Workshops & Team Building
Surviving Your Serengeti – A Safari to Discovery
The greatest asset in a team is the diversity of skills and personalities found in its members. But these very elements are often the source of conflict, lack of trust and openness that block communication lines and frustrate team cohesiveness and effectiveness.
- How do you overcome the age old problem of team members just following their own personal opinions and moving in conflicting directions?
- How do you increase motivation, improve communication and build trust toward a common goal?
These are just 2 of the key questions that Stefan Swanepoel addresses in his new corporate seminar. He has taken a whole new approach not only to team building but also to ensuring that the team functions as a single unit to achieve a universally owned team goal.
His approach to building a successful team focuses on what other programs tend to ignore – the individual skills of the team members and how they fit into the team’s overall strategy and plan. Based upon his newest book, Surviving Your Serengeti, Stefan reveals the secret to defining and understanding the basic skills that are the necessary foundation of a closely knit and fully functioning team. In an entirely unique format he reveals these skills through the Wisdom and the Secrets of the Serengeti.
From a lifetime’s experience in Africa, Stefan has captured the essence of the unique,highly specialized skills demonstrated by the animals of the Serengeti: the true essentials of successful team building and functioning. This highly interactive seminar explores those skills, what they mean, when successfully employed, they will lower implementation time, reduce cost and increase productivity. He accomplishes this by showing your team members how to explore the skills they already possess that are not being effectively used and the ones they may not even recognize.
The goal of this workshop is to help team members learn how to use these skills to strive for excellence and gain a new view of the value they add to the team. The overriding result is to build a new sense of ownership through a totally new and unique view of what teams are all about. Through detailed analysis of these key skills, your team members will become more effective as the team benefits from the group of diverse skills. Members will learn how to utilize their strengths in full to compensate for each other’s weaknesses in a non-competitive process: a process that ensures each member fully understands the overall goal of the team and how their individual goals are an integrated part of the process.
Surviving Your Serengeti, A Safari to Discovery, will be available starting in 2010 in conjunction with the release of Stefan’s new book, Surviving Your Serengeti.
