Leadership Development Training Programmes
In this day and age effective leadership is vital to the success of any busin
ess or organization. Good leaders have a direct influence on employee satisfaction and a company’s bottom line and it is therefore critical that organisations develop the leaders to their full potential. The outdoors provides an excellent background for leadership development training in the qualities needed to deal with a business world where this is much change and uncertainty.
For a number of years Call of the Wild, with its unique base in the Brecon Beacons National Park, has developed leadership development training programmes which combine experiential learning with unique and stimulating challenges. We know for a fact that leadership development within this context of the unknown has very positive benefits in today's dynamic and unpredictable workplaces where very often managers are required to make important decisions where the solutions are not always clear cut.
Call of the Wild Across the UK
Though our main base lies within the Brecon Beacons, we are also flexible enough to be able to deliver our programmes across the UK. As an example we have delivered courses over the past year to companies and organisations across the UK from London, the Peaks and North Wales to Cannock Chase (Birmingham), the Lake District and Devon.

Our Approach
We recognise that learning and experience are very personal. So rather than impose prescriptive courses we will be using active experiential learning for leadership courses.
Our approach to leadership development training is based on the 'learning by doing' method - experiential learning. Our leadership development courses provide an opportunity for managers to identify and develop leadership skills in an environment where they can safely explore their own leadership methods and styles. Leadership training delegates learn from both their successes and mistakes and have feedback that will improve their performance both as a manager and leader when back in the workplace.
We will tailor each leadership development course to the specific needs of our clients matching the content to the specified outcomes.That is why we spend time with our clients beforehand in order to identify your company’s objectives and the personal goals of your managers. From this we can build customized programmes which blend outdoor tasks with our specialised leadership methodology. When combined with feedback and facilitation from our trainers, this creates a powerful method of transferring learning and development back to the work environment.
