Pushing Past Impossible - Ancient Insights for a Modern World.
Imagine bringing two opposite cultures, traditions and worlds together. Imagine a white, middle aged lawyer and PMP becoming an elder in an ancient African tribe. Imagine a conservative Maasai warrior bonding with a Canadian “brother” and starting a business together. Imagine pushing past the impossible with the power of respect, strength, courage, goodness and curiosity. Sharing his experiences with the Maasai tribe of Tanzania, learn how their wisdom helped Paul rethink the “impossible”.
- Ohana & Alaka'i. By Fabio Rigamonti.

- Finding your place in the world through diversity and inclusion. By Agata Czopek.
I have always had a feeling that I do not belong where I was born. So, no wonder, that one day I have left my country and moved to Switzerland - a country with 3 languages, neither of them I spoke well...and joined Deloitte. Hopefully the same time I was admitted to LIMC and went through a journey that showed me the real value of diversity and inclusion. As a result, I have left Deloitte and found my new place among the most healthy people in the most unhealthy company you can imagine. You might ask how this was possible?

- Achieving 3-D success by Leading Intelligently, Magnetically, Caringly (LIMC). By Karthik Ramamurthy.
“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!” That's what I thought when alumni urged me to apply for the "life-changing LIMC experience at zero fees." How wrong I was! My LIMC experience far exceeded what was promised. LIMC learnings helped me dramatically improve leadership effectiveness in three important life dimensions: Career, Family, and Volunteering. The session features real-life stories of how I was able to achieve much greater success.

- I’m a Better Me Because of LIMC. By Laura Davidson.
I am fiercely independent; a little shy; and, rarely the most confident person in the room. LIMC taught me that we are more alike than different and by utilizing our talents and seeking help where we need it (and, trusting that advice enough to implement it) we put our best selves forward and contribute to the success of our efforts. I’ll discuss how LIMC binds us, PMI unites us, Love, Respect and Friendship keep us close.
- From VIP to VEP. By Donatella Calderini.
In this session, I will share my experience on how -after my LIMC- I had the idea to build a masterclass/Volunteer Empowering Program for my chapter’s volunteers. This allowed my Chapter to get the best from your Volunteer Team, to enhance the performance of the projects in the Chapter, and onboard more Volunteers.

The SDI exercise was an eye opener for me. I had difficulty in dealing with people who are very directive and cutthroat but LIMC journey helped me how to discover and cop up with them.
