The Whitebelter program is an initiative designed to expose participants to various practices that are essential for effective leadership in the modern world. The program consists of six 1-1.5 hour learning sessions, each focusing on a specific area of leadership development.

The program aims to develop a new generation of leaders who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to drive positive change in their communities and beyond. Here are some of the practices that participants are exposed to during the program starting from White Belt (BLI 110) to Black Belt (BLI 190):

1. Public narrative: Participants learn how to craft a compelling personal and organizational story that inspires and motivates others to action. They learn how to use storytelling to build trust, communicate values, and engage stakeholders.

2. Futures thinking: Participants learn how to use foresight tools and techniques to anticipate and prepare for the future. They learn how to analyze trends, identify potential scenarios, and develop strategies that enable them to adapt to changing circumstances and emerging challenges.

3. Leadership self-awareness: Participants learn how to develop self-awareness, which is the ability to understand their strengths, weaknesses, values, and biases. They learn how to manage their emotions, communicate effectively, and build strong relationships with others.

Throughout the program, participants are encouraged to practice these different practices and apply them in real-life situations. They are also provided with opportunities to network with other participants, mentors, and experts in various fields. The program aims to create a community of leaders who can work together to drive positive change in their communities and beyond.

White belters who are interested to progress to BL Yellow Belt (Level 2) are expected to submit their portfolio to their BL Circle Facilitators for validation and sign the Commitment to Membership letter.
