Our Mission
What we stand for
At Compass for Life, we’re here to help you look deeper into yourself as you set your vision
for life and achieve your goals. Whether you’re a business leader, international sporting
champion, teacher or simply looking for inspiration, our visionary programme will help you
delve into your wildest dreams and deepest passions to unlock an untapped pool of
potential and attain your goals.
Our evidence-based bespoke leadership and development programme assists individuals
and teams alike in finding their true purpose – or as we call it, your Super North Star.
Right from the beginning of your journey, and with every step you take, your Super North
Star will become your guiding principle through life, giving you the wisdom, strength and
conviction to navigate the path you choose to walk.
Philosophy
The Four Cardinals
Based on the four cardinals of the compass, our methodology teaches you how to become the best version of yourself and unlock qualities within you that can influence your future and contribution to the world. With each of the cardinals in perfect equilibrium, you’ll be impossible to beat, even on your worst days.
When these four cardinals come together and are in equilibrium, we create leaders with
profound depth and adaptability. What’s more, our leadership courses and development
programmes are universal. From executive coaching for senior leaders across multiple
industries to management team leadership training and future leaders’ courses, we all have
the capacity to transform ourselves.
Super North Star
Your Super North Star is an unambiguous visualisation of your dream and a commitment to achieve it. A purpose to aim towards in a personal and professional perspective that sits high on the horizon so you can always see it.
Warrior Spirit
Your strength of character is what we call your Warrior Spirit. When you unleash your warrior spirit, you’ll ignite the strength, mental and physical resilience within yourself to fight for and achieve your Super North Star.
Ethos
Your ethos is a set of principles that guide your thinking and behaviour. We help you understand your authentic self and create a culture of high support and high challenge to guide you on your journey.
Strategist
Becoming a strategist is looking at the facts, figures and detail to plan your route to reach your Super North Star. Using a combination of wisdom and common sense, together we’ll challenge your own misconceptions to help you develop and refine a roadmap for life with realistic milestones.
The Foundation
Our non-profit
The Education Policy Institute 2020 report states that disadvantaged pupils are on average 18 months behind their peers in academic attainment by the age of 16. At the current rate, the study says it will take 500 years to close the gap. But we’ve made it our mission to do something about this today.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, we’re able to help disadvantaged children and young people to reach their full potential through the Compass for Life Foundation. With a lifelong programme of development and learning that harnesses the power of unbridled imagination, our foundation helps children and young people to make their wildest dreams a reality.
The pure magic of our children’s imaginations should never be underestimated, which is why the very core of our programme is centred around giving young people the tools to articulate their dreams. From here, we help them draw a map that takes them directly to their own Super North Star. By doing this, we give them a compass to navigate their way through the ups and downs of life so they grow into well-rounded adults with a clear sense of self and purpose.
With your donations, we’re able to empower teachers, youth workers and mentors with the tools they need to help us on this journey.
