Three Signs of a Miserable Job
Based on the book The Three Signs of a Miserable Job: A Fable for Managers (And Their Employees)
by Pat Lencioni, this session will help managers provide their team members with fulfilling job experiences thus leading to increased retention and reducing the cost of recruitment. If your organization’s morale is low or have a challenge with staff dissatisfaction and you would like to see a happier, more productive team, consider this workshop for your next staff meeting.
Frantic Family
It is no secret that our employees' personal lives affect their work performance and results. Homelife that is reactive, scattered, or downright chaotic contributes to a work environment of the same. Show your commitment to healthy employees by providing them with a personal, focussed workshop which takes Pat’s best business concepts and applies them to busy families (as found in Pat's book, The Three Big Questions for a Frantic Family: A Leadership Fable About Restoring Sanity To The Most Important Organization In Your Life). Your staff will learn how to apply some simple tools to their family life and receive surprising results.
Team Building Experiential Events
Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine
This experiential learning activity is action-packed and fun-filled. Participants work in teams of 3 to 6 people in a simulation of a modern-day gold mining expedition. Each team must make plans, take action, and reap results. The behaviours that are evoked generate interactions and outcomes that are remarkably like “real-life.” Following the hectic adventure, participants stand back and consider what they did, both as individuals and as small teams. Part of the power in the exercise is that people see for themselves how they affect and are affected by certain dynamics. Rather than “telling them the answers,” they reflect and learn frm themselves and from each other.
Sea Quest
This experiential teambuilding activity focuses on: communications and planning within a team, themes of managing, motivating and leading teams, and a series of powerful connections to issues of inter-team communications, systems, and collaboration. The event is full of effective exercises designed to generate insights and discussions about the choices that people make and the issues surrounding leadership. After the “event” the participants reflect on the outcomes of their participation and the participation of others and glean insights about themselves and their roles on their teams.
