THE IDEAS INSTITUTE IS A NON-PROFIT WHOSE MAIN GOAL IS MAKING THE WISDOM OF EXPERTS ACROSS A DIVERSITY OF DISCIPLINES AVAILABLE TO THOSE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT LEVEL OF PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND RELATIONAL GROWTH. THE WORK OF THE IDEAS INSTITUTE EXISTS AT A PLACE OF POST-EDUCATION, POST-THERAPY, POST-TRAINING, AND POST-CURRENT WORK HISTORY. IT IS ABOUT PLACING PEOPLE IN SITUATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS THAT WILL HAVE THE POWER TO OFFER THEM PARADIGM SHIFTS, VISION EXPANSION, AND A MORE WHOLE VERSION OF THEMSELVES. WE TAKE THE INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL (WISDOM OF THE MIND, HEART AND SOUL) FROM ONE PART OF THE POPULATION, AND OFFER IT TO ANOTHER PART OF THE POPULATION.
