“Being part of the DCI inaugural class was a bit like being a kid again. Not only were we “going back to school,” but DCI staff, Fellows, Partners, and the university were all trying to figure things out as we went along. It was certainly a period of discovery across many levels, shaping each of our next chapters in life and yielding a set of meaningful and enduring friendships.”
Steve Goodall, Stanford DCI 2015
“The DCI experience gives Fellows who have been working for decades in a focused career, a chance to indulge their pure curiosity.”

“The ability to step out of your comfort zone and embrace the situation and get comfortable being uncomfortable has led me to the most amazing experiences.“
