> Small groups: each group is comprised of between ten to twelve participants, depending on the host country, in order to ensure proper conditions for genuine individual development.
> Role plays and practical exercises: our teaching method stimulates self-knowledge, promotes awareness and leads to long-term behavioural change.
> Sequential: the training process involves 3-5 weeks’ application on the job between training days, allowing each participant to integrate the content long-term, and to take ownership of it in the form of new attitudes.
> Feedback: at the beginning of the day, each participant presents his or her feedback based on the concrete results achieved. The successes and/or difficulties are then analysed and commented upon, and the learning points transformed into a new action plan. The training day continues with new modules, according to the same process.
> The "blended" approach: before, during and after the training programme, the participant is asked to continue his or her learning process online to gather feedback from his or her colleagues with the 361°.
