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, all 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.
