About Us
For 35 years, WDHB has crafted learning experiences that invite people to think differently, act courageously, and grow with intention.
Our Approach
Threaded LearningTM distills decades of pioneering practice and strategic experiential learning into one framework. It reflects the three core convictions that learning must be…
Contextual
We begin at a point of questioning and framing to understand not just what exists, but what needs to shift. Grounded in your reality, our work connects with context.
Experiential
Our impact is built upon immersive experiences that pull people out of the everyday to see differently and think more expansively. Learning happens when you step beyond the known.
Community-led
Life pivots on relationships and shared momentum. We create structures where people discover common purpose, challenge each other's thinking, and move forward together.
5 Threads describe the conditions for learning with impact. They are interwoven and present in all our program designs and in every part of the learning experience:
Authenticity
When participants engage with lived realities and complexity, they gain agency — learning becomes relevant and urgent.
Otherness
Encounters with diverse and contrasting viewpoints expand perception, challenge assumptions, and spark possibility.
Reflection
Pausing to notice, integrate, and make meaning turns experience into personal and collective clarity — and action.
Conversation
Transformation lives in the exchange of ideas, perspectives, and realities. Dialogue sparks imagination and momentum.
Intentional Spaces
Context shapes experience. We create conditions that shift people out of routine and into openness, presence, and mutual trust.

Experiential learning brings the real world and learning concepts together. Participants are placed in a situation with real-life context and high authenticity and are challenged to live through it for themselves. Based on this first-hand encounter, they reflect and develop ideas that are applicable for their unique leadership and organizational objectives. The outcomes of experiential learning are characterized by higher relevance, increased buy-in, broader ownership, and more sustainable impact.
