Our Story
CDI started in Africa
on an exhausting bumpy dirt road, somewhere in the middle of nowhere…
As I sat next to my fellow traveler, a Fortune 100 executive, we laughed about how far away he was from corporate America and its creature comforts. We also discussed the multiple occasions for deep personal learning, especially the organic, real team-building opportunities during a challenging, albeit impactful trip.
Travel creates a unique container for personal and group development, and I laughingly imagined bringing an entire corporate team to this complex and endearing place to serve others in the middle of nowhere. Soon though, I became excited and pretty animated around all the positive change it could create while living a fantastic adventure!
So today, I am proud to welcome you to Noble Adventures, a transformational leadership development experience unlike any other in the world.
We have combined instructional design principles, the richness and depth of values-centered leadership, and the latest research on teaming. Each participant's personal stories create a holistic and transformational leadership development experience as they can focus on themselves and their growth for an entire week.
This groundbreaking leadership experience is tailor-made for executives and leaders who understand the power of action-based learning. We combine intense leadership challenges with real-world projects that create tangible good in the world.

Noble Adventures exists to create a learning container for your team to lead with emotional courage and foster emotional intelligence.

“Don’t ask what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive…” ~ Howard Thurman
I love this quote because it is all about YOU…what you dream about doing, and the urgency of uncovering your gifts so you can come ALIVE for our world!
I came alive on my first trip to Africa.
Travel teaches so much…the importance of trust, adaptability, problem-solving, navigating change, and above all, cultural respect and sensitivity.

Become A Noble Adventurer
Christina will work with the group to release specific conflict-creating issues, discuss challenging habits and limiting thoughts.
Individual and team conflicts, unclear alignment, culture shock, unrealistic expectations and travel discomforts… these things can and do happen while on service collaboratives, but instead of letting these challenges short circuit the team, Christina will help focus the team on the gifts within these potential problems and turn them into opportunities to learn and grow.
Our goal of Noble Adventures is become comfortable in uncertainty, innovative in the face of hardships and challenge, and free to be flexible and more adaptive.
Ultimately, we learn to take what is experienced on the adventure and realized through reflection, take it home, applying the lessons learned in our own communities, organizations and living rooms. As these challenges dissolve, you’ll sense the core of peace that can continue to direct your life long after your adventure is complete.
