For leaders who want to lead differently

Ways to take part in the Positive Impact Hub as an individual, rather than through your organization: learn, belong, listen, attend, and be coached.

Leadership is the conditions a leader creates around other people. Everything here is a way to practice creating them, with others who are doing the same.

1. Learn

Ascend Institute

First cohort to be announced

The five-stage leadership journey

Lead Self, Lead Others, Lead Systems, Applied Leadership, and Integration and Graduation. Formation before information: who you become, not only what you know.

Ascend Institute is the Positive Impact Hub's leadership institute, one pillar of the ecosystem. Its journey begins with the inner world of the leader, moves to relationships and teams, then to the culture and systems a leader shapes, and closes on a capstone applied to real work. Every stage is experiential first, and the person who designs the journey is the person in the room.

Where it stands. Ascend delivers programs to organizations today. The first open cohort for individual leaders is designed and its date is not yet announced. Registering interest puts you on the list that hears first, and tells us who the first cohort should be built for.

How it starts. A short call about where you are in your leadership and what you want to be different in a year.

2. Belong

Gather

Founding year, by invitation

A circle of peers who practice rather than perform

A peer community for experienced leaders who want to use their expertise and influence deliberately. This is not a place to perform leadership. It is a place to practice it.

Gather connects the classroom, the stage, and the world: what a leader learned in a program, what they heard at the Summit, and what they face on Monday. Members think clearly when decisions are complex, speak honestly when the stakes are real, and hold each other to leadership that compounds positive impact over time.

Where it stands. The founding year is by invitation, guided by the Positive Impact Council, a small group of leaders who steward the community as it begins. Open membership follows. If you want to be considered for the founding year, say so and we will talk.

How it starts. A conversation about how you lead, what you would contribute, and what you would want from a circle of peers.

3. Listen

Amplify

Three episodes recorded, first release soon

The podcast on what works in leadership

Conversations with leaders who create environments where people thrive, perform and belong, grounded in the science of positive leadership.

Amplify looks for what is working rather than dramatizing what fails: the practices, decisions and cultural patterns that outperform the norm, and the leaders behind them. Each episode is built to leave you with one reframed belief, one concrete practice you can try within seven days, and one story you will remember.

Where it stands. Three episodes are recorded. The first releases soon, and it will be shared on LinkedIn when it is.

How it starts. Follow Roberta on LinkedIn, where the first episode will be shared.

4. Attend

The Positive Impact Leadership Summit

Two editions held, next to be announced

Ignite, the Summit

Two editions held in Doha, in 2024 and 2025. Leaders meet policymakers, ideas become alliances, heritage meets the future.

The Summit convenes a curated room of senior leaders, by invitation, for a day and an evening built around the questions leaders actually carry: how to lead in a landscape transformed by technology, how to build a culture that keeps people, how to move fast and stay grounded.

Where it stands. The next edition will be announced. Attendance is by invitation, and registering interest is how the invitation list is built.

How it starts. A few lines on who you are and what you lead, or bring it to the call.

5. Be coached

One to one coaching

Available now

For senior leaders and people managers

A confidential working relationship for a leader taking on a bigger role, coming out of a program, or facing a decision that keeps returning.

Coaching is grounded in positive psychology and positive leadership: it works from your strengths and the conditions you create, not from a list of what is wrong. It is delivered in English or Portuguese, in person in Doha or online, and the conversations are confidential to you. That boundary is agreed before anything begins.

How it starts. A thirty minute conversation to see whether the fit is right on both sides.
