So many of our leadership workshops are still fairly traditional (workbook exercises, assessments and .ppt slides). There are more engaging and experiential ways to go. Over the last 20 years, Rich McLaughlin and his colleagues have taken effective Outward Bound type challenges and adapted them for indoor use with corporate groups.

Join experiential learning master Rich McLaughlin and master leadership trainer and coach Ken Blackwell for this hands on, interactive session. This workshop will demo a couple of their favorites and give attendees a chance to explore how to frame, execute and debrief these type of exercises for maximum effect.
This session will allow participants to engage in:
