A company with a ‘naturally wild’ attitude
Odyssey Invictus is founded in the experiences of Kevin Lawrence, Founder and Managing Director of The Odyssey Group and the work they have undertaken developing thousands of people around the world since 2002. It is also from his work since 2014, providing people with fully immersive and defining development experiences in the South African bushveld and experiencing first-hand the incredible benefits a ‘wild way of learning’ can have on thinking, attitudes, behaviour, ways of working and peoples sense of well-being.
Linking those experiences and reflecting on how sterile and homogenous a lot of development programmes seem to be becoming, it’s time for something different; something more immersive, something more meaningful.
Something that more fully integrates personal and professional development with people's well-being:
Development for the heart, and mind
Development with ‘purpose’
Development that genuinely allows people to:
