Club 1888

Golf is the Platform. Growth is the Outcome.

Club 1888 is a private, application-only community of high-performing operators, executives, and business owners using golf and community as a platform for relationships, development, and opportunity.

"What makes Raj exceptional is his ability to make neuroscience practical. He doesn't just explain how the brain works, he helps you understand why you react the way you do under pressure and gives you simple, actionable tools to respond differently. The result isn't just better leadership; it's a better way of showing up at work, at home, and in life. Every session leaves me with new insights, practical takeaways, and a renewed commitment to becoming the best version of myself."

"As a Division 1 college golfer, the LEO program was instrumental in helping me train my most valuable asset, my mind. When I started the program, it felt like I had unlocked a superpower that allowed me to perform at levels I previously deemed unattainable. Most importantly, the skills I developed in the LEO program transcended athletics and have enhanced my ability to navigate challenges in all other areas in life. I would recommend the LEO program to anyone who wishes to reach their true potential."

"Leo and its founder, Dr Nijhawan, were instrumental in overcoming my paralyzing anxiety related to developing throat cancer. The LEO Program's concepts permanently transformed how I think minute-to-minute, which, in the end, is where we have to focus; on the ever-so-short present."

THE FOUNDATION

Four Pillars, One Community

Relationships

Deep, meaningful connections built on trust, vulnerability, and shared ambition.

Leadership development, brain tools, self-awareness, and continuous improvement - together.

Experiences

World class golf, curated events, and environments that create lasting impact, regardless of skill level.

Access

Introductions and relationships that create opportunities.

THE STRUCTURE

The Club 1888 program is a monthly, all-day leadership experience combining brain science, practical application, golf, and community. Each gathering begins with a two-hour breakfast session to learn, practice, and integrate advanced brain tools for leadership and personal excellence. Participants then take these insights onto the golf course through a round of golf and/or skills competitions, using pressure and performance as opportunities to deepen self-awareness and improve real-time calibration. The day concludes with a facilitated community debrief to reinforce key lessons, integrate new insights, and strengthen a culture of members elevating one another. Gatherings will take place once per month on a weekday, Monday through Thursday.

THE INTEGRATION

Structured Development. Powered by LEO.

Club 1888's integration with the Life Ecology Organization (LEO) gives members practical brain tools and facilitated conversations designed to improve leadership, relationships, awareness, and performance under pressure.

Practical Tools

Brain-based development tools, for everyday life.

Measurable Impact

Growth that compounds in business and in life.

Relationship Growth

Higher quality connections that last.

WHY?

1888 represents the intersection of three ideas that define Club 1888.

It reflects one of the foundational years in American golf: a tradition built on challenge, integrity, and relationships that endure long after the final putt.

It marks an important era in the emergence of modern psychology, reminding us that our greatest competitive advantage is often not found in better strategy alone, but in better understanding ourselves and others.

Finally, the number 888 has long symbolized abundance, continual growth, and infinite potential. For us, it serves as a simple reminder that growth has no finish line.

Because no matter how much we've accomplished, there is always another level of leadership to develop, another relationship to deepen, another perspective to gain, and another version of ourselves waiting to emerge.

THE MEMBERSHIP

By Application Only

Membership is extended to those who lead, build, and invest in themselves and others. For a monthly investment comparable to executive peer-development organizations such as Vistage, TEC Canada, and YPO, members participate in a unique blend of neuroscience-based leadership development, practical application, golf, and an exceptional peer community that accelerates personal growth, trusted relationships, and business opportunity.
