Custom Retreat

Meeting & retreat planning & facilitation; Experiential & Adventure Based Training: Reset & recharge

You want to have some fun with your team, but you also want to be a learning organization. Let’s not waste the team’s time. I facilitate team, organization or group activities, adventures and initiatives. All of this can be done virtually. Experience based learning is a great way to understand the individuals on your team and how they interact.

Orientation to Ninja Courage events begins with non-competitive, playful warm up games. Problem-solving initiatives are then introduced in a sequential manner designed to gradually initiate a sense of disequilibrium among participants. This refers to a state of internal conflict that occurs between old patterns of thinking and new information.

Challenges are presented just outside of participant’s comfort zones to promote the integration of new knowledge, a reshaping of existing perceptions and a group process of facing resistance to change. The completion of tasks leads to feelings of group accomplishment that improve interpersonal communication, team problem solving skills and overall morale.

Using creative debriefing techniques, participants are encouraged to generalize their experiences to future behaviors, relationships and work endeavors.  And above all else, let’s have some fun together!

“You can learn more about a person in a hour of play than in a lifetime of conversation.” -Plato
