Who are we?
Igniting leaders to transform the world for the better
Our name, Alyceum is derived from the latin word, lyceum, which is a place of learning. It was a place to improve yourself and your community. Lyceums were a place for philosophical debate, dramatic performances and sharing of ideas. The most famous philosophers in history taught at Lyceums including Aristotle, Plato and Socrates.
In today’s world, there is a growing need for leaders to come together and explore new ways of leading in business and the community. Alyceum is growing a community of leaders who are making the world a better place.
