Programs are most commonly designed for team-building and leadership development, however, we can tailor a program to address your prescriptive need.

Each group has different needs. We design a program specifically for your group therefore, we have no standardized fees. Please call and one of our staff will be glad to help design a proposal for your company.

Uncovering Your Team Player Style

Utilizing the Parker Team Player Survey we will explore how our individual style creates a mental roadmap - in others - of how we will behave and function in a group. We will use adventure-based simulations to explore how often those style characteristics emerge and how to recognize the "triggers" that create problems for us in a business setting.

Awareness Level – This level of team program is designed to introduce newly formed work teams and leaders to the ideas and concepts of teamwork. It focuses on group dynamics in their most basic form; problem solving, communication, trust, group expectations, cooperation and different team styles

Functional Level – At this stage in team development participants understand the basic ideas and concepts of teamwork, now they need to understand how those concepts relate to thier specific situation.

Implementation Level –Large order change does not exist in a vacuum, there is a ripple effect that touches everyone involved from the highest level executive to the front line associate. If the human resource is ignored, then organizational change is more difficult. We move through processes to understand the value of change and how it can benefit everyone.

About Challenge Courses

All of our programs employ the use of a high ropes course or low challenge course. Action Learning is the keystone of our brand of leadership and team training. The result of using this medium is condensed learning time as we move through simulations tied to workplace reality.

High Ropes Course – A series of foot and belay cables that constructs a sequence of "events" up to 35 ft. off the ground.

Low Challenge Course – A series of "events" no more than 4 ft. off the ground designed to present progressively more difficult challenges that bring out group dynamics.
