Qualified leaders are essential for safe outdoor experiences.
The right combination of leadership knowledge, skill, and attitude make all the difference.
The outdoor sector is stronger when businesses recruit, develop, and retain qualified, mission-driven leaders and adventure guides. We can help with succession planning, team development, recruitment strategies, screening protocols, and design orientation and on-boarding programs for your current and future teams.
Beyond the necessary technical skills, outdoor leaders need strong demonstrative core competencies like, program management, professional conduct, decision making, and communication. Having trained and worked with thousands of leaders in the field we understand how these competencies enhance the leader and client experience.
Recruitment and Retention
Recruitment and retention of leaders can be a significant investment of time and money. Effective targeted plans are critical. We will review or develop your strategies and tactical plans through a lens of best practice, competitive positioning, and cost effectiveness, and offer recommendations that can create the best possible teams.
BIPOC Inclusion
Businesses across the outdoor sector are committing resources and time to create more diverse, welcoming, inclusive programs and services for black, indigenous, and other persons of colour. We can assess your current human resource practices or client service delivery to offer strategies and tactics to achieve your equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) goals.
