Trapping Learning Requires Questions

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.

Team Building & Leadership; Sample Program

Providing the leadership team with skills, tools, and facilitation that will allow them to find strengths within themselves, their department, other departments and the organization.
While exploring these strengths discussions and process development of existing customer and stakeholder interactions will evolve and create increased staff and customer satisfaction and retention.

Why plan & develop talent when the world is going to end?

How many people, teams, companies have this thinking? and are counting down to some made up lacking critical thinking end state.
Perhaps not 2012 and conspiracy theories; yet just as strong folkloric constructs. False stories that become perceived as the truth because no one has critically explored and challenged the foundation upon which the story is built. Then people “research” and continue to find and reinforce their belief.

Team Building NEEDS Individual Talents

Team building allow leaders and team members to gain a micro-view of people in situational transactions. When involved in these situational transactions people can see how others and themselves, think, act, handle conflict, handle long and short term delegation of tasks, are able to view the team as a whole, as well as how the individual works and treat others in projects.

This is powerful because rarely is the opportunity given for teams to explore and objectively view a project take place where all team members are present in real-time and are then led through processing and reflection to highlight and explore the strengths of the individuals and the team while involved in work.

AWW FWAP!

The finest onomatopoeia in the Team Building world!

The other part is team resiliency. The ability of a team to develop a shared psychological state of working through challenges and staying together, working through conflicts and coming out stronger on the other side. Allowing each team member to use their talents and abilities in an autonomous manner, while still focusing on the the set goal and challenge.
