Adventurous Training and Expeditions
Equally importantly, adventurous training provides an
environment in which participants can test themselves
against physical and mental challenges where fear, risk
and danger are factors in leadership and decision making.
The main activities involved in the available programmes
are:
Mountaineering
Canoeing
Free Fall
Sailing
Skiing
Sub Aqua
Taylor-made Expeditions
Adventurous Training expeditions are organised and conducted
by the members of the team themselves to Europe, Africa
and America. Again the purpose is to allow participants
to plan and conduct an expedition in order to develop
initiative and self-confidence in challenging environments.
Aspects of integral development that we include in our
programmes for business leaders are:
•-Ability to create
and execute a strategic plan

and sustaining high levels of performance
•-Being visible in
a way that inspires confidence
•-Remaining calm under
pressure
•-Maintaining integrity
in all circumstances
•-Communicating effectively

the face of difficulty
All our programmes are designed to meet our clients’
needs for developing specific leadership attributes. These
programmes are often designed to allow large groups of
leaders and managers to undergo the same experience within
a few weeks or months of each other.
The environment at Arton is unique. There is an all pervading
atmosphere of excellence where standards in everything
from the presentation of the grounds to the behaviour
of the Staff is exemplary. Attending a programme in such
a setting has an inevitable impact on delegates who invariably
“raise their game” accordingly.
We work with our client organisations at all levels,
from graduates to senior managers, developing their leadership
capability as well as imparting the skills that enable
them to be highly effective in their roles.
