Genuine Team Building
We have often had the experience of introducing ourselves to someone, then hearing them groan when we reveal that we "do teambuilding." We believe this is because the word "teambuilding" has been abused and overused to include a variety of income-motivated recreational activities that may be enjoyable, but have nothing to do with learning and practicing skill sets.
Webster's Dictionary defines "TEAM" as "A group of people working or playing together," and "BUILD" as "To make by putting together parts, establish, create or develop, and to grow or intensify." Genuine Team Building, therefore, must have a purpose beyond fun and games. It should work towards a better, more skillful, and improved team through clear objectives and a strategic blueprint.
Our Team Building programs are designed to teach specific lessons, and then reinforce learning through the use of targeted and carefully sequenced activities - that happen to be fun, active, and interactive.
MBTI Personality Types
The Meyers Briggs Type Indicator is a psychological assessment that helps to identify individual preferences in how people take in information, make decisions, and interact with the world around them. The MBTI is one of the world's most widely used, proven, and respected personality assessments. An MBTI training includes taking an assessment, learning about the 16 personality types, exploring how the personalities in your team configure, and applying the types in play.
Spiritual Gifts
Spiritual Gifts are often overlooked or underestimated in the formation of teams. The Spiritual Gift mix of a team makes a huge impact in how that team carries out the its mission. Knowing the Spiritual Gifts of your team members benefits an organization in multiple ways, including the appropriate assignment of roles and creating work teams that will work together well.Group Developmental Stages
According to psychologist Bruce Tuckman (1965), teams develop in predictable ways through 5 stages: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning. Sometimes that development may need a little help. The ability to recognize these stages are helpful to a team in moving to a more effective stage of development, and to leaders in being able to appropriately adjust to the needs of their the teams for which they are responsible.Healthy vs. Dysfunctional Teams
Research shows us that there are specific characteristics and skills exhibited by both healthy and dysfunctional teams. Teams that are self-aware of these factors can take steps to develop their strengths while tackling growth areas. Leaders who are practiced in looking for these characteristics in their own spheres of influence, help to create teams that are effective and productive.Experiential Facilitator Training
Learning how to be an effective experiential facilitator can enhance the work of teachers, preachers, youth leaders, camp directors, or anyone else who works with teams of people. A facilitator training includes the theory of experiential education, the "soft skills" of leading processing discussions, recognizing group dynamics, and sequencing of activities to build skills. Participants will leave this training will leave with a "bag of tricks" to begin using immediately, including a variety of games, activities, and processing/debriefing tricks.
