Team Building

The changing business environment has put pressure on organisations to adapt their work practices.

Organisations are changing from relying on individuals to perform discrete tasks to utilising high performance teams that accomplish work interdependently.

A team is a group of people who are mutually dependent on one another to achieve a common goal.

Self Leadership International provides training workshops and group coaching to develop high performing teams.

The focus is on facilitation and fun experiential learning to create both the knowledge and behaviours of a high performing team.

Unlike many 'adventure type' team-building trainings, our workshops create a direct relationship to the workplace and are suitable for participants of all ages, fitness and genders. We can 'blend' a training to include a combination of outdoor and indoor activities to maximise the fun, participation and learning.

Participants will learn and practice the principles of high performing teams, including:

1. Setting clear goals
2. Defining individual roles
3. Communicating clearly and openly
4. Making effective decisions
5. Balancing participation
6. Valuing diversity
7. Managing conflict
8. Creating a positive atmosphere
9. Developing cooperative relationships
10. Utilising participative leadership

Typically a workshop will be held over 2-days. After some initial 'ice breaking activities', the trainer will facilitate understanding of the the key principles. Each of the above principles will be then experienced and learned through an interactive game, challenge or activity. Each principle is then de-briefed and translated into a workplace behaviour. At the end of the workshop, participants commit to working as a team.

Follow up group coaching is an option to further develop the attitude and skills learned at the workshop.
