“THE SPIRIT OF TEAM”
Unleashing and Sustaining the Creative Human Spirit in Your Team
The purpose of the “Spirit of Team” Retreat is to provide groups with the tools, insights and understandings that generate breakthroughs and lead to championship-level teams and industry leaders. It’s design has two predominant intentions:
1. To provide a structured environment in which your team can create a culture of mutual empowerment – a progressive, coaching/learning culture that enhances ongoing personal, professional and team development, as well as the opportunity for true mastery.
2. To introduce managers to the Holistic Principles of Creative Coaching™ and Sourceful Leadership™. These involve the art and science of transforming team members from producing average or below results to inspired performers regularly delivering brilliant performances.
During this 5-day retreat, you will have the opportunity to dive deeply into the creative principles that cause extraordinary, breakthrough results.
Each of you will create a new access to your own natural creativity as applied to your work. You will be coached in designing a practical, work-related, catalytic project, called “A Game Worth Playing™” that is a powerful expression of the future you’re generating.
You will discover the degree to which you don’t listen; and with this new awareness, have a breakthrough in your ability to listen.You will create a new dimension for communicating and relating, allowing you to effectively empower and to be empowered.
Your team members will have the opportunity to develop themselves together and in the process, create a new “coaching culture” – a culture of active, mutual support and empowerment.
As a “Sourceful Leader”, you will have an enhanced ability to engage team members, as co-visionaries, in the fulfillment of the vision.
The program modules are highly interactive and encourage participants to use real time challenges as they learn to apply these powerful generative principles. You will have time as a team to explore how these principles uniquely apply to your company’s issues and opportunities.
We will support you in creating your bold and audacious company vision for 2018 and beyond. You will identify goals, outcomes and a plan-in-action that will support you in generating unprecedented results. This retreat is highly experiential and transformational. It requires commitment and intention on the part of each participant to receive the maximum benefit.
Intended Outcomes: Whatever results you produce from this retreat are obviously up to you and your team. If you are willing, this is the direction things will go:
You will experience:
- A new awareness of the power of individual personal responsibility
- An increased ability to communicate effectively and inspire great performance
- Being inspired by a vision of power and possibility
- The ability to generate a culture of mutual empowerment
