187: The Power Of Experiential Leadership Development, With Matthew Confer

One of my all-time favorite sayings is: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. ” — Aristotle. Another one is more tongue-in-cheek, but just as powerful: "You can't learn to play soccer at a seminar. " —Anonymous. Both quotes make the point that learning is only a first step...we need to EXPERIENCE things to truly learn them well. Most of us would agree that we learn best by doing, but it is not always clear how to make it all come together for the successful development of organizational leaders.In this episode, we meet Matthew Confer, a leader whose organization has figured out the key to successful, experiential Leadership Development. Matthew is the VP of Strategy & Business Development at Abilitie, where he focuses on using team-based simulations in leadership programs to create a more interactive and effective learning environment for organizations. The best ways to connect with Matthew Confer online are:Company Website: https://www.abilitie.com/LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewconfer/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/matthewconferSpeaking: TedX—Before You DecideAbout the PROFITABLE HAPPINESS™ Podcast:In this podcast, we feature stories from highly successful Experts and Creative Entrepreneurs who exemplify the use of Profitable Happiness™ to build influence and business success.
