Learning by doing, or experiential learning, engages every single person in every single training, development, coaching and strategy session we offer.
Action learning is simply anything that gives your people hands-on learning opportunities. In a classroom, we offer breakouts that challenge participants to experience trial and error learning rebound and apply lessons forward. In coaching, we give action assignments in real time so coachees can apply key learning’s. In our strategy sessions, we bring remarkable visual materials, research and case studies to inspire your people to greater strategic thinking.
