Description:
What is the first thing you think of when you hear (or read) “team building”? Why does team building, whether you spell it as one word or two, have such a negative connotation to so many? For those who are naturally active and/or outgoing, team building is often welcomed with open arms; however, for those who are introverted, and/or less athletically inclined, it’s often a cause of hesitation, fear, and anxiety. By conducting a series of short surveys, Matt garnered the common opinions, and misconceptions, of what team building is, and he’s sharing his findings, and solutions, with the world through his speaking engagements and his book. Team building is more than zip lining, trust falls, and slide show presentations. This is not a stuff lecture on why you should utilize team building, or a list of activities to take back to the office, but rather, an interactive (yes, attendees will partake in some simple, yet engaging activities) and lively presentation.
Attendees will take away the following key points:
- Why “team building” is not a “bad word”
- What positive team building experiences entail
- A removal of fear and anxiety around both the words, and acts, of team building
- When and how to host a productive tea, building experience beneficial to everyone on a team
- How team building may provide a “mix up” of roles, responsibilities, and leadership opportunities
- First and foremost, team building can, and should be FUN!
