Team Building
One of the real needs of most groups-whether they be vestries, corporate management teams, youth groups, men's or women's groups - is learning how to communicate and work together as a team. Is a cooperative team worth four to eight hours of your time? Few things build relationships faster and more effectively than experiential activities that focus on trust, cooperation, risk taking, communication, flexibility, listening, group decision-making and teamwork.
The Phoebe Needles Center is offering a program to all types of groups. Your group will spend a half or full day working together on a series of challenges and reflecting on that process. All of the learnings, whether for an individual or a group, we experience in this process, parallel those in our everyday living. It is a great way to build a team, or enhance the cooperative skills of an existing group. It is also a lot of fun!
