Dalai Lama Fellows (DLF) is a community of leaders, social innovators and organizers who are committed to making the world a better place for all through leadership that is wise, caring, and sustainable. DLF embraces a “Head, Heart, and Hands” leadership model that holds self-awareness, emotional intelligence, compassion, and resilience as necessary skills for responding to the complex challenges of the 21st Century. The program engages the “head” by training the mind to cultivate awareness and understand systems, the “heart” by harnessing the wisdom of the heart in deepening compassion while working across differences and navigating uncertainty, and the “hands” by enacting wisdom and compassion in the change-making work the fellows do within their communities.
