Your team or organisation can experience travel-based professional learning that is tailored to your needs and your timeframe. Learning organisations value such experiences, strengthening the team by creating shared memories and translating the learning experience into the design or strategy.
Once you have identified the focus, such as the physical design, pedagogy or leadership strategy, I will work with you to design a professional learning experience, whether it is in Australia, New Zealand, UK, Europe, Scandinavia or North America.
