Professional Development

Recognise your strengths, weaknesses, preferred communication style and those of your teammates. Learn the importance of different roles within your team and how to harness their diverse opinions and methods to move forward as a cohesive unit striving to attain the same goal.

Professional Development, post COVID, is about your team being cohesive and productive in the workplace again. How do you build or rebuild a high-functioning unit after they’ve all sat in the home office in tracksuit pants meeting over Zoom for a year?

Well, Outward Bound focuses on emotional and social intelligence. We specialise in the key development areas of:

  • fostering peer relationships and support
    • effective and constructive collaboration
    • team awareness
  • communication, influence and negotiation skills
    • giving and receiving feedback
    • managing conflict
    • coaching
  • developing greater understanding of challenges and opportunities relating to your role
  • enhancing leadership capacity
    • self-awareness
    • self-management

Why Experiential Learning for Professional Development?
People relate to people, objects and concepts, in that order. It’s harder for people to grasp concepts quickly. Experiential learning demonstrates concepts and the behaviours associated with them making the connections at a neural level. It enables people’s minds and bodies understand concepts better.

In this way, Outward Bound professional development courses teach skills you can't learn from a book, classroom or boardroom, including:
  • Communication
  • Lateral and critical thinking
  • Adaptive management
  • Compassion
  • Empathy and motivation to help others
  • Teamwork
