In this episode, we sit down with Sherry Bagley, executive director of the Association for Experiential Education, for a conversation that’s equal parts insightful and unexpected. Sherry shares her winding path to experiential education. She breaks down the foundational principles of challenge, experience, and reflection, and how they’re used to build meaningful connections and inclusive member experiences. Together, they dive into the power of intentional networking (yes, even icebreakers), the role of reflection in retention, and… pet chickens. (Yes, really.)
