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. ...

Develop effective coaching skills for managers and leaders by using Visual Explorer metaphor cards to generate rich discussion, innovation, and creativity in one-to-one coaching sessions.
Developed by one of the top-ranked providers of executive education, Centre for Creative Leadership (CCL), Visual Explorer can also be used in larger groups due to the size of the images as a team development exercise for action planning, change management, and goal setting.
Different sizes are also available: Letter Sized and Post Card Sized packs.
Visual Explorer is best used when a situation is complex and has unknown elements and hidden assumptions. It is especially useful when there are a variety of perspectives involved and a number of social boundaries to be spanned.
The Playing Card sized cards work well on any size of group up to 16 but are most effective with more intimate groups and in one-on-one situations. The minimum time allowed for the activity should be 60-90 minutes.
For larger groups, consider the larger Visual Explorer cards; Letter Size and Postcard Size.
Participants are informed of a framing question by the facilitator, such as ‘How are we creative as a team?’ or ‘What could we improve as a team?’, and instructed to browse the cards in silence until they find one that they feel relates to their answer or reaction to the question asked. Facilitators should allow 10 minutes of browsing time.
Individuals, pairs or small groups of 3-5 people should be formed and each participant should take at least 10 minutes to quietly observe, reflect on their image and consider their responses to the question before they share with the rest of the group why they feel their image answers the question of the session. Five minutes should be allocated to each person for the introductory discussion on their image. Extended time should then be taken for the group to converse about each other's images.
The facilitator guide can also be applied to any image based metaphor activity.
