During the week at the workshop and certification you literally throw yourself into the Strategic Management topic. So, do not plan many evening outside events. You are here to learn in the evening too—it is a vital part of the intense immersion.

You sign up on Monday on what is your 2 or 3 most important desired learnings. Then, you facilitate an hour'­s discussion of each of them for all the other participants throughout the week (“Adults learn best by doing”).

In addition to your presentations, you also coach two other participants on their presentations—forcing you to learn a 3^rd-4^th topic more in-depth.

Thus, the Immersion starts on Monday and continues all week. In addition there will be periodic group facilitation sessions throughout the week to enhance your facilitation skills and tools—tips—techniques, no matter what level you are currently perfoming

We end at 1:00 P.M. on Friday with box lunches provided.

Question:  How do adults learn?

“Adults learn best by doing” —which is what the the week is all about. The participant facilitation process covers three areas:

#1.  The main three points of the topic (content).

#2.  The process and sequence of how to use it (process and back home implementation).

#3.  The 3 main issues and problems you might face.

Once these are presented and facilitated in 30 minutes by you, then the course instructors get involved for the next 20 minutes to ensure the correct learning and “tacit” knowledge of how it works in the real world is revealed and reinforced.

In the last five minutes of your session, you are fed back observation on your strengths and weaknesses of how you performed. No matter what your skill level, you get feedback to take you to the next higher skill level.

If you take notes on what the other nine Participant Facilitation topics are, then you have a tremendous comprehensive resource for back home implementation; reference and reinforced.
