Learning Approach
Second Base is a challenging, experiential learning programme. It uses facilitated coaching techniques and exercises that expose participants to learning opportunities to guide them to their own realisations. Second Base coaches guide participants to realise that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, but only when the "whole" works together effectively with aligned goals and realised values. With these principles in mind, the team-building activities are centred on establishing a shared value system and an alignment of purpose towards a social outcome. The challenging environment is selected as it efffectively strips participants of their academic reference points and enables people to get very real with themselves and others and see the power they have when contributing from this space.
