Leadership
Residential leadership courses are demanding and intensive in order to challenge and stimulate in a co-operative environment. Participants are presented with unique problem-solving situations that develop skills transferable to the workplace: communication, co-operation, trust, conflict resolution, leadership influence and confidence.
The outdoor learning experience encourages full group participation and introduces powerful learning opportunities such as problem solving exercises and initiative tasks. Each activity takes account of team roles, group dynamics and learning styles in order to elicit discussion on key lessons such as mutual support and the importance of accurate information.
