Our Story
CDI started in Africa
on an exhausting bumpy dirt road, somewhere in the middle of nowhere…
As I sat next to my fellow traveler, a Fortune 100 executive, we laughed about how far away he was from corporate America and its creature comforts. We also discussed the multiple occasions for deep personal learning, especially the organic, real team-building opportunities during a challenging, albeit impactful trip.
Travel creates a unique container for personal and group development, and I laughingly imagined bringing an entire corporate team to this complex and endearing place to serve others in the middle of nowhere. Soon though, I became excited and pretty animated around all the positive change it could create while living a fantastic adventure!
So today, I am proud to welcome you to Noble Adventures, a transformational leadership development experience unlike any other in the world.
We have combined instructional design principles, the richness and depth of values-centered leadership, and the latest research on teaming. Each participant’s personal stories create a holistic and transformational leadership development experience as they can focus on themselves and their growth for an entire week.
This groundbreaking leadership experience is tailor-made for executives and leaders who understand the power of action-based learning. We combine intense leadership challenges with real-world projects that create tangible good in the world.
