On The Mark, The Learning Experience Company

On the Mark's Experiential Learning programs offer powerful solutions to real life business challenges and opportunities. We will work with you to select - or design - the program that addresses the issues you need resolved.

Quite simply, you will always learn by doing with an
On the Mark Learning Experience. We create safe environments that simulate real-world opportunities and challenges. Participants are encouraged to act as they normally would and are given opportunities to step back from the situation, examine their actions, and figure out what "works" for them. Participants learn and practice new skills they can apply to their work and personal lives. On the Mark changes how people work with Learning Experiences that:

In all On the Mark Learning Experiences, you will:

Learn*Practice*Apply to ensure that the motivation, lessons and skills stick.

Learn - It's not a game. Through ongoing debriefing, participants dissect what is happening and identify where they need to improve their performance.

Practice - You get more than theory. Lasting behavior change requires practice. On the Mark's learning experiences aren't "gotcha's" - they provide opportunities to learn and practice new skills.

Apply - On the Mark's Experiential Learning Programs are about impact. Experiential learning is fun, but we make it clear that the experience is about impacting real-world productivity.

We strategically introduce language in our Learning Experiences so it becomes a common language among the participants and "lives" with them back at work. Living Language continues to bring life to the program learning within your organization. When used effectively, learning retention is increased, communication becomes more effective and understanding is dramatically improved.

Living Language created from some of the On the Mark programs:

What's Possible?

What's Possible?: A mindset that enables breakthroughs
Consequence-Based Thinking: A focused way to approach decisions that yield unprecedented results
Unlearning: Abandon the thinking that does not serve the outcomes you want
Situation-Decision-Consequence: The model that is the basis for What's Possible? thinking

Sponsorship: An environment where participants are invested in developing high performance outcomes for stakeholders.
The Fourth Boat: Sometimes long-term results require short-term sacrifices. Sometimes you have to choose to be "the fourth boat" to create "sponsorship".
"Change the Course!": We can feel victimized by change, or we can be proactive and use it to our advantage.

Get into their House: The ability to get into someone else's frame of reference - or to see something from someone else's perspective.
Tapping in: Becoming individually proactive in moving any endeavor toward success.
Common Language: Language that facilitates true ease and understanding for the communicators.
Providing the Big Picture: Providing context and understanding from the broadest perspective.
