Welcome to the Future Leaders Program, 180 Degrees Conuslting’s game-changing 9-month journey that turns bold, curious, passionate social leaders into confident, connected, and unstoppable changemakers.
Fill in the above mentioned application form to the best of your ability to submit your application to start your own branch.
Show us your motivation for wanting to found your own 180 Degrees Consulting branch and your initial ideas on how to run your branch during an interview with our Growth Team.
Once you have convinced us during the interview, show us you have what it takes to run a branch by submitting a detailed branch proposal.
Kick off your journey with a 3-month immersive course from Potentialife where leadership meets neuroscience. Founded by a former McKinsey partner and Harvard professor, this isn’t your typical training. Through weekly 2-hour microlearning sessions, buddy group discussions, and behavior-based tools, you'll build the habits of high-impact, values-driven leaders.
Learn to lead with confidence, compassion, and clarity, and develop the mindset that drives meaningful change.
Next, dive into what real impact looks like with support from Escient by reflecting on your values, exploring pressing social issues, and applying your insights using our custom Social Impact Workbook. You’ll be mentored one-on-one by professionals tailored to your goals and get insider access to industry knowledge and you’ll also learn from the journey of Forte, an ed-fintech nonprofit launched by 180 Degrees Consulting founder, Nat Ware.
Use our custom Social Impact Workbook to turn your insights into action and start shaping the change you want to lead.
End the program with a bang at our closing ceremony, where you'll pitch your own social impact venture, which is where ideas become action. With expert feedback and community support, you'll walk away not just with a plan, but with the tools and confidence to make it happen.
This is where vision becomes venture.
The Future Leaders Program doesn’t just create leaders, it surrounds them with giants. At the heart of this program is a strong network of global partners who believe in bold ideas, ambitious impact, and unlocking human potential at scale. These aren't just our partners, they’re co-architects of your transformation.
Imagine learning leadership not from textbooks, but through a cutting-edge, neuroscience-driven platform built by Potentialife. You’ll sharpen your mindset, habits, and behavior alongside top-tier facilitators and coaches who’ve worked with world-class organizations.
Then, you’ll step into the world of social innovation with Escient, where experienced consultants and strategists walk you through what it actually takes to build sustainable, purpose-driven ventures. Get mentored by rising stars and seasoned professionals, and build a global network of high-potential individuals. They’re not just talking about the future of work, you’re building it with them.
You’ll also get the opportunity to connect with Forte, the education-financing non-profit founded by 180 Degrees’s own visionary founder, Nat Ware, a Forbes 30 Under 30 innovator. Add to that an electric lineup of world-renowned speakers, intimate CXO chats, and one-on-one coaching sessions. At the Future Leaders Program you'll get a support system unlike anything offered in traditional leadership courses.

The 180DC team are professionals at their jobs. At first, I thought that young university students would not be able to deliver such solutions. Their report reminds me of the work of ‘The Big 3’ consulting firms!
The team was amazing, they went the extra mile to do additional analysis which we will apply to other regions outside the initial scope. They were highly motivated and professional and I'm keen to work with them again on the next phase of work.
Thank you 180DC, for all that you have done, and are doing, to support SolarBuddy's mission. Our experience working with you has been phenomenal! To all the numerous amazing students I've personally worked with, you are leading the way! Keep going!
I was so impressed with the detail, the approach, the regular communication, and most of all, that the team really listened. I am your biggest fan. Your support has been terrific through what was quite a challenging time for mySircles.
The 180DC project managers bring real professionalism to their communication, which made working with them really easy. The thing we love the most is that they are curious and engaged, they ask great questions which prompted us to think differently.
We are excited to have been recognized ain the Global Awards. We launched two initiatves to enhance skill development and knowledge-sharing among our consultants, and revenue from these endeavours allowed us to reinvest in our consultants.
Bringing 180DC to my city has been one of the most rewarding experiences I ever had. Trust the process and bring these things with you: a committed founding team, motivation to work hard, and the desire to help your local community.

It’s been great getting to meet such a diverse cohort with a wide range of experiences; I’ve enjoyed everyone I’ve met with so far!
Another important realization is that I don’t have to do this alone. The FLP program has connected me with people who have experience in social impact, and I’ve seen how valuable networking and mentorship can be.
One of my biggest personal challenges has always been turning vision into reality, not just believing in change but believing in my own ability to create it. This program has given me the confidence to recognize that I do have what it takes.

We aspire to become the 'best of the best' in APAC, driven by a shared vision to maximise our impact. Together, we believe that no challenge is too big when backed by a global network dedicated to making a difference.
There is no doubt that the skills and lessons I gained from my experience with 180DC will continue to guide me in my professional life and beyond post-college.
