  • Arbinger Institute

    Arbinger’s Outward Mindset Online is a self-paced, video-driven course consisting of 10 learning modules with over 30 videos of between 5 and 10 minutes each. Each module is accompanied by a downloadable guide with tools and exercises that participants can use to both further their learning and to apply to their work on an ongoing basis. The program is not simply a recording of Arbinger’s in-person workshops, nor is it a traditional e-learning program in which participants simply click dry content. In the program’s absorbing video lessons, real people demonstrate how the inward mindset damaged their relationships, diminished their effectiveness, and hurt their organizations. They also explain how they used Arbinger's mindset-change, accountability, and collaboration tools to significantly improve their relationships, work more effectively, and attain superior results. Most importantly, the lessons also create a real desire in the user to become more outward and teach them the tools that will enable them to do so.
