What is Experiential Training and Learning?
The best leadership training uses an experiential learning model where participants discover and experiment with knowledge firsthand instead of hearing or reading information. Our experiential training strengthens each participant’s expertise through experience, observation, conceptualization, and experimentation.
For the learning to stick, we get participants out of their comfort zones and challenge them in service of their growth.
