learning through self-discovery and participation. Experience
is a powerful teacher. On the job, it can be costly to learn from
mistakes, but in the classroom, this valuable learning
methodology carries far less risk. That’s what makes
experiential learning so effective!
Using structured experiences designed to accurately reflect
situations in the workplace, participants first learn by doing
and then further their understanding by examining ways they
could have been more effective. Powerful learning emerges in
the debrief when we link their experiences to their real-world
situations. People see, understand and internalize how their
own behaviour can change to significantly and positively impact their performance back at work.
Currently, we offer two acclaimed experiential learning sessions:
| Gold of the Desert Kings™ |
Teams rush to compete against each other in this challenging race across the desert. Their goal?
Battle the elements to get to the mountains to mine for as much gold as possible and return home alive.
Teams are forced to be as productive as possible with limited time and resources. Participants will
experience the benefits of teamwork, planning, setting goals and taking necessary risks.
Gold of the Desert Kings™ (GDK) highlights the issue of effort versus productivity. Participants are placed in circumstances with limited time and resources and must rely on their team to achieve their goals. The pressures and anxieties experienced in GDK are similar to those experienced daily in a hectic work schedule. Participants contend with deadlines, a perceived lack of resources, others’ points of view and the pressure to “just do something!” while trying to accomplish team objectives.
GDK addresses the following major competencies: Increasing productivity; Creating vision; Improving the decision making process; Managing change; Planning for success; and Achieving exceptional team results.
| Council of the Marble Star™ |
Participants will have the opportunity to take part in “The Challenge of Excelleron” exactly as it took place back in the days of Camelot. They will see how villagers became elite members of King Arthur’s court by competing, trading, negotiating and working together. Experiencing the challenges and rewards of real win-win negotiating, participants will learn how to achieve best results through productive relationships.
Council of the Marble Star™ highlights the issues surrounding personal effectiveness. Participants take responsibility for producing quality results in the midst of uncertainty, lack of direction, competition and a changing environment. While some teams focus solely on results, others socialise and lose the focus of achieving a productive outcome. The experience teaches that combining the skills of being productive with the skills of building and maintaining relationships creates a competitive edge that leads to success.
Council of the Marble Star™ addresses the following major competencies: Building strong, productive relationships; Learning to empower others; Negotiating successfully; Increasing leadership and sales effectiveness; and Mastering and influencing culture.
