223 - Demystifying Experiential Learning with Romy Alexandra

Romy Alexandra is a one-woman revolution in Experiential Learning, driven by a passion for turning dull events into genuinely memorable and long-lasting trainings.

Combining the principles of Experiential Learning with the ‘unconference’ tool of Open Space Technology, Romy is at the forefront of the interactive and collaborative learning space.

The way she brings disparate threads and dry content together, parsing them through her creative mind and powerful approaches, is a true marvel. 

Enjoy this episode and learn how Romy creates collaborative, emergent, effective training that puts ego aside and brings everybody together — and how you can, too.

Find out about:

• Why seeing learners as vessels is antithetical to effective training
• What Experiential Learning and Open Space Technology are and how Romy brings them together in her work
• Why a feeling of being ‘struck’ by new information is critical to making learning experiential
• How prioritising community and connection can make any course experiential
• Why co-creation is a byproduct of shared ownership and how to prioritise it
• Why Romy sees trainers as actors — role-changing, shape-shifting, performative stars
