Team Building with Leader In U has a variety of different approaches. While all of them use the experiential learning format, each has a unique way of engaging teams and individuals to learning and success. Below you will find our most popular and effective formats. Any format you choose will be customized to your team's dynamics, objectives and goals.  

Ropes Course

The combination of a low and high ropes course enables participants to grow at the team and individual levels, exploring risk, leadership and communication. The low ropes focuses on collaboration, communication, trust and problem solving. The challenges call upon every member of the team to participate, providing unending opportunities for discovery, development, and practice of team skills.

The high ropes course emphasizes the value of risk-taking to create outstanding results, trust and team support. The challenges allow participants to expand their comfort zones and recognize fears that may block personal achievement. There is opportunity in every role and in every choice a participant makes to create tremendous, often life-changing value.

Leadership Development

For effective leadership development and team building, we must realize that every team faces problems in production and service, but the one question facing us all is: How do we excel beyond our competition and increase our bottom line. Unless you can train your teams to “Think Outside the Box,” let go of rival positioning and awaken each person’s ability to create solutions as a team, your bottom line will be compromised. If you are commented to your organizations team building success, then begin with what is happening between their ears and teach them how to be in relationship with one another in a proven system of authentic conversations, thinking strategies and innovation.

Equine Experiential Learning is a format that uses horses as active participants that help to facilitate the learning experience for the human participants. By examining horse behavior, and how the horses relate to us, we can better understand what may be more effective in our own human relationships.

EEL uses a team approach, bringing together a horse specialist, a trained facilitator and the horse, to assist individuals and groups. Through a collaborative learning process, people use experience and reflection to facilitate learning. The equine-assisted model helps individuals learn about themselves and others by participating in activities with the horses and then processing feelings, behaviors, and patterns, recognizing how these may relate to the workplace or at home. While EEL is related to other experiential programs, equine assisted programs have the added element of horses with as many different personalities and attitudes as the humans they are working with.

Our ground based Extraordinary Team program is a portable teambuilding format with the focus on the daily interactive skills necessary for high performing teams and individuals. The emphasis is on communication through a series of problem solving, collaborative activities. At the completion of each activity the facilitator will conduct a debrief session made up of questions and observations to support the transfer of the team’s learning from their interaction during the activity to their daily environment. The balance between fun and learning creates a highly effective program with a high level of participation and enthusiasm from the team. While the challenges do not demand physical strength or fitness, creativity and collaboration are required by all team members. We can work with you indoors or outdoors in a few hours, one or multi-day format.
