Inner Development Goals SF Bay Area Summit

Join Us for a Transformative Exploration of the Inner Development Goals

November 5th + 6th, 2026

The world is demanding a new kind of leadership—one that is adaptable, emotionally intelligent, and deeply connected. Whether you're leading a team, driving social change, or navigating uncertainty, your inner development is just as critical as your external strategies.

The Inner Development Goals (IDGs) were created to bridge this gap. They were developed as a framework to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by equipping individuals and organizations with the skills necessary to drive meaningful, systemic change. While the SDGs outline global challenges—climate action, social equity, and sustainable economies—the IDGs focus on the inner growth and leadership capacities required to meet these challenges effectively.

Join a diverse and forward-thinking community of leaders, changemakers, and visionaries for an immersive experience designed to strengthen your leadership, expand your network, and deepen your impact.

Compassion 2.0, in collaboration with the Berkeley Interconnecting & Collaborating Hub and the San Francisco Bay Area Compassion 2.0 Hub, is thrilled to invite you to an immersive gathering dedicated to exploring the Inner Development Goals (IDGs). This multi-day event will bring together a diverse community of practitioners, thought leaders, service providers, and change makers committed to fostering human growth and societal transformation.

Why the Inner Development Goals?

The Inner Development Goals (IDGs) provide a scientifically backed framework for personal and collective growth, essential for addressing today’s global challenges. They consist of five core dimensions, each containing key skills necessary for leadership, resilience, and social impact:

🌱 Being – Cultivating inner clarity, presence, and well-being.💡 Thinking – Developing cognitive flexibility, critical thinking, and perspective-taking.❤️ Relating – Strengthening compassion, communication, and meaningful connections.🔄 Collaborating – Fostering trust, inclusion, and co-creation in diverse teams.🚀 Acting – Cultivating courage, resilience, and integrity in leading change.
