The experience
Using the ACT framework, leaders navigate real-world, adventure-based communication challenges and discover how to influence and connect with others honestly, not through manipulation.
The ACT framework
Acknowledge reality.
Effective communication starts with empathy (understanding without needing to agree), active listening, and mirroring language to confirm understanding and build trust.
Choices.
Great communicators give others autonomy. Self-determination theory shows people are more motivated when they feel ownership over decisions. Nudge theory shows how to present options that guide without forcing.
Tell a story.
Stories are the most powerful tool to influence and inspire. Tap into intrinsic motivation and craft stories that are memorable, relatable and impactful.
Learning outcomes
Leaders master empathetic listening to build trust and connection, learn to structure choices that encourage autonomy and collaboration, and develop storytelling techniques that inspire action and align teams toward shared goals.
Who it's for
Leaders and teams who need to influence without authority, communicate through change, or build genuine buy-in rather than compliance. A strong fit for communication skills and leadership influence mandates.
