What Is “The Experience”?

Adults learn best by doing, and “The Experience” is all about doing.  Participants spend three days assessing, understanding, applying and learning all about their leadership qualities – the strengths and the weaknesses.  They, as leaders in their organization, will face challenges on “The Experience” related to Vision, Alignment, and Execution – the work of all successful leaders.  

In a series of team activities, participants are placed in personally challenging situations where their capabilities as leaders are tested and proven.  Participants leave “The Experience” with a new realization of their own leadership skill set and a plan of action for enhancement.

Who Should Attend “The Experience”?

Every manager, director, and C-level executive in the organization should attend “The Experience”.  High potential employees are perfect candidates for “The Experience” since in the near future – they will be leading teams.

In addition, due to the nature of the team activities, intact groups gain great benefit in the team building and leadership understanding – transforming them into a more effective and productive unit.
