Summary of the overall design
Challenge as a theme: woven throughout the trip as a entry/mirror to reflect people’s values, goal, relationship, natural models for addressing challenges, areas for improvements
Link between ski and coaching: Skilling as a way to gather data points on how they achieve breakthrough and improvement areas (e.g. learning speed, level of reflection, support system, courage, persistence, etc.)
Feedback from fellow classmates : Watch out each other’s model (i.e. Go-pro for capturing the pattern)
