Review team objectives, introduce staff, and engage in an energizer
|
| |
Trust Fall
Participants climb a low ladder or platform and fall backwards into their
teammates' upraised arms. Before being lowered to the ground, the
participant experiences the support of her team. |
 |
| |
Result: Participants begin the process of building trust as a foundation
for growth and development. They practice letting go and giving unconditional
trust and support to their teammates.
|
|
|
Spider's Web
The team is challenged to pass through an organizational web to the other
side. Each person may use each opening only one time, and without touching
the web. |
|
|
Result: Participants experience strategic partnering, accountability,
and quality issues in which success is ultimately dependent upon the
entire team.
|
| |
High Y
In harnesses and double-belayed to a rope safety system, partners begin
individually on each arm of the Y to negotiate a set of tight-rope cables,
25 feet off the ground. As they reach the center of the Y, the partners join
together and work through the stem to get to the other side. |
|
| |
Result: Through clear communication, mutual trust and support, participants
create stability, focus and a way to move forward.
|
|
|
Grapevine
While harnessed and belayed onto a rope safety system,
the participant climbs 30 feet into the trees to stand on a cable. From
there, each participant attempts to reach the goal he set before
starting the climb.
|
|
|
Result: Participants experience the internal walls of
self-limitation and the inherent capacity to push beyond their comfort
zones to break through fear and, thus, increase self-esteem.
|
| |
Corporate Ladder
In groups of three climbers, who are tethered together
at the waist, must work together to climb a 45 foot ladder to "bring
their product to market."
|
|
|
Result: Participants practice active, effective support and coaching
that helps them attain their business objectives faster and with higher
quality. |
|
|
Closure
At the end of each activity, the facilitator initiates a discussion about
the activity. Participants are encouraged to discuss the group's actions and
behaviors, as well as voice their opinions, compliments, and concerns.
|
| |
Result: A stronger more cohesive team.
