Challenge of the Sea : Personal and Team development

Overview

What has a Square Rig Tall Ship and your organisation got in common? Both require

• teamwork
• leadership
• communication
• feedback
• trust
• commitment
• planning
• objective setting

to get them moving in the right direction.

This programme provides individuals and teams with an opportunity to experience the self development, leadership and teamwork needed to manage a complete business process, whilst on the Tall Ship and develop the skills that are crucial in the workplace.

The programme embraces individual and team development concepts, to

• energise skills and knowledge growth,
• utilise and extend entrepreneurial skills
• build upon individual experience in leadership, team-building, inter-personal skills
• the ability to manage organisational change and personal development

There is not a management, team, leadership, organisational, motivational or interpersonal skill, which can be neglected in this powerful ‘Square Rig Tall Ship’ learning environment.

Team-building training often fails to achieve required results because the environment created is false. This programme empowers everyone to resolve team conflict and take self-development seriously.

Organisations have used it to develop their Graduate population in the transition from university to work; you will be surprised at the results you can achieve.
