LIFE: Leadership Initiative For Excellence
LIFE Leadership Training is an intensive, highly experiential program based on neuroscience. Throughout a three-day, full-immersion training program, CIMBA Italy undergraduate students encounter and practice the skills needed for effective leadership and personal growth. These skills empower students to develop the "visioning" and "execution" skills necessary to make changes of value in their lives. Spots are limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. This workshop provides one credit and will happen during the first few weeks of the program.

Genesis: Your Journey to Purpose & Connection
Genesis is a 2.5-day comprehensive personal development workshop designed to empower study abroad students to make lasting life improvements. In this supportive, classroom-like environment, dedicated trainers equip students with tools for emotional management and encourage deep introspection and the exploration of identity at each student’s own pace. This workshop is mandatory for people not enrolled in LIFE and will happen during the first few weeks of the program.
LEAP: Learn, Enrich, Achieve, and Perform
Each semester, CIMBA Italy offers undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in the LEAP (Learn, Enrich, Achieve, Perform) program. This leadership and personal development program is a follow-up course to the LIFE program and allows you to further explore what you learned with a team of professors, trainers, and coaches. If you complete both LIFE and LEAP, you will earn three credit hours. If you are interested in enrolling in LEAP, we recommend talking with CIMBA Italy staff and your home institution to find out how your university will accept your LEAP credits. We encourage you to participate in LEAP to obtain the CIMBA Leadership Certificate. This leadership program is highly innovative, and students find it very useful to their professional development.
