Our approach to learning
Experience powerful and interactive education, with discussions and partnership to discover and apply learning.
To help you and your teams find new ways of doing business we use innovative and proven teaching methods including goal setting, programme design, instructional methodologies, case analysis, peer interaction and teamwork, and hands-on implementation.
You will see an immediate impact and a long-term difference too. Delegates will leave their programme with the leadership skills they need to position your organisation for ongoing success.
Our key principles for teaching
Enhancing self-awareness
Greater self-awareness and understanding help people lead and manage successfully. We use a range of activities in and out of the classroom to develop greater self-insight in our delegates.
Reinforcing crucial interpersonal skills
Well-developed and honed 'soft skills' are fundamental to leadership success. We create plenty of opportunities for learners to develop that side of themselves – building the empathy, emotional control, resilience, self-confidence and self-management so they can step up to the challenges of managing and leading others successfully.
A dynamic learning culture
Most programmes take place at our Loughborough or London campus, but we can sometimes base a learning module at a delegate’s workplace. Whatever the location, we have clear learning codes of conduct to ensure delegates have the time and space to step back from their daily responsibilities to reflect, rethink and reassess critical industry and organisational issues.
Enabling interaction
Our programmes are designed to encourage interaction and discussion. By working and learning together, participants develop a shared language and understanding of their organisation’s mission, values, business, challenges and opportunities. This sense of camaraderie helps build professional and personal networks based on trust, communication and collaboration.
Supporting and creating professional and personal networks
Participants can use our virtual learning platform to enhance their relationships with people from similar or other industries, challenging their own mindsets as they go, and overcoming personal barriers to achieve their goals.
Sharing best practice
Through a range of learning tools, we empower students to apply the new knowledge, concepts and innovative approaches they have experienced on the course back at their own workplace.
Ongoing reflection and goal setting
We go beyond coaching delegates in new skills. We make sure that the learning they gain has a tangible impact beyond the programme, and provide online materials and activities to make sure this happens.
Extracurricular engagement
Where possible and relevant, delegates take part in extracurricular activities and events which tap into Loughborough’s areas of expertise. This ranges from sporting activities run by world-class athletes and coaches, to masterclasses with our renowned academics or industry leaders from our alumni network.
