Why is Experiential Learning so Important in Talent Development Initiatives?

Experiential learning combines immersive activities that mimic real-world challenges with a targeted debrief that connects the lessons learned with the reality of the workplace. It allows participants to learn by doing, and not by just listening, reading, or watching. Because they have personally experienced the results that come with applying their existing skills (both successes and failures) they are more inclined to do things differently next time. New competencies are developed, more information is retained, and individuals are more likely to enthusiastically apply their new knowledge to their real world back on the job.

Why Choose Us

Not Your Ordinary Experience

An engaging, immersive experience pulls participants out of the daily grind. Most of the time they're so busy having fun working together to overcome a challenge, that they're not even aware that they are learning valuable new skills that directly relate to their reality at work. This is because the use of a well-crafted metaphor allows participants to test new skills and behaviors in a safe setting outside of typical workplace scenarios.
Expect the Unexpected

An accelerated timeline allows people to quickly see the results of their actions, make corrections, and learn from their mistakes and successes. At the end, a facilitated debrief links the lessons learned in the experience to situations in the workplace. Participants can see how their new skills can be applied in the situations they experience on a daily basis.
Dynamic Facilitators Bring Learning to Life

Our facilitators are professionally certified by Eagle’s Flight to recognize which skills and abilities need more attention during the experience, as many programs support multiple training goals. They will subtly guide a discussion to ensure all your key outcomes are met. To do this, they need familiarity with the group dynamics and team challenges, as well as sufficient knowledge of your organization, and the terminology you use to encourage an informed discussion that ties back to your work reality.
Customization and Delivery Options

Regardless of the level of customization or consultation required to ensure your training investment is a success, you will be able to rest easy with our in-house team of consultants, designers and facilitators.
