Our Approach
- Assessing and Understanding the Client
Assessing and understanding the client's need is crucial to developing a relevant and effective intervention. Gareth meets the client up front, engaging in a comprehensive interview process. He partners with the client to develop strategy and create buy-in.
- Harnessing Individuals' Differences and Strengths
Fundamental to all of the consulting initiatives of Gareth Wood Associates is the belief that key to moving the organization forward is harnessing the differences and strengths within individuals, in order to build a foundation of collaboration and cooperation. Believing in the power of people, Gareth helps individuals recognize their unique contribution to the team and the organization, building trust and alignment of purpose.
- Incorporating a Variety of Adult-Learning Tools
We place great value in responding to different learning styles by using a wide variety of adult-learning tools. Incorporating current business improvement theory, action learning and facilitated reflection, Gareth ensures the experience will be engaging, practical, memorable and safe; both physically and emotionally.
A leader in experiential learning, Gareth Wood Associates often uses problem-solving team challenges, both indoor and outdoor, that are custom designed to address individual learning needs and company challenges. Each team challenge provides participants the opportunity to take intellectual and behavioral risks while accommodating all levels of physical capability (and possible disabilities), ensuring the highest standards of physical and emotional safety.
Facilitating rather than Teaching
Gareth sees himself as a facilitator or coach rather than a teacher. There are many programs that can "give the participant confidence" or "build camaraderie". However, to ensure real learnings that are valid and can be transferred to the work environment requires a high degree of facilitation and coaching.
Successful learning requires thorough debriefing and linking to the workplace. If experiential challenges are designed to reflect every day work situations, generate real feelings, responses and behaviors,and are skillfully debriefed by way of guided inquiry, participants smack foreheads with the palm of their hand and utter those magic words for the facilitator - "I see this situation every day!" or "This is exactly what happens at work!". Guided discussion further identifies new actions and behaviors that must become the norm of continuous improvement and modeled on a daily basis.
Finally, to avoid being seen as the "program of the month", Gareth believes each intervention must be seen as part of a client's journey. Follow-up is critical to ensure long-term effectiveness of all learnings.
