Description
The International Genuine Contact Organization (IGCO) is a global Leadership Learning Incubator – a place where members practice holistic leadership by participating in the real work of the organization. At the Partner level, your participation in that work deepens significantly.
As a Partner, you’re not just attending – you’re facilitating. You take on a Quality Commitment, setting and tracking a personal development goal for the year. And you gain access to expanded resources and visibility that reflect your growing expertise.
