Managers and aspiring managers, coaches, teachers, administrators, students and others.
EMPOWER leadership development programs are hands on training experiences where each person within your training group will have the opportunity to lead team challenges, facilitate planning sessions, and receive immediate group feedback. These one of a kind training programs utilize our powerful adventure experiences combined with skill building to teach participants how to plan effectively, manage group meetings, gain team commitment, and how to motivate and inspire others. Leadership development program curriculum can include any of the following:
1. ZIP LINE CANOPY TOUR – This is a super-fun shared experience that will have you flying through the tree tops over 5 zip lines, 2 sky bridges, 2 optional climbing challenges and 9 platforms! We can facilitate the zip line course to be a “leadership of self” activity where self coaching and focus in the face of adversity are emphasized or as an extreme confidence builder. Leaders must have confidence in themselves to overcome challenges that at first may seem impossible. This can be relevant to CEOs and managers as well as students and athletes! We will work with you to coordinate these themes ahead of time.
2. TREE CLIMB – This partner assisted activity is perfect for emphasizing the importance of trust and communication amongst teammates and co-workers and illustrates the rewards of taking positive risks. Additionally, each tree climb has two climbing lanes if you like to compete with your co-workers or group members!
3. MAP and COMPASS TEAMBUILDING CHALLENGE – This is a game where your group is divided into 2 or 3 teams and each team has to navigate through the woods finding different challenges and obstacles to overcome. Each obstacle and challenge has a point value and will require the group to think creatively, gain a consensus, delegate tasks, role play and improvise in order to accumulate the most points. The team with the most points at the end of the allotted time wins!
4. Pre-training reading assignment – A reading assignment can be an effective way to illustrate a learning objective or lesson prior to the Leadership Development program taking place. There are some very relevant leadership lessons that can be learned through reading.
5. Leadership Action Plans – These plans are formulated after a leadership adventure program. The action plan gives the individuals a tangible plan to walk away with that can help improve their organization and time management, renew a commitment or re-focus on a specific goal or objective.
