The Courageous Leader course
|
Hello facilitator friends!
New News! I'm traveling today... it's my first time on an airplane since the US issued stay-at-home orders to prevent the spread of covid-19! I'm doing a writer's retreat with my co-authors Trevor Dunlap and Matthew Broda so we can get our new book finished up,
Team Building From the Toy Aisle. It's due to the publisher on July 31, so we are kicking it in high gear! This book will have tons of new activities you've never seen before. We have re-engineered some classic games into new, fresh activities that are bound to breathe some new life into your programs. Stay tuned!
New Online Course! At my other company,
Personify Leadership, my business-partner Angela Sebaly and I have been working on a new online course called
The Courageous Leader: Resilience in Tough Times. A timely topic! Angela is the author of the amazing book,
The Courageous Leader, and we have been busy developing this self-paced Online Course behind the scenes. We are excited to share it with you! We are hosting a free demo of this course on
July 1, 2020 at 11:00am ET / 9:00am MT.
Register here! We will be launching the online program on July 7, so this will be your chance for a sneak peek at some of the internal elements of this course. And just like all of our programs at Personify, it will be an experiential-based program, even in the virtual format! Once we launch, the course will retail for $298 per person. We will discount this to $248 to the first 100 people that sign up. Look for those details in an upcoming newsletter once the course is live.
New Podcast Episode! Chris Cavert and I have been having a blast recording new episodes of our podcast called '
Ask Michelle & Chris About Team Building' We have our 7th episode ready for download, and this week we tackle the question, "How do you use the What? So What? Now What? processing model?"

You can also find and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast player - just search, 'Ask Michelle & Chris'.

Overstock sale! We have a ton of these in stock right now, so I'm passing some savings onto you.
With all team members on the Trolley, holding onto their lanyards, they work together as a team to move from location to location. Groups typically establish a call out to move which leg of the trolley in unison so they group to proceed in any direction. You can increase the difficulty by adding tasks to be completed using the trolley's or take away a resource such as their ability to speak. Watch as the group creates effective communication, collaboration, and consensus in this traditional team building activity.
These finely-sewn trolleys are made from the same materials as the best climbing harnesses and weigh less than a pound. Perfect for traveling programs. A standard 8-person trolley is available, as well as 4-person trolleys that can be easily connected together for larger groups.
