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.


OUR STORY

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.

1989


WDHB IS FOUNDED

WDHB (Warm Decent Human Beings) 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.

2002


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.

2009


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.

2011


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).

2015


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.

2019


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.

2020


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.




MEET THE TEAM

Our cultural and professional backgrounds are eclectic and diverse, and our
purpose is unified — to chart the future of organizational learning. Driven by
an intense curiosity to learn and grow, and with a mission to transform business
and the world at large, we are a microcosm of entrepreneurial thinking and
actions. In addition to our WDHB team, our skilled facilitators and expert
Advisory Board members are integral parts of the WDHB family.

These are the sorts of experience that create and foster paradigm shifts and, in
some cases, paradigm shatters, that help you look at situations in a completely
different way.

JOHN KOLMER

The program \[Virtual Strategic Summit\] helped align our newly established
organization and leadership team to define our desired future and strategic
frame with a clear roadmap.

STRACY SHEN

The Learning Expedition in Israel allowed us to explore different ways of
visualizing risk, boldness, spirituality and politics. I appreciate WDHB's high
level of listening, attitude and agility before and during the Learning
Expedition. They showcased strong professionalism and are highly sympathetic
people!

Getting together to do an impactful experiential learning [program] was going to

was just what we needed.
