Imagine
the thrill of sailing a tall ship past Newport harbor
into the deep blue sea. The spirit of cooperation, shared
vision, flexibility, and speed of response required of
crew members 250 years ago mirror the key success factors
in the business world today.
Now,
imagine your very own work team participating in an exciting
team building adventure, sailing the Sloop Providence,
an historic replica of the tall ship once sailed by John
Paul Jones, through the Narragansett Bay.
Sailing
a tall ship is ideal way to develop personal leadership
and team building skills. It also provides a unique opportunity
to enhance your sense of team cohesion and reflect on
the real challenges your business faces in the months
ahead. The Providence Maritime Heritage Foundation has
created
a very unique team learning experience aboard the Sloop
Providence that will challenge your team
|
|
members to work in harmony with
others in confined conditions, to utilize one another's
diverse strengths, and respond to the unusual, unpredictable,
and sometimes challenging conditions of the marine environment.
Your
team will learn to set realistic expectations, communicate
effectively, make quick decisions, delegate responsibility,
coach one another for improved performance, and manage
conflict productively. They will work with you to design
a one-day adventure program that achieves your team
goals and addresses your key business objectives. 1-3
day programs combine highly interactive, shore-based
team building workshops with a sailing adventure that
allows your team members to "learn the ropes" and actually
sail the tall ship under the close watch of our experienced
captain. Sailing adventures are led by Joe Blotnick
of Team New England,
a corporate leadership training and development
firm, with a
proven
track record of
|
|
delivering highly
successful adventure team building programs for supervisors,
managers, and executives in a wide variety of organizations
from non-profits to Fortune 100 companies.
Joe
has over 18 years of experience in the training and
development field, extensive management experience,
and a special knack for reaching all leaders on a
personal development level through adventure programs.
The
Narragansett Bay and surrounding coastline provides
the option of sheltered waters, relatively short hops,
quiet anchorage's, and good food and accommodation
at a variety of first class hotels.
Previous
sailing experience is not required and one does not
have to be overly athletic to fully participate.
They
also design programs to complement or set the theme
for your on-shore business meetings, conferences,
and seminar
