ILDUSA is available to help your organization make a greater difference as we build leaders intentionally!!!

“One of my goals in life was to retire at age 40. I had saved $1,000 in the bank by age 11, had employees by age 13, had created a monopoly on all the 150+ Sunday morning newspapers delivered in my hometown by age 14, and bought out my two competitors while opening a storefront for my bicycle repair shop at age 15. I missed the age 40 goal as I took my last paycheck at age 41.5. Since then I have experienced great joy in volunteering across 6 continents to help leaders grow who build groups and organizations that are making a difference.” Kevin Phillips, Ed.D., Founder and CEO of ILDUSA
