Really wanted to share these photos of the 12 Trebuchets I built, sitting in my yard. They will all be used in a new team building simulation I created called Trebuch-SAYIT! Albany Medical College students will be experiencing this facilitation of awesomeness. TREBUCH-SAYIT! photos and plans will be available soon…check back … Continued
By giving the teams and participants an opportunity to think and speak about concerns and give accolades to each other a powerful bond is created.
Every Team Building & Leadership program engages people and learning on different levels. The challenge is how to retain and transfer the ideas, skills, and plans into action?
This requires a trap! The video illustrates a processing & reflection based initiative. Active processing works to take an existing idea, combine it with a new skill and develop a connection within your habits and brain.
Complex simulation illustrating communication by people listening and sharing information in a manner that other people can understand the message being received as well as sent.
Creates environment to transfer, strengthen and re-work systems of communication with intra as well as inter departmental systems.
Can also be used to highlight different idioms and references that are used internally, this can be confusing to other departments and cultures (for global organizations and teams).
The task objective is for groups on the opposite sides to exchange places, with no errors (violations, variations, defects, etc…) in the shortest time possible – while only stepping on the carpet squares when inside the DiSC Box.
The secondary objective is to highlight and reinforce what was learned using the DiSC and how it can be applied / transferred into their lives, teams, organizations, communities.
Engaging people and the team in a situational environment where they are asked to observe their own behaviors and preferences as well as those of the peers.
Connecting the content of a DiSC program to an applicable situation where people can experience, reflect, and process how the team and individuals affect those they work with.
Offers insights into the needs that different team members have for information and detail, how people like to work in either a structured or unstructured approach to problem solving and change, and how quickly and slowly people are willing to move ahead with a plan based on how much they know and understand about the solution.
To win and keep business the teams must design and execute effectively as a team the solution to a complex challenge. The aim of the project is to deliver customer satisfaction and an excellent product in a profitable and sustainable way by being able to communicate and operate with flexibility across different functions and areas.
This will be the first in a series of post – showing some activities and the potential connection to workplace, team skills & leadership. The primary job of a team building consultant using learning simulations is to facilitate and discuss with the team exactly how this relates to work…If you cannot facilitate a discussion with the team about how what they just did relates to work, you OUGHT not to be a Team Building Consultant for corporate groups.

Talk about a continuum of leadership
Ask people to move to where they feel most comfortable in their leadership. On the Far Left side are the Results Orientated Leaders ——– Far Right side are the Fun Orientated Leaders. If you are not strong on either end choose along the continuum where your leadership style fits.
Take a moment and look at yourself in relation to the other leaders in the room
Choose a partner who is closest to you – and take 2 minutes to discuss why you chose to stand where you did.
Ask if anyone wants to share what they spoke about.
This team building initiative can be used to illuminate the concept of the customer-supplier chain, where people come to understand how the work they do impacts others in the organization.
