Ep.4 Alchemy Part 2: The Experiential Learning Approach

Across 3 episodes in season 4, Katie talks with master coach Lori Shook about  Alchemy: The Art and Science of co-facilitation. Based on ORSC concepts the alchemy approach was designed to help pairs create magical co-deliveries, whether they be co-coaching, co-facilitating, or co-parenting! ​Magical co-facilitation, inspired participants, deep learning – these things don’t just happen. However, you can learn the tools and techniques that can help you and your partner to consistently and intentionally create successful, transformative, high-impact learning experiences together. In part 2 we explore the experiential learning approach. Across this conversation we discuss: 

• How people learn
• Setting the context and getting by in
• The importance of debriefing and finding applications
• The power of properly on-ramping and off-ramping people in and out of exercises
