Ask Michelle & Chris About Team Building

Michelle & Chris are up and running with the first episode of Season 3. The New Year gives us a chance to recommit to ourselves and our work. How do we plan to recommit? What will be your "word of the year" (or, word of the Month)? In what ways will you be able to "keep the fire burning?" Our work can be very challenging. How will we stay in the game  and show up as the best version of ourselves?

WOW. Episode #50! Thank you so much for sharing the adventure with us. As long as you're listening, we'll keep going. For the 50th, Michelle and Chris explore the idea of 'Wisdom'...it's like wine... (how so? head over to 50 and find out!). They share their first wisdom-filled books, mentors and resources they still tap into - wisdom is everywhere.

Join Michelle and Chris on a little 'crazy' rant (not too ranty) about individual and group behaviors that can push our buttons (and maybe yours too?). Since we've been seeing these behaviors for a while now, we also share some of our methods for moving past the crazy and onto the good stuff.

Join Michelle & Chris as they meander through a discussion about when to support a group, even if you notice that not everything is going well, and when to challenge a group - push back on the group when they are missing some learnings. Some possible answers float to the surface, some things are still open for discussion.

After a number of recent requests, Michelle and Chris share some of their ideas about how to start and take the journey into full time work in the adventure education field. The bottom line is all about experience - get yourself into companies and programs near you to build your skill sets. Grow your Adventure portfolio and save your program plans. Keep track of 'failures' (actually a growing part of portfolios these days) and how you plan(ned) to improve. All good steps to full time work.  Show Notes include links to Job Boards, training hubs and Associations that can help you move down the path.

Michelle and Chris share their thoughts about using consequences during activities. There are times when 'fun' consequences liven up the group (Opera Singer), and other times when more natural consequences focus in on the learning (a lower grade). It all relates to the purpose of the program.
