Our Mission

think2perform RESEARCH INSTITUTE is a registered 501c3 nonprofit with the mission of advancing moral, purposeful, and emotionally intelligent leadership for ALL. 

We accomplish this mission by:

  • Empowering our next generation of leaders through the Future Leaders Academy for youth.
  • Funding research on current issues faced by leaders, such as "what makes a good mentor?"
  • Publishing the findings for the benefit of ALL, with freely accessible content in our newsletter and the Social Impact Paper series published online.
  • Developing practical applications and sharing new practices at conferences and training events.

think2perform RESEARCH INSTITUTE  focuses on ALL leaders, but especially youth and those who may not have access to high-quality professional development resources. 

Future Leaders Academy:

We nurture and inspire our next generation of emotionally intelligent leaders.

In January 2022, we welcomed our first cohort of young leaders (aged 16-23) to our Future Leaders Academy. The program is open to all youth in the state of Minnesota and we dedicate consider effort in recruiting participants from lower-income and underrepresented communities in our state. This 18-month leadership program, including a 5-month leadership workshop and a 12+-month facilitated mentorship experience, enrolls each January. 

Our theory of leadership starts with the individual, who they are and their values. Based on their values, each youth participant develops 3 key goals to work toward during mentorship phase of the program.  In the process, and with support through the 18-month program experience, Future Leaders develop a clearer sense of who they are, what their goals are, and how to achieve them today and throughout their lives.

We are committed to building a community of Future Leaders well beyond the conclusion of this impactful, 18-month program. Program graduates are invited to participate in mentorship kick-off and graduation events and we are working to build a network of young leaders across program cohorts.

Speakers included thought leaders, who donated their time in support of this cause, among them:

  •  nationally known authors Doug Lennick and Richard Leider, 
  • leading academics, including Stanford's Lori Nishiura Mackenzie,
