OUR ORIGIN
The seeds of Abroad were sown in the peaceful landscapes of Bhutan, a small Himalayan Nation renowned for its Gross National Happiness philosophy. This philosophy serves as a powerful testament to the belief that true development and success extend beyond economic growth, encompassing the holistic well-being of individuals and society at large. We warmly invite you to discover the narrative of how Bhutan’s unique wisdom influenced the purpose, vision, and endeavors of Abroad.
Our inception was as awe-inspiring as the very philosophy we embody. A group of transformational coaches, esteemed psychologists, and wisdom keepers embarked on a soul-searching quest to Bhutan's most remote villages. It was amidst this backdrop that destiny intertwined our paths with a group of visionary business leaders hailing from one of the world's best business schools, all engaged in envisioning potential futures.
As we gathered at a wellness resort that would later become a valued investor in Abroad, our group shared a meal and exchanged ideas, leading to an important realization. We recognized the power of uniting science, technology, and timeless wisdom to develop the leaders our world so desperately needs - the very leaders capable of shaping the world we inherently believe is possible. It was during this serendipitous encounter that the Abroad vision was born.
Our Purpose & Vision
Abroad’s is driven by a profound purpose: to develop the leaders and organizations our world urgently requires, thereby forging a future of prosperity and well-being for all. We acknowledge that leaders are incredible catalysts of impact, shaping the environments in which we operate and influencing the products and services we encounter daily. Our vision extends far beyond equipping leaders with conventional business growth tools; we envision a world where leaders possess the wisdom and self-awareness to cultivate a thriving, harmonious society.
