| Sample Programme - Sailing-based leadership event |
|
| Here's an example itinerary from a typical event. Of course, no two events are the same and the options are limitless, based specifically on your development needs. This page does, however, give an indication of how an event might run. Once on board the boat of course, a multitude of eventualities will probably come along and blow your timetable to pieces and the participants will need to sort it out. But isn't that what happens in business? And that's why this is such a fantastic learning experience. |

We recommend that a follow-up workshop is scheduled after the event to consolidate the learning. We will be happy to design and facilitate this, or you may prefer to run something yourself based on the written post-event briefing that we produce. |
