This is effort versus productivity. This is working smarter, not harder.
In Gold of the Desert Kings, all teams face identical challenges. They are forced to be as productive as possible with their limited time and resources. They encounter sandstorms, superheat and the Tomb of Kings. Eighty percent of the teams that begin the journey finish it — while the others perish in the desert.
Gold of the Desert Kings addresses the issue of effort versus productivity. Participants are placed in circumstances with limited time and resources and must rely on their team to achieve their goals. The pressures and anxiety experienced are similar to those experienced daily in a hectic work schedule. Participants contend with deadlines, a perceived lack of resources, others’ point of view and the pressure to just do something while trying to accomplish team objectives.
Why Gold of the Desert Kings™
Real leadership capability is revealed under pressure.
Gold of the Desert Kings™ activates change at the level that matters most — how people think, decide and behave when stakes are high and information is incomplete.
Our methodology is grounded in behavioural science, drawing on research in learning, motivation, decision-making and habit formation. The result is not temporary insight, but measurable behavioural shift.
We don’t deliver training events.
We design transformation experiences that translate directly into business impact.
Gold of the Desert Kings™ is one such experience.
