The Competitiveness Mindset Institute (CMI) is a non-profit organization based in Kendall Park, NJ, USA, dedicated to research and education in non-cognitive skills.
CMI offers Competitiveness and Leadership training (FLY programs) based on its research - that conclusively shows how specific non-cognitive skills can profoundly enhance competitiveness, personal effectiveness, leadership ability and productivity.
The FLY Training Programs
FLY (Finding the Leader in You) training programs focus on developing the top 5 non-cognitive skills* that research has shown are both critically important to competitiveness and also most wanting (on average) among professionals. These skills also help focus and amplify the technical (or hard) skills that you have learned over the years so that you become more effective in everything you do.
FLY training programs are not web-based videos. They are highly rated, real-time, instructor-led, small-group, highly participatory, action-oriented programs, that are offered both in-person and online.
