NLILA Categories & Programs Descriptions
The NLILA recognizes that established traditional education systems do a great job at offering technical competencies with many specialized courses that can sharpen the execution of presentation skills, concept development and other traditional business skills - we will offer this sort of training too. However the NLILA’s heart shines brightest on cultivating the essential skills of inner development, empathy, effective interpersonal communication, tools to deepen understanding, self-management and transcending limited individual perspectives. We celebrate the power of each person's uniqueness while emphasizing the importance of connecting with others on a deeper level and understanding the shared interior spaces we all possess.
