MODV 0224: Team Building

Course Description
Topic Highlights
Instructor

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This full day “Team Building” course is highly interactive and fun, and will permit your organization’s attendees to consider the questions as specified by the company representative, such as:

  • Who are we as a staff together?
  • What’s the range of staff potentials and how can we tap into staff talent that we might not currently know about?
  • How do we as a staff increase the effectiveness of our processes for collaboration and working together?

Rather than providing solutions for the staff, the Team Building instructor will put staff through a variety of activities that permit them to “stay in the questions” together and arrive at their own collective answers.

As desired outcomes, your company participants will:

  • Learn about themselves as individuals.
  • Learn about each other and find strengths in the styles of fellow staff persons for operating in a team environment.
  • Have fun.
