This presentation reports on an experiential education program for university students aimed at the development of enterprising behaviour in daily life: individual level soft skills conducive to entrepreneurship, yet studied and practiced in non-business settings. In a nutshell, participants receive a set of eight to ten different challenges, which are not revealed until the exercise starts, which they work on for one or two days full time. Each challenge allows participants to practice the competencies of generating ideas for opportunities, taking action, perseverance, networking and network utilization, teamwork, and convincing others. The format is based on a comfort zone model. This paper reports on a qualitative analysis of the experiences of 202 participating students in 21 courses in 5 countries, reported in individual reflections, to to provide evidence for the types of learning which result. Key to learning is the element of surprise. Adaptation of current beliefs occurs when participants leave their comfort zone and have experiences that surprise them, leading to novel realisations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
