Why do we use nature and hiking as part of learning?
Honestly, because we love the outdoors and nature. But this is not it.
We do use nature as a venue for training when available and we can see the positive impact it has on learning and team dynamics.
Nature becomes a natural experience and an additional stimulus to experience each other in a less simulated environment.
Those, who are eager to have science-based proof, have a look at:
Attention Restoration Theory (ART)
Biophilia Hypothesis
Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku)
What to expect?
Location
This year we chose RIZE in Turkey for our meeting. Why? Turkey is easily accessible from different parts of the world and Rize is a hidden treasure of the country.
While many tourists go to Antalia or Istanbul, Rize allows you to experience the REAL Turkey. Our vision is that with this Global Consultants Community, you get to meet great people AND travel to amazing places globally for annual face-to-face meetings.
Our team
We first met 20 years ago during a Student Exchange Project, where Berat led the way as a facilitator. Now, we find ourselves working together again on this project because we share the goal of connecting professionals like us to a stronger network.
