International Leadership Council

International Leadership Council

The International Leadership Council (ILC) works in collaboration with the TIFI Board and the Executive Director.  Its purpose is to help set the direction of The International Focusing Institute (TIFI).  Since the ILC was formed in 2014, it has primarily worked to clarify the roles of TIFI's Coordinators, and to improve communication with and among them. The ILC is intentionally diverse in terms of geography, culture, language and Focusing styles and backgrounds.
