Foundations of Learning Experience Design

Leadership and management responsibilities have changed dramatically, particularly in the last decade. In order to be an effective manager in increasingly fast-paced and complex organizational environments, coaching has become essential. In this course, you will learn what coaching is and learn how to differentiate between it and all of the other myriad roles managers are expected to perform – managing, mentoring, leading, and training. You’ll learn about the importance of strong leadership and learn to describe your current point of view as a leader, and evaluate when to adjust your thinking in order to be more effective in managing and leading in a rapidly evolving workplace. And finally, you’ll be introduced to the Thought Model, a coaching technique you can use to develop better thinkers and better performers.

Training in the SALT/CLCP approach in an experiential programme that enrols participants who are linked with a group or a community in their immediate context to deepen and apply their understanding of the approach through a community activity.  The approach is designed to ​stimulate individuals and communities to take action through an approach (SALT) that appreciates strengths and fosters local ownership. In order to achieve ownership, people walk through a rigorous action-learning cycle called the Community Life Competence Process (CLCP).
