In this leadership programme, experiential learning takes centre stage. No traditional training room, but the outdoors as an active learning environment. Learning happens through doing, reflecting, giving and receiving feedback. Participants switch roles, collaborate on group assignments, and deepen their leadership insights in a realistic setting.

‍

We consciously choose nature as the context, for a one- or two-day experience. The environment invites slowing down, openness and connection. Think of locations like the Kalmthoutse Heide, Zwin nature reserve in Knokke, or La Roche in the Belgian Ardennes. A location tailored to your region is also possible. For those seeking more adventure: we can include packrafting or ice baths to add physical and mental challenges that strengthen the learning experience.

The group organises itself: route, timing, task division and collaboration are in the hands of the participants. Better Minds facilitates the process and enriches it where needed with evidence- and practice-based frameworks. Even during transitions, participants engage in pair-based exercises and coaching reflection questions.

Possible content themes include (non-exhaustive):
• The importance of clear goals
• Team development stages
• Building trust between team members
• Creating a climate of psychological safety
• Taking on different leadership roles
• Systems and structures behind team dynamics
• When to switch between manager, leader and coach roles

Later in the programme, we organise a facilitated peer learning session. Participants bring in their own case or action point. Better Minds guides the process and supports it with in-depth models and targeted practice in interventions.
