Let’s start with the basics.
Experiential learning is a process through which people develop knowledge,
skills, and values from direct experiences outside of traditional methods,
often through hands-on approaches.
Experience-based learning is best
achieved through trust. The same trust that is established between employers
and leadership development consultants (LDC) must be extended to employees as
well.
At the foundation of that trust,
there must be must be honesty between all team players. Honest interaction
between the leadership development consultant, employers, and employees helps
to foster a more productive environment for experience-based learning. Before
the consultation, workplace issues and problems must be truthfully laid out for
the LDC.
With an in-depth knowledge of what a
company needs for internal development, a leadership development consultant can
effectively manage the experiential learning processes. Our specialized
consultations include approaches rooted in organizational behavior,
organizational development and expert facilitation. We also offer consultation
in strategic planning; vision, mission, and values development; and change
management.
Dr. Susan Cain (Ed. D., LCSW) asked
eight clients to give the reasons for their motivation to use our consulting
services. She grouped their responses together in the following list:
1. Our flexibility to coach in
person or by Skype or phone.
2. The high comfort level
(i.e., trust).
3. Our relaxed intimate
approach.
4. Honesty (“you understand me
when I need it.”)
5. Support material (we
maintain an extensive library of learning resources).
6. Direct application to work
These answers reflect the elements
of an effective consultation, and they should be present in the stages of the
process that a leadership development consultant prepares for the team in need
of assistance.
A main responsibility of an
effective LDC, like us, is to make sure that the objectives of every lesson,
taught to both the employer and employees, are clearly defined and explained.
There is no room for secrets in the process of helping a company strengthen and
further develop itself. As a premier leadership development consultant, we make
it a priority to ensure that each team player obtains and maintains long-term
benefits from their consultation and experiential learning experience.
