There are a myriad of reasons why we become disengaged, but having been on both sides of the room, we've sat in events, watching people doodle their way through the day, watching the clock, wishing it to end.
"The disconnect between what is being trained and the relevance
to the individuals in the room should never be underestimated!"
This is why it's so important to make learning interesting, enjoyable, relevant but most of all transformative for everyone there.
Creating those light bulb moments where something finally clicks and you walk away thinking ‘now that was worth it!'
We built the Outlier Learning studio because we want to directly challenge those rinse & repeat approaches that tick boxes, disengage learners and are quickly forgotten once the day job kicks back in.
It's important to create space for real change that cuts through the noise, ensuring a real shift in understanding that is truly felt. A shift which you carry beyond the classroom and into ‘the real world’ when no one’s watching.
Not everything has to be revolutionary, but it does have to be authentic, personal and transformative. We believe everyone has the capacity to excel when they tap into their authentic self, not try to be someone they're not.
This is what gives you the confidence you need to succeed.
That’s why we design experiences that not only equip you with new skills and behaviours but also allow you to shed those old ones that
could be holding you and the business back.
Our approach blends diverse learning methodologies with a deep understanding of human behaviour, using relatable analogies, real world insights and a dynamic, engaging style to make complex ideas easy to understand and actionable.
