The Future Shapers are transformational leaders building our world for tomorrow –innovators, lateral thinkers, strategists, creators and change makers.
They’re the people who think outside the box and who will shape our world for the future.
The Future Shapers is a 12-month program of development, transformational leadership growth, and big picture strategic thinking.
It’s designed for disability leaders by disability leaders. The world’s first disability leadership program to be fully developed and run by those who understand disability leadership best – experienced disability leaders.
This is the premier program in disability leadership.
The Future Shapers harnesses the unique perspective of disability leaders and applies it to big picture strategies to build the future, including design thinking, blue ocean strategy and quantum theory.

The Disability Leadership Institute is currently taking nominations for our 2018 Future Shapers program.
This is a rigorous leadership program that takes participants on a transformational journey to the next level of leadership.
This program transforms people, teams, organisations and communities.
The Future Shapers is the world’s first specialist disability leadership program by people with disabilities for people with disabilities. The program recognises that no diversity group has shifted towards equality without a specialist focus on their development built from within their own community.
The Future Shapers Program recognises the unique leadership approach taken by disability leaders; it combines the strengths of a disability focussed environment, the power of collaboration, and a framework of innovation, then wraps it inside a transformational leadership course using vertical leadership principles and action logic.
Future Shapers are the ones who build answers and make the future.
They are the next generation of leaders that our world, and our communities, need today.
You can support a Future Shaper by sponsoring them to participate in our 2018 program.
