The Many Faces of Action Learning -- An Introduction to Innovative Approaches (in-person or virtual)

Description of the Workshop1.4 CEU

The Many Faces of Action Learning -- An Introduction to Innovative ApproachesAction Learning is used around the world as an innovative, yet powerful and practical approach to address problems and opportunities for individuals, teams and organizations. The process can be customized for a wide variety of outcomes and applications.

This interactive workshop orients participants to the general Action Learning process, variations of the process, different applications and outcomes, and how each can be applied.

The workshop is very useful to learning and development professionals, including those in human resources, training and development, organization development, and leadership and management. Participants might go on to add Action Learning facilitation to their portfolio of skills, making them even more marketable to their organizations and potential clients (we can help with that training, too).

This workshop can be customized according to the nature and needs of participants, including to any pre-existing Action Learning, coaching or facilitation expertise. It also can be provided in-person or virtually.

Certificate and CEUs

NOTE: There is no independent "certification" organization in the field of Action Learning, for example, like the independent International Coach Federation is for the profession of personal and professional coaching. "Independent" means that the certification organization does not concurrently promote and provide certification on its own particular model of Action Learning, while suggesting that it concurrently is the certification organization of other and different models.

(The phrase "The Many Faces of Action Learning" was previously used as the title of an article by Victoria J. Marsick and Judy O'Neil, in "Management Learning", 1999 30:159.)

" Chuck [of Appleby & Associates], I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated the way you facilitated. You were enthusiastic, interesting, respectful, present, flexible, open and eminently practical. I am a professional facilitator too, and I think I recognize an excellent job when I see one. Well done! And I can see it all comes from the person that you are. Thank you for an engaging and energizing experience."
