The
central feature of The Power Lab is The Society of New Hope, a three-class
community with sharp differences in wealth and power. You enter this
world as either an Elite who owns and controls most of the society's
resources, as an Immigrant with little more than the clothes on your
back, or as a Middle who needs to function between these two contrasting
worlds. This is a total immersion experience covering all aspects of
your life for as long as the societal experience lasts.
In this dramatic
setting, a
ll
the critical issues of power and leadership facing you in your daily
life emerge sharply and clearly. Here you have the opportunity to take
a good look at your usual way of handling these issues, explore new
approaches, and test your full limit.
In this setting
you have your own personal coach. Your coach is dedicated to helping
you get to the full limits of your power. Your coach is available for
consultation, to keep you focused on your goals, to make you aware of
choices you are making, and to hold you to high standards of what's
possible for you. This power coaching is one of the outstanding features
of the 
Power
Lab.
Following the societal experience there is a one-day Organization Workshop in which you play a role different from the one you had in The Society of New Hope. This experience deepens your learning and begins the application to your back-home setting.
