What is Out Smart?

The Outsmart course is based around creating solutions to a series of mini-adventures.

You are encouraged to experience the challenge for themselves, and look for ways to adopt/adapt to suit your own situation.

We will examine; what it is to be an appreciative team? Can we promote it? Why would we want to?

What are the habits and dispositions we want to grow? What are the strengths we have now?

We will experience the benefits of combining the adventure with thoughtful solution focused strategies to foster a bridge between the challenge and everyday situations. Using the best of the stories we have, to create a new uplifting future for our team.

What skills do we need to facilitate a successful experience? We will look at the models that are useful for us, drawing on other disciplines to maximise the moments for ourselves. (Thinking tools/NLP/Enquiry/Visioning/Coaching etc)

How can we foster the reflective process? Can reflection be as active as the adventure? How can we encourage thinking to become visible?

In everything we do there is an element of risk. How can we manage it? How can we encourage our learners to manage it for themselves?
