Patagonia is a frontier of campos (ranches) hidden in isolated mountain valleys, ragged icy peaks, brawling rivers and cathedral fjords. This is a land that demands exploration, and you will experience its dramatic peaks, valleys and mysterious wilderness.
From our main base, a working farm of several hundred acres in the small town of Coyhaique, we do all of the planning and legwork to make your expedition into the wilderness an educational experience that lasts a lifetime.
The hallmarks of a NOLS Patagonia course are exploration, remoteness and tough weather. The weather in this part of the world is often unpredictable and challenging. However, these conditions help build resilience and tolerance for adversity and uncertainty—skills relevant in today's global economy.
The Patagonia Leadership Expedition is a 9-day field-based training for Kellogg School of Management students to practice the four main components of Kellogg’s leadership education:
-
Assessment and Feedback
-
Reflection and Planning
-
Knowledge and Insight
-
Experience and Action
There will be a strong focus on being a good adaptable team member: the ability to distinguish the roles of “team member” (active follower) and “team leader” (designated leader). You will have the opportunity to exercise individual decisiveness, while simultaneously facilitating great teamwork—skills seemingly at odds with each other.
This course will develop leadership through experiential learning (Kolb Learning Cycle – think, do, reflect). Curriculum delivery will concentrate on situational leadership skills applicable to school, business, and social lives as well as expeditionary settings.
On a wilderness expedition lessons are immediate, lasting, and applicable to your life—no matter what you do. We’ve found that successful expeditions require many of the same skills that are essential in the professional world, including effective communication, influencing others and strategically delivering results.
