The course will make you uncomfortable. But if you do the work, you'll become aware of your goals, gain the courage to dream bigger, and build a community of global friends sharing their own goals, insights and life stories.
Before the program, I was confused about how to carve my own path. But now, I feel more prepared and energised for my future!
Seokhyun (Nathan) Baek, South Korea
Before joining the Dream Lab, anxiety clouded my future and passion. However, the program welcomed me arms-wide-opened to a safe space where I unleashed my visions. During this program, I experienced the “light bulb” moment, allowing me to blow life into my dreams; hence, the program’s name.
To sum it all up, the Dream Lab acted as a stepping stone toward personal discovery.
