Dojo Academy

Dojos are an effective and exciting new approach to building high-performing teams in an immersive learning setting. Success with a dojo depends on a few key factors, one of the most important is the quality of coaching a team receives. Build your coaching skills with our online learning & mentorship programs. In our first course, "Ready to Coach", prospective coaches will learn the dojo model, gaining proficiency in coaching a team through their immersive learning journey. We’ll cover working as a team with other coaches, mastering the core set of plays one needs to facilitate the team experience, and building or adapting new plays for different types of dojos.
