HeartWired™ Leaders Program
A cohort-based journey for mission-driven leaders to design belonging-centered systems and ethically integrate AI—so care scales and people thrive.
What is HeartWired™?
HeartWired™ is a systems-level methodology and learning journey to rehumanize engagement, integrate ethical AI, and build brave cultures across modalities—on campus and beyond.
Built for impact
Designed from two decades of leadership and research, the program blends narrative, metrics, and applied practice.
Three tiers
Foundations (Leader) → Fellowship (Builder) → Certification (Architect / train-the-trainer).
