Experiential Learning


Book Description

The impact of being part of a powerful experiential learning event can be transformative. It can alter how we see the world, how we interact with others, and how we approach our commitments. The learning continues long after the training. It often extends into our family, or off-work activities, perhaps with charities we support, or committees we sit on. What we've discovered for ourselves in the program are principles that we make our own, usually to benefit not only of ourselves, but also those around us, and with whom we work. In many ways the experience we went through is so 'real' in our minds that it's like we were actually there in person, not just in mind. If we - as those with the very heavy responsibility for shaping the behaviors of others through training - can achieve that, then we will truly have made a difference in the lives of others!
