Building Life and Leadership by Choice
  Experiential Learning Workshops

All of ACI’s programs are experiential, so hands-on learning and activities are paramount. Participants use what they have learned before they complete the training—prior to resuming their busy lives.

Length of training

The team usually meets from a half a day to three days of experiential team learning and building, and one or two leaders/facilitators are assigned. Next, the participants receive tools and resources designed to meet the desired outcomes of the training.

Co-designed programs

Active Choices, Inc. co-designs programs with clients prior to the team learning component. Organizations can choose a focus that fits their needs and all existing programs can be modified to meet your unique needs. Clients often focus on areas such as:

  • Leadership development

  • Improving communication skills

  • Creating sustainable leadership

  • Balancing life and work

  • Building effective teams.

Learning Labs & Group Coaching (Follow Up to Workshops)

Follow-up options

ACI always recommends follow-up to all training provided, such as one-on-one coaching, group coaching or learning labs. Without follow-up, studies show that participants can forget what they’ve learned in as little as two weeks.

One-on-one coaching—Participants are assigned to a personal coach based on their desire for individualized work with a coach. The coach and client will address whichever areas are important to the client for creating sustainability and more powerful leadership in their lives. 

  • Coaching is scheduled on a regular basis, generally 2-3 times/month
  • Sessions are 30-60 minutes each
  • Sessions take place by phone, and with prior arrangement can be done on site
  • Gives the individual a safe unbiased place to explore and focus life and leadership
  • Deepen the learning from the program
  • Forward the action of the client to serve the client's goals
  • Reinforce creating sustainability for the client so as to create positive habits
  • Reduced stress, improved resiliency, improved engagement and fulfillment, and increased productivity are some of the common outcomes of one on one coaching.  

Group coaching—Participants are placed in groups of 3-5 to work together and elicit many of the benefits of one on one coaching - in a group setting. Benefits of group coaching are cost effectiveness and fostering a team relationship, while each participant learns from the others' experiences.

Learning lab—The assembled team meets again, this time from two to four weeks after the training session is complete. Labs are scheduled throughout the next quarter. Learning Lab Sessions:

  • Run from 75-120 minutes each

  • Lock in techniques learned earlier

  • Deepen relationships through group dialog and coaching

  • Allow participants to learn from experiences of others

  • Offer an opportunity support others

  • Reinforce use of tools from the workshop.

Cost of ACI’s programs

As each program is co-designed with the client, pricing varies and is based on the program length, preparation time, materials and expenses (if applicable) and participation. Upon completion of a needs assessment, ACI will submit a proposal for services detailing program logistics, outcomes and fees.
