“THE SENSEI LEADER is not just another leadership development program. It is a movement.”

Our programs support this movement and help us fulfill our vision and mission…

Vision: To promote and restore human-centric leadership in business and society around the world.

Mission: To develop, cultivate and support human-centric leaders through education, meaningful dialog and training. To help these leaders Inspire, Empower and Guide people to their very best.

The world is changing and leaders must change with it. The days of "command and control" are over. People are demanding leaders who are emotionally intelligent and put the priorities of the people they serve above selfish ends. We call these "human-centric" leaders––and our movement is dedicated to developing, cultivating and supporting these leaders.

I’m a former drug addict and two time college dropout. I used to think that was a miserable resume for someone who trains leaders to be better people.

I now know that it is the perfect resume! Here's why…

Leaders are made, not born. I’ll go a little further, leaders are transformed.

I transformed myself from a loser to a leader––from a drug abuser to a Black Belt, and later to Sensei. Over 30 years of teaching I helped hundreds of others transform themselves into Black Belts, and thousands more discover their best selves."

Jim Bouchard is an internationally recognized speaker, Leadership Activist, and founder of The SENSEI LEADER Movement ™.
