What's the right setting for delivering Experiential Learning content?
In the blog I wrote last month I tried to address some of the assumptions about experiential learning that seem to be getting in the way of people including elements of this approach in their programming. It seems that the most pervasive of these assumptions is about the physical spaces that are needed to deliver effective experiential content. To ...

Are your assumptions about Experiential Learning getting in the way of a breakthrough in performance?
My friend and colleague Graham Cook is heading to Florida later this month where he'll be delivering a session at Training Magazine's 'Training 2024' conference and exhibition. His session is titled 'How to Design Behavioral Change Using Experiential Learning Activities'. I'm not going to be alongside him for this conference but that doesn't mean I...

Continuous Professional Development for Focused Experiential Learning
Most good trainers and facilitators I meet tend to have a strongly developed intuition about the needs of others. It doesn't take long for them to get to understand what will help a student to learn, and how learning material needs to be presented to make it easier for that learning to take place. As these trainers and facilitators become more ...

What's The Best Seasonal Gift You Could Give?
It’s a question I often read around this time of year, and it inevitably provokes responses from extremes of opinion. There are those who go full-on consumerist and suggest expensive cars, jewellery, homes etc, ideas that are balanced by those who reject these ideas and suggest good health, happiness, close family etc.
So, as I&rsquo...

How do facilitators work with groups who have had an 'easy win'?
There were some interesting responses to last month’s blog which considered how to handle a session where your group are unsuccessful at completing the experiential task you have set them. For some people this was accepted as very sound advice, and it seems to have taken away some of the ‘fear of failure’ that was out there. ...

The Outdoor Pack covers a wide range of learning objectives, from team building, leadership, communication, and problem solving skills, and individual activities are discounted when purchasing them together in this package.
Webmaster explores how participants work together in an organised, and effective manner under pressure to solve a problem. This seemingly ‘easy’ task quickly becomes demanding as participants need to use effective communication and planning and monitoring to adhere to the time frame to improve their performance.
This is a flexible activity that can be used to practice or attempt many managerial, leadership, change, or project management skills, and other team tasks. It is an ideal activity to be used in repeated, short duration throughout a ‘theory intensive’ programme.
Helium stick is a fun but challenging opening activity to any program that is looking at team development! It is an excellent icebreaker and can be set-up and run anywhere there is space for a team to stand together. This version is extremely portable - packed away it is just 15" long, yet opens out to 12ft!
Keypunch is a group team building, strategic thinking and problem solving activity, where participants need to touch numbered markers in numerical order within 30 seconds, and with other limiting factors.
This activity offers two options that allow for use in various spaces. The simple choice of working with a 2-section or a 3-section construction means that tight spaces can be used, or large spaces can be exploited. Teams have to work out how to assemble a set of coloured metal and rope components in order to make a structure identical to the black and white design pattern they have been given, and there is only one solution. Once the structure has been built a strategy needs to be developed in order to allow the team to disassemble the structure and rebuild it in a two minute time-trial.
Participants must work together to manipulate a series of balls through a labyrinth. The labyrinth board is held off of the ground by strings all around the board, by each player, and the ball is manipulated purely by the forces exerted through each string. A great activity for getting a group to begin exploring the components of teamwork, and to embark on first experiments in how changing those components can produce different results.
Helium stick is a very simple, but powerful activity that helps a group to explore what to do when things don’t go quite as well as intended! It is an excellent icebreaker in teamwork / teambuilding events and can be set-up and run anywhere there is space for a team to stand together.
In Keypunch, 30 randomly placed, numbered markers must be touched in order by participants in a marked out area of approximately 23ft x 23ft. This requires a team to set up and refine a task process, in order to be able to deliver excellent team performance under time pressure. There is a physical element to the task but this can be minimized by ‘working smart’ rather than ‘working hard’.
