The Global Ripple

A "Think and Do Tank":

Fueled by world-class change leadership tools from Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, CCL, Fortune 500 executive development programs, and more...

  • 1st Ripple - you develop an idea that has significant and meaningful impact in your local community or around the world.
  • 2nd Ripple - we help you implement the idea. One student from Boston started the first female soccer league in the Kilimanjaro region to empower village girls through sports.
  • 3rd Ripple - you pass it on, helping to train the next wave.

CGL focus areas...
