CLEE’s Five Adult Learning Principles

Executives bring depth, experience, and context to every learning opportunity. CLEE programs draw on Malcolm Knowles’ principles of adult learning, blending proven methods with experiential, discussion-driven design that resonates with experienced professionals.

CLEE has the ability to create content within the learning topics that addresses real-world problems that your leaders are experiencing. With a variety of methods, we can provide your leaders with tools to help solve issues outside of the learning environment.

Adults are motivated when they can see the immediate value of what they are learning. CLEE designs and develops programs that address specific challenges leaders are facing in their work environment.

Leaders bring a wealth of prior knowledge and life experiences into the learning process, which shapes how they perceive new information. CLEE draws on these experiences, making space for adult learners to share insights and incorporate them into the learning process.

CLEE’s programs are easy to recognize the reasoning for incorporating each learning module for development purposes. Leaders tend to be more willing to learn when they recognize a clear need for new knowledge or skills, often driven by real-world challenges.

CLEE faculty members acknowledge participants who actively engage and contribute to shaping the direction of the learning experience. These leaders demonstrate a high level of professionalism, fostering authentic and transparent dialogue throughout the process.
