These are the 6 propositions of experiential learning: 1️⃣ A learning outcome is not the endpoint but a milestone of an ongoing learning process. 2️⃣ As we learn new ideas, we also modify and dispose of old ones. 3️⃣ Effective learners are capable of balancing opposing models of the learning cycle. 4️⃣ Learning never ends, it is continuous. 5️⃣ When learners and the environment interact, both are changed, we do not simply respond to the environment, we co-create it to meet out needs. 6️⃣ Every field requires unique skills and a special learning process. And at the core of it all learning? Unexpected events & consequences... Change 🔥 #development #quote #learning #experiential

Struggling with motivation, creativity, inspiration, burnout, or mindsets? 🙁 You're not alone! In fact some of the best minds in history have struggled with similar emotions and circumstances... Luckily for us, many of them have also written books with solutions to these (sometimes) complex problems 🤗 Get cozy this September time with some of our favourite books highlighted below 👇 Not sure which one to pick? Here's a short summary on each to help you choose: 1️⃣ Get Motivated with Simon Sinek and Start with Why - it doesn’t matter WHAT it is that you do, it matters WHY you do it. 2️⃣ Get creative with Mathew Syed and Black Box Thinking - Creative breakthroughs always begin with multiple failures. 3️⃣ Get inspired with Captain Marquet and the true leadership stories of nuclear-powered submarine, USS Santa Fe. 4️⃣ Avoid burnout with Richard Koch and the 80/20 principle - Achieve more sustainably in less time and with less stress. 5️⃣ Don’t get held back by previous circumstances with Claude Steiner and Scripts People Live - Change the story of your life. #simonsinek #syed #psychology #books #ceo #leadership #mindsets #motivation #control #burnout #inspiration #creativity

"Social resilience is not just the ability to bounce back from adversity, but to bounce forward into a stronger, more cohesive community." ➡ Social resilience equals competitive advantage. ➡ Productivity and innovation relies on people and teams to collaborate effectively with one another under pressure. ➡ Those teams who are more socially resilient than their competitive neighbours will learn and move on from adversity rather than becoming paralysed by it.

We host residential programmes every year for a company that we’ve worked with for over two decades... Every new group that joins the programme is asked to define what behaviour traits that effective leaders and team members present on the wall. Our latest group wrote what you see attached. ➡️ What should strike you: 📢 A leader must become a master of themselves not only in the way they drive results but also on an interpersonal level. 📢 Much of what makes a great leader or great team member is the same, and relies on how we behave and interact on a fundamentally human level. 📢 Behaviours like effective communication, transparency, proactiveness, motivation, and being able to cooperate are traits that are as valuable in the workplace as they are in our personal lives. This is why change and spontaneity is so vital to the learning experience. We change expectation, environment, and objectives to match the needs of our clients and mimic real-world problems, so that learning and development becomes a holistic experience. This is how you make training memorable rather than forgettable or god-forbid, average. #learning #development #leadership #challenge #apprentice #developmentprogrammes #residentials

This weeks apprentices have already completed many experiential exercises during their stay Newgale Lodge ! Yesterday morning, our consultants Mike Hopkins & Daniele Perchiazzi took them to Porthclais Harbour. Here, they took part in to tasks that we call 'Pyramids' & 'UXB'. In each task, a new leader is appointed to delegate and manage their team. In addition, we had team members partake as observers. In this role, they took notes about organisational, communication, & leadership skills that they did or didn't witness within the team. At the end of the tasks, the observers relayed their objective feedback to their own team first and then the next one, in order to influence better results in round 2.

'Real company values are shown by who gets rewarded, promoted, or let go' AND 'Real company values are the behaviours & skills that we value in our peers' Really, these quotes speak to one specific thing and that's embodiment. No two company cultures are exactly the same because different companies need to attract different types of people who can reflect their values. This means that values are not what's etched above the door when you walk in. They are a set of behaviours which everyone should be held accountable for - regardless of seniority. Netflix value nine specific behaviours and skills: Judgement, Communication, Impact, Curiosity, Innovation, Courage, Passion, Honesty, Selflessness. Below is a screenshot taken directly from the deck of what they really mean to the company. Use this case study to take inspiration or broaden your perspective on what types of behaviours should be valuable to your team & organisation. #organisation #values #culture #netflix #comparison #business #tips #2024 #inspo
