Training of Trainers
The METALOG® Method integrates experiential learning strategies into a systemic and solution-oriented approach. The METALOG® Method allows (learning-) teams to discover at firsthand how they truly interact with each other. Through playful yet challenging settings, the METALOG® Method unravels the interpersonal and emotional layers of team interaction, authentically reflecting the systems in which the teams operate in their working lives. This systemic and solutions-oriented approach gives teams the space to explore how they perceive themselves and each other in order to improve their communication strategies and hence collaborate more effectively.
