PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORKSHOP:

The team-building (TeamQuest) workshop is designed around the concept of "experiential learning" and focus on taking participants through a series of initiatives that draw out skills and behaviors indicative in individuals in an organizational setting. The use of initiatives creates a high-energy learning environment focusing on the needs of an organization. The designs are fun, competitive, and interactive. They enable members to evaluate what they have experienced and transfer that knowledge into "real life." Large groups capitalize on the amount of energy and volume of ideas created. This non-traditional methodology of learning is fun for the participants and provides a rich array of experiences that benefit both the individual and the organization.

GENERAL OBJECTIVES:

• Develop an understanding in the participant that building teams and developing leadership skill is an art form that must be developed and practiced.

• Allow participants to experience how their team attitudes and leadership styles affect those around them as well as the organization.

• Enhance the participants’ skills in the area of teamwork, communication and leadership.

• Have FUNN!! (Functional Understanding Not Necessary!)
