A central focus of our training programs is how we facilitate the process. Our training is experiential. We always create an inclusive environment and two way learning relationship. We use relevant, realistic case studies, and have often heard from participants who usually don’t enjoy role plays – that our enjoyed the opportunity to practice using the skills they’ve learned.
Knowledge results from the combinations of grasping and transforming experience.
