Philosophy

Working as a team is a dynamic learning process. Every group has a unique experience progressing through the stages of group development. The Challenge Program directly engages your group in an experiential learning “laboratory” in order to:

• Provide your group with the opportunity for empowerment and significant growth.
• Customize programs to assist your group to reach their unique goals through an experiential learning opportunity.
• Serve as a creative tool to enhance team building, leadership, communication, trust, and conflict resolution skills.
• Prepare your team members to serve as effective leaders in a variety of situations and with diverse teams.
• Push boundaries to discover personal achievement.

Our facilitators will debrief the initiatives, focusing on the transfer of newly discovered principles, skills, and habits that will lead to improved performance in the real world.
