What is The Leadership Experience @ Key West (The Experience)?

Experiential learning is the best method for adults to learn.  Provide them with some context, place them in a simulation and learning naturally occurs.  The Experience does just that – provides participants with context through an assessment called Work of Leaders - shows them how those leadership qualities have demonstrated themselves in history - through guided tour and discuss at the Truman Little White House and then places participants in a situation that requires the use of leadership abilities and skills – sailing a 105 foot Schooner America 2.0. 

Who Should Attend The Experience?
