Personal and professional development can be achieved in many ways. Scholars in the emerging field of ‘serious games’ argue that games, which allow people to ‘play’ while confronting challenges, are among the most effective kinds of activity for optimal human learning.
When people play they are creative, motivated, and collaborative. Aitken Leadership employs ‘leadership games’ that leverage this state of play into lasting personal and professional development.
ALG uses ‘games’ for professionals and executives that immerse participants in the core concepts and practices of Personal Mastery. These games are customized for every group, but include elements that may resemble ‘The Amazing Race’ or ‘Survivor’-style reality shows.
ALG’s games provide the narrative and structure necessary for an immersive learning experience. Player-participants experience and overcome individual and team obstacles that challenge every leadership capacity. Games range in length from a couple hours – played in the context of a longer leadership retreat – to month-long scenarios that are played in ‘real life’, with virtual and real world elements.
ALG Leadership Games facilitate personal breakthrough and professional skill-building.
