Community-building

Talent sourcing & development

Unitaware recruits fresh members constantly and opens new hubs throughout the world. We have developed standardized processes for recruiting, onboarding, and engagement.

Building offline & online hubs

Over the past five years, Unitaware has welcomed over 100 members and opened three hubs worldwide. These hubs host regular offline and online gatherings led by trained professionals and organized by our community. Looking ahead, we plan to open new hubs in East and Southeast Asia, the United States, and Germany within the next two years, all operating under a shared governance framework.

Projects

We focus on evidence-based talent development to enhance cognitive & mental abilities and connect personal goals to values, and we support it with extensive research in individual and collective decision-making.

Education & Training

In line with our focus on cognitive skill-building, we’ve also spent the last five years running training programs that emphasize decision-making and self-regulation.

Cognitive skills development online training

We’ve conducted 30+ training and peer-to-peer sessions on goal-setting, mindfulness, and developing personal agency. Highly experienced psychologists and executive coaches guide these sessions.

Self-introspection workshop for high school students

We have hosted 2 interactive lectures for high school students, focusing on self-reflection and personal growth. During these sessions, we shared our experience on choosing a career path that aligns with individual values

Comprehensive educational program

Most recently, we launched a two-month course on goal-setting and well-being, drawing over 20 entrepreneurs, creators, experts, and social movement activists. Interactive sessions, practical exercises, and peer support introduced proven strategies for personal and professional growth—a transformative experience grounded in best practices tested by Unitaware.

Research team goals

Our research team focuses on hypothesis development and iterative experimentation, blending insights from various fields like natural sciences and interdisciplinary studies for effective, non-linear solutions and precise system modeling:

Guided by expertise from neuroscientists and clinical psychologists.
Results inform practices to foster intrinsic motivation for altruism and frameworks for self-improvement.

Research team methodology

Our workflow includes:

Problem Identification: Acknowledge and grasp the problem's nature and impact
Issue Analysis: Understand problem's complexities and the consequences of not resolving it.
Root Causes Analysis: Uncover and explain fundamental causes of the problem.
Evaluating Current and Past Approaches: Review the effectiveness of existing solutions and, if necessary, propose alternative hypothesis based on the first principles

Inclusive Research Hub

A group of people conducting research in such areas as:

Political, economic, sociological, and psychological studies, including organizational psychology, social neuroscience, leadership studies, and social systems studies.
Natural science research.
Cross-disciplinary studies.
Complexity theory & Systems theory approaches.

We integrate practices and insights from efficient organizations aligned with our values. This approach not only draws from theoretical frameworks but also applies real-world-tested strategies, enhancing our robustness.

We think in terms of hypotheses and iterations. We address problem systematically problems, identify nonlinear effective solutions, and model system developments more realistically.

Methodology

A research that allows us to find ways of our development in the outside world.
The main stages that we revealed during the work:

Identifying and Confirming Problems: Recognizing the existence of a problem and understanding its implications.
Understanding the Issues: Comprehending what makes each problem challenging and the consequences of not resolving it.
Analyzing Root Causes: Describing the reasons behind a problem and its underlying mechanisms.
Evaluating Current and Past Approaches: Studying existing solutions, assessing their effectiveness, and, if necessary, proposing alternative hypotheses based on our principle
