Our Ambition

We will chart the future of organizational learning.

Our Vision

We see the world as our classroom full of infinite and diverse moments to grow through the power of shared stories and experiences.

The Story of WDHB

Founded in the dynamic San Francisco Bay Area in 1989, WDHB has evolved into a truly global company focused on ensuring that organizations around the world have access to industry-leading learning experiences, programs and approaches that allow people to learn and grow personally and professionally.

WDHB is founded

WDHB was founded in 1989 and coined the term Learning Expedition. This revolutionized the world of experiential learning and is now a standard of excellence in the repertoire of strategic learning techniques.

WDHB is a global pioneer

Among the first to recognize the shift of innovation power to global hotspots in the developed and developing world, WDHB diversified our destinations with an increased focus on China.

The Conference Board Launches Staff Rides

The Conference Board launched Staff Rides in Gettysburg, with Normandy following in 2003. Such programs immersed leaders in powerful life-changing stories from leaders of today and yesterday.

WDHB is a trusted partner

As the economic recession brought many organizations close to their breaking points and motivated an entire generation to refocus on purpose, social responsibility and the importance of wellbeing at work, WDHB was a strong partner providing relevant programs that challenged organizations to focus on long-term success.

Leadership Experiences Are Born

The Waterloo Experience kicked off what we know today as Leadership Experiences, followed by Apollo in 2010 and Gold Medal in 2013. The portfolio of experiences was expanded and addressed new challenges facing organizations during this period in time.

WDHB is client-centric

Constantly focused on how to best serve our clients, WDHB committed to global expansion and opened offices in Zürich (2011) APAC (2014) and Paris (2017).

Experience to Lead Is Founded

A deal was struck with TCB, and Experience to Lead was born. A key focus was placed on the successful collaboration and partnership with colleagues, subject matter experts, consultants, facilitators and clients.

WDHB invests in research

WDHB turned 30, launched WDHB Lab focused on L&D research, and released The Future of L&D report — a culmination of our research and insights from multiple, diverse client programs designed to help organizations ensure they are always looking forward and to what’s next.

WDHB expands during crisis

The world is forever impacted and changed by the COVID-19 pandemic. WDHB quickly expands to virtual formats and advisory services to provide organizations with the strong partnership they expect and need. Experience to Lead is acquired and added to the WDHB family to provide an expanded portfolio of innovative L&D solutions to organizations around the globe.

Getting together to do an impactful experiential learning [program] was going to be the way that we were going to get some of that fire back.  This opportunity in particular, the Gold Medal Experience, being able to interact with athletes, was just what we needed.
