Virtual Outward Bound Professional
Building Leadership for Lasting Change. Anytime, Anywhere.
We are in a new reality, with new challenges and opportunities for building high-functioning teams. Our remote programs can help you cultivate a supportive and empowering team culture grounded in camaraderie, communication, and collaboration at a time when teams need it most.
Outward Bound Professional's remote programs are custom-designed to meet your team’s specific goals and offer a global perspective on the diverse and emerging challenges organizations face today.
How We Work
Our programs are delivered in four phases:
Phase I: Assessment
We perform a thorough needs assessment of your team’s desired actionable outcomes and map out program scope, goals, and methodology. Assessments we use include 360° Feedback, Belbin, Emotional Intelligence, Myers-Briggs™, DiSC™ and Management Styles.
Phase II: Design
We work closely with clients to identify the best mix of activities for your goals and help set the tone for openness and participation. Our customized programs include a combination of experiential problem-solving activities, learning models, ropes courses, wilderness components, reflection tools, and academic materials, if appropriate.
Phase III: Delivery
Our highly-trained facilitators take participants through a series of challenges followed by artful debriefs that ask significant questions and produce memorable and transferable results.
Phase IV: Follow-Up
Through ongoing coaching and consultation, we work with you to ensure that key learnings and behavioral changes from our programs are being incorporated into your workplace culture.

Always Outward Bound
For over 70 years, Outward Bound has inspired character and team development through challenging outdoor experiences. At Outward Bound Professional, we’ve adapted our outdoor educational model to help teams develop the same ingenuity, resilience, confidence, and compassion as our student groups in the wilderness.
