It can be tricky to convince your boss to take a chance on a new kind of training. But there are some good reasons why top businesses around the world are investing in experiential learning…
Experiential training, or learning by doing, has always been a great way to pick up new skills. Whether you’re trying to become a better leader, give more constructive feedback, manage your time better, or even just learning how to swim – theoretical learning can only take you so far.
One of the best ways to learn a new skill is to get your hands dirty, and try things for yourself.
And while there are certain professions that require lots of academic knowledge, most business skills can be learned through action. In fact, according the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employees are more likely to engage with training that is interactive, and remember skills they learn if they’re given the chance to practice them.
So how to do you convince your boss to take a chance on experiential learning? Listen to this 20-minute podcast episode of “Outback Team Building & Training Tips” to find out.
