What Aqua is about
Somewhere in Kentucky, a sustainable community is doing its best to survive a suffocating drought that has lasted almost three years. The ecovillage's whole way of life is at stake.
Gina has an idea to make sure everyone has enough water: build a well. But a good idea isn't enough. Whether the neighbors reach their big goal depends on something far less visible: her ability to give effective feedback, at the right time and in the right way.
Your own feedback training runs on the game's realistic, integrated simulator: a dozen practical cases to give positive and constructive feedback in a safe, stress-free environment. And yes, you get personalized feedback on your own areas for improvement too.
