Why Leadership &

Teambuilding? 

A teambuilding and leadership program is based on a series of challenges and tasks designed to encourage cooperation, trust, communication, self confidence and the ability to work with others to achieve mutual goals. The program begins with a collection of games and initiative activities that will introduce the group to many of the basic skills required to solve problems or achieve goals. Following each activity or event, the group will undergo a “debriefing” where these skills may be identified and the group shares ideas and insights  prior  to moving on to the next level of challenges.

A ropes course, which is often referred to as a challenge or confidence course, is a group of structures developed into what are known as elements. These elements can be low, (ground level) or high, (30 or more feet above the ground). The purpose of each element is to provide groups with a new and different challenge in which many of  their previously identified skills can be utilized. Beginning with the low elements, a group takes on a series of unique challenges which further develops their skills. As the challenges  become increasingly difficult, the groups skills improve. The debriefing that will follow each challenge allows the members of the group to process their experience on each element, offer insights into their thoughts and allows for a transfer of new knowledge back to their own workplace or group environment. With this training participants will be a more cohesive, functional team in any setting.
