— Benjamin Franklin

What is experiential learning?

Experiential Learning is the process of learning by doing. By engaging people in hands-on experiences and reflection, they are better able to connect theories and knowledge learned to real-world situations.

Do you know?

  • The knowledge retention rate for employees who go through traditional learning is only five percent, whereas the retention rate from experiential learning can be as much as 90 percent.

  • Experiential learning bridges the gap between theory and practice. It serves as a metaphor for the challenges that participants face in the workplace.

  • According to a study published in the Journal of Experiential Education, students who participate in experiential learning activities demonstrate a 70% increase in knowledge retention compared to traditional learning methods.

  • We help you create workplace climates that people want to join and stay in. This means out-of-the-box thinking goes out the window! The key is in creating an attractive workplace that not only draws in top talent but also retains and nurtures your people over the long term. We can show you how.

    “The Bolder Company helps elevate relationships. This is the ‘stuff’ that makes people want to work at your organization – all different types of people – Learning about each other and how to trust each other. When people ask me how I am able to hire when nobody else can, it's this ‘stuff’.”

    “We can do all the technical training we want, but if we can't communicate, we’re stuck. The Bolder Company helps elevate communications and relationships in a company.”

  • Don't be vulnerable to leadership vacuums and talent shortages. Traditional succession plans tend to focus solely on building basic skills and experience, forgetting how developing interpersonal dynamics are crucial for leadership development and pipeline progression. This oversight can lead to heightened stress levels (yours, and your employees), decreased engagement, and ultimately hinder the long-term success of any succession strategies and leadership changes.

    By integrating emotional intelligence into the fabric of your succession planning program, The Bolder Company can help you to create a more compassionate and resilient workplace. This approach contributes to a positive organizational culture, fostering emotional well-being, and stronger team cohesion. Make your succession planning a surefire success.

    “The Bolder Company focuses on that human touch that no one gets training on, honestly. Their training sessions really help you understand better who you are, how you work, and how others do as well.”

  • Do you have team members that seem stuck in the past? Are you perhaps experiencing intergenerational conflict, or an inability of leaders to be innovative and feel empowered to think creatively? It could be a lack of confidence. So, how do we break free of imposter syndrome once and for all?

    We will work with you and your team to build strength and resilience, develop self-awareness, and build emotional intelligence in your current AND future leaders. This powerful combination of working at multiple levels ensures the continued success of teams and organizations, time and time again.

    “The Bolder Company helps you understand how emotional intelligence and empathy can play a really positive role in a business environment, to become a person that people want to work with again and again. Both as employees and as collaborators, clients, and consultants. That's extremely valuable."

  • We see it all the time … teams being asked to do more with less, often times at the expense of their stress levels, health, and work/life balance. We each have an average of eight hours a day, 40 hours a week to get work done and show progress against lofty business goals. But what do you do when you see your team approaching the breaking point?

    Press pause. Take a moment. Breathe. The Bolder Company has some suggestions to help. 

    We believe that laughter is medicine. By incorporating laughter into your workday, we help you break through the daily drudgery, alleviate stress, and create a more enjoyable work atmosphere. Our team-building activities use the power of improv and comedy to foster resilience, enhance creativity, and build stronger connections, providing a valuable antidote to the overworked.

    “The Bolder Company made our team session such that it wasn't a chore, although some people might have thought that when we started. But the moment someone cracks, even the smallest giggle, you know you've got them. By the end of the day everybody was belly laughing at the hijinks of the day. There's no better way to learn, absorb, and retain new tools.”

  • We help break people out of self-imposed silos, and connect individuals to themselves, to each other, and to the future of your organization. How does this happen? Our Emotional Intelligence training helps people develop a clearer sense of self, and how to better relate to others. And our Adaptability Quotient (AQ) training teaches team members ways to recover from setbacks, find alternative solutions to problems, and embrace change.

    Why is this important? It's about creating a positive and supportive work environment where team members respect and trust each other, and where conflicts are managed constructively. Important skills for at work AND in everyday life! '

    “These different tools are priceless. That's what made the training worth it.”

  • We get it. It’s complicated. Often we are stuck in place because we worry about taking the wrong first step. Digital transformation, mergers and acquisitions, employee satisfaction and retention, and cultivating a team culture are just some of the challenges all organizations face. But you don’t have to go it alone!

    Everyone has unique needs. And we can customize a program just for you and your team, AND walk beside you to implement improvements.

    “The Bolder Company assesses a client's needs for certain training topics, then they develop the curriculum, facilitate the curriculum, and evaluate the outcomes. It's really customized, one-on-one, tailored based on what the company needs.”
