Working with a group on Leadership and team building. Part of the process is taking the group to a High Ropes Course to explore individual challenges.
Create-Learning leads team building & leadership programs with many High Ropes and Low Ropes courses.
Team-Building is a practice in resiliency. One part is the personal ability of the individual to continue through a process once the fun stops, develop a solution, be facilitated through understanding the process & learn adaptive techniques.

Allowing each team member to use their talents and abilities in an autonomous manner, while still focusing on the the set goal and challenge.
