2017 Summer Team Building Programs
Transforming Leaders and Teams
♦ through natural horsepower ♦
Summer is just around the corner – which means now is the perfect time to plan your team building event. Great leaders know that when team members have a chance to connect and build relationships, it can have a profound effect on team cohesion and productivity. They also know maintaining an effective team is a continuous process and it’s important to consistently make sure their team is working well together. Are you looking for something that:
- Is new and different, and, combines fun with purpose?
- Deepens positive interaction and connection between your team?
- Serves as a catalyst for more team chemistry?
- Harnesses the best of your team?
- Allows you, the team leader, to participate fully with your team?
Then get your team out of the office and into the field for an experience they’ll never forget!
When you decide to bring your team out to the Business HorsePower herd (or ask us to come to you, which we can often do), we work with you to understand your team’s needs and design a customised experience that meets your objectives. Your team will engage in a variety of activities that seem simple, yet offer complex lessons in collaboration, partnership, trust, and commitment. Sessions are a combination of individual and small group exercises with the horses; observation, personal reflection and group discussion; individual, coaching and peer feedback. We can also:
- Administer team trust or team dynamic assessments. Or, incorporate your existing team or leadership assessments tools.
- Reinforce through our curriculum any current team or leadership development program you currently have in place.
- ‘Book end’ your team building with horses session with pre-session facilitation to more deeply prepare you, and, web-based post-session follow up to sustain your team’s learning.
Horses are Team Players
- They live in teams and have a sophisticated understanding of team work – their interactions with your team will reflect your team’s dynamics.
- If you want a horse to cooperate and follow you, you must make a genuine connection with them and demonstrate your commitment to partnership.
- They seek out and willingly respond to trustworthy leadership.
- Horses pick up nonverbal messages that we miss, or are unaware of giving. They give us clear feedback on when we’re effective – and when we’re not!
The Benefits of Team Building
There are many benefits to team building and these include:
- Gaining valuable insight into emotional intelligence and its impact on leadership, relationships and team productivity.
- Practicing problem-solving ‘on the go’ and in the face of new challenges and uncertainty.
- Becoming more focused and present as a team.
- Creating effective and loyal followership; inspire commitment.
- Deepening awareness of where your team gets stuck and learn how to shift ineffective behavior patterns.
I invite you to join me this summer for a team development experience with horses. I guarantee my work. If you feel the session does not meet your expectations, tell me by lunch time and you’ll receive a 100% refund.
To find out more simply give me a call on +44 1423 788229 and we can then co-create an experience that delivers a massive ROI for you and your team.
If you are a private individual then our next open programme which is on June 23rd might be better for you. You can find all the details here.
I can’t wait to hear from you.
