Experiential learning

Experiential learning: learning by doing
Experiential learning: learning by doing

Experiential learning means that you learn a skill by doing it, not by listening to it for a day. You practise in situations that look like your work, share experiences with the group and take away what sticks. This way, a training course becomes different behaviour, not a memory.

Do you recognise this?

You attended a training course with good intentions and after two weeks everything is back to how it was. Perhaps because:

  • the day consisted mostly of lectures, causing your attention to drift;
  • there was a lot of theory and little time to practise;
  • the examples were disconnected from your real work.

That is rarely your fault. Learning sticks when your senses, emotions and mind participate.

This is how experiential learning works

You practise real situations

We work with simulations, cases, role plays and interactive methods. You step into the shoes of a decision maker, take on challenges and experience for yourself what your choices bring about.

You learn with and from the group

You work together, brainstorm and sharpen your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our coaches give feedback in a safe environment, where you can take risks, learn from what goes wrong and celebrate successes.

You keep learning after the training

What you learn does not disappear after the last session. In the Learning Space you will find your materials and you can continue practising with an AI Coach who knows the lesson.

Where can you apply it immediately?

Experiential learning is in every training course by The House of Coaching. Choose a domain: interpersonal skills, cognitive skills, digital skills or self-leadership.

Frequently asked questions

What is experiential learning?

You learn by doing. Instead of lectures, you work with simulations, cases, role plays and interactive activities that look like real situations. You share experiences with the group and get feedback from our coaches, so you immediately see what works.

What is the difference with a classic training course?

A classic training course mainly provides knowledge. With experiential learning, you apply that knowledge immediately, in situations that look like your work. This way you remember it better and you take new behaviour back to your team faster.

Who is experiential learning for?

For leaders, managers, business leaders and entrepreneurs, and for their teams. Our coaches adapt the method to the group, so you do not end up with a standard training course, even if your team is very diverse.

Does the learning continue after the training?

Yes. Your materials remain available in the THOC Learning Space, together with an AI Coach who knows the lesson. You can continue practising there at your own pace, alone or with your team.

How much does an experiential training course cost?

That depends on the theme, the duration and the group. That is why we work tailor-made: request a quote and we will come back with a proposal.
