Experiential learning has become the gold standard for engaging, high-impact learning. But what separates a fun team activity from a truly transformational experience? In this interactive session, you will explore four powerful—but often overlooked—design strategies that deepen impact and improve learning transfer. We’ll examine how metaphor, multi-sensory engagement, social interaction, and productive failure turn mere fun activities into meaningful learning experiences that build real-world skills, shift behavior, and strengthen teams. You will leave with practical ways to apply these principles and a fresh new perspective on what great learning design can look like.
