Quotes from previous participants:

"I was looking for a week off of life, a week to simply have fun and  
enjoy my time, maybe learn something new. But when I joined  
Leadershape, I had more than just that: I had a week where all my  
strains where washed away, all my limitations removed; I was able to  
think without boundaries, picture and shape my future the way I wanted  
it, and learn how to make it real and down to earth. Basically,  
Leadershape helped me clear my vision of where I want to go and how.  
Plus, I met a lot of interesting people, many of whom are now my  
friends, and are the people who in the future can help me reach my  
goals. So if you're looking for that fun week like me, trust me, get  
in Leadershape and you'll get that and then some". ~ LS 2008 participant



"No classroom can teach what I learned at LeaderShape.  I still find  
myself looking back at it as the most valuable experience at MIT." ~  
LS 2005 participant


"LeaderShape changed how I view the world and people in it." ~ LS 2006  
participant

Just as a personal aside, I think approaching leadership in a formal  
setting is an moving experience -- granted, unlike a more quantitative  
field, people often have a very different reactions and takeaways.  No  
matter what field you end up in, it is foreseeable that at some point  
in your life you will be a leader.  I personally feel we have much to  
gain by thinking about these ideas earlier than later, be it in  
LeaderShape or some other opportunity.

Best,

Noah
