CREATING EXPERIENCE THAT FOSTERS LEARNING
General Raymond E. Johns, Jr.
U.S. Air Force, Retired and CAP Senior Member
General Johns will examine how experience can be cultivated. An intentionally designed, sequenced, and programmed experience can create a unique opportunity, which, when processed and debriefed/reflected on, can lead to a shared opportunity for growth and development. How can we as leaders build intentional experiences?
