The best version of you seldom emerges when tied to a chair in a classroom.
We believe in human-centered learning to drive lasting change. As such we develop experiential platforms for high-performing managers and leaders to experience maximum originality and sustainability in their personal and professional growth journey.
The Nour Group Learning Expeditions begins with a design process to really understand our client’s desired outcomes and the profile/expectations of the participants. From there, we develop and deliver highly experiential programs, combined with a new skill to navigate natural surroundings.
Imagine your team of professionals learning to fly fish stunning private waters, raft challenging rivers, backpack beautiful mountains, while embracing evolutionary leadership skills, knowledge, and behaviors.
Imagine your team at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), SxSW, or several other innovative events, where they’re asked to explore, inquire, experiment and return to share their experiences.
How dramatically different would their takeaways be vs. stuck in a hotel room or a training facility for days at a time.
Imagine training and development orchestrated like theater with Before-During-After phases, designed to transform individuals, teams, and organizations to rethink, reimagine, if not reinvent key parts of their business.
From learning sprints and expeditions, we get learners out – of their office, their environment, their comfort zone. In our experience no real learning or growth comes from a place of comfort.
And the key to organizational transformation and personal reinvention are experiences and exchanges, reflection, and applications.
This is non-linear growth and what drives us to educate high performing, high potential managers and leaders.
Every experience is unique and customized to your aspirations:
Reinforce Your Unique Selling Proposition
We’ve never seen miracles emerge from training events. At best, most introduce an idea. And the participants return to their respective roles, and mounting workloads to get caught up. And revert to all that they were doing before the training event. The binders go on a shelf, the worksheets in folders, and the key ideas to learn, grow, and evolve, are all but forgotten.
That’s why at The Nour Group, we believe there is a better way. Welcome to Learning Expeditions – a highly immersive and experiential learning journey from now to next.
The Nour Group Learning Expeditions for Individuals incorporates our team's love of nature, thought leadership from best-selling books, and global advisory engagements with world-class clients into unparalleled immersive experiences.
Our professional development courses are designed for busy, working professionals, looking for unique experiences to elevate their skills and remain relevant in the post-pandemic world.
The Nour Group topics are evergreen and blend learning a new skill with the journey from now to next and become the best version of you.
A Nour Group custom program is designed to meet your organization's unique goals, challenges and opportunities. We develop adaptive leaders, sharpen individual resilience, and amplify team health.
Each custom program has its own hand-selected team of distinguished faculty experts, experienced practitioners, and advisors. The Nour Group consistently creates world-class leadership training and development programs for global clients. Bring that transformative power to your organization.
