Team Building: Mentally challenge team comfort

Within a team building program participants are encouraged to do things that scare them, to push their comfort zone to create and connect new brain based synapses and discover new ways of approaching and solving problems. To empower yourself and teams to see people and feel experiences in a way that at one point seemed impossible. Managers and leaders are encouraged to create procedures and policies that encourage people to follow proven "trails" to create a measurable outcome, ma… Continue

To Tweet or Not to Tweet…Using Social Media in PR

I posted this on my own personal social media blog, but thought it might make for interesting discussion in this group. Imagine for a moment that you are a Public Relations Manager and are looking to distribute your company’s story about a new product or initiative. Newswire services allow you to reach large groups of traditional media — newspapers, radio and television stations. Email and telephone help you to contact your favorite reporters directly. And of course, you post your inform… Continue

Corporate Team Building & Leadership: Silence is your strength

Recently I was facilitating a team of 15 - a group that wished to enhance their team skills by creating a culture of empowerment. As I progressed through the training I saw that when I posed a question and asked the team to spend some time (generally 3-5 minutes) planning how they would solve the team building activity - all I heard was silence. Then after about 10 seconds their manager would jump in and tell the team what to do, assign roles and delegate tasks. During the break time I met wit… Continue

Climbing walls have gone the way of Ping Pong Tables, Everyone has one and all they are used for is Beer Pong Courts" -Anonymous Why Ropes Courses are not the proper fit for your Team Building program.… Continue
