AUSTRALIA’S #1 EXPERIENTIAL SOLUTION
We don’t train… we transform

At Outback Initiatives, we’ve been facilitating positive change through leadership and team development since 1995.

Our ability to customise the program duration and content to suit specific objectives means that you can be assured that our solutions align with your unique operational requirements and challenges.

Our proven process delivers the following outcomes:

  • Enhanced Leadership Skills: Through the direct leadership experiences in outdoor activities and scenario-based exercises, participants can develop and refine their leadership abilities in real-world-like situations. This is crucial for leaders, where effective leadership can greatly influence outcomes in critical situations.
  • Improved Team Dynamics: The focus on Task, Team, and Individual leadership fosters better team collaboration and communication. For organisations, where team cohesion can be a matter of success or failure in operations, this training can be invaluable.
  • Stress Management and Resilience Building: The physically and mentally challenging activities simulate high-pressure environments typical in dynamic organisations. This helps participants to build resilience and improve their stress management skills, essential for their demanding roles.
  • Adaptability and Problem-Solving Skills: The dynamic and unpredictable nature of training in unfamiliar outdoor-based scenarios encourages adaptability and quick thinking. These skills are critical for leaders who often face rapidly evolving and complex situations.
  • Enhanced Self-Awareness and Feedback Integration: The ‘activity-debrief-feedback’ model, culminating in a 360-degree feedback session, provides participants with insights into their strengths and areas for improvement. For leaders, such heightened self-awareness can lead to better decision-making and personal development.
  • Practical Application of Theoretical Concepts: By using the Kolb method of experiential learning, participants can apply theoretical leadership concepts in practical settings, enhancing their understanding and retention of these principles.

TAILORED SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY NEED

We provide outcomes-based consulting solutions as well as personal and professional development programs for both enterprise clients and solo participants.
