The last several days have seen some unbelievable team building programs take place at EMPOWER.  We hosted over 30 soldiers from the CT Army National Guard for a “training” session and to show them some leadership and team building initiatives that we use for our corporate programs.  We hosted a team building canopy tour session with Morgan PLC from North Haven and put together an awesome “ZIP/HUNT/CLIMB” team building competition for the development office at Quinnipiac University.  This is what Paul from QU had to say about their day here:

“Thank you to the EMPOWER staff for putting together an awesome team building event for our group, the Office of Development & Alumni Affairs at Quinnipiac University.  The “zip/hunt/climb challenge” was perfect and truly set the tone for the rest of our team building/professional development day.  The professional staff at EMPOWER helped us achieve our goals of enhancing our communication skills throughout our three teams as well as energizing and uplifting the team members as we head into FY11.  Thanks for helping us come together and refocus on the tasks at hand.  We highly recommend the zip/hunt/climb challenge for groups who like a competitive side to their team building!”
