Team Building: What is the first thing you think of when you hear (or read) “team building”? Why does team building, whether you spell it as one word or two, have such a negative connotation to so many? For those who are naturally active and/or outgoing, team building is often welcomed with open arms; however, for those who are introverted, and/or less athletically inclined, it’s often a cause of hesitation, fear, and anxiety. 

Learning objectives:

• why “team building” is not a “bad word”
• what positive team building experiences entail
• a removal of fear and anxiety around both the words, and acts, of team building
• when and how to host a productive team building experience beneficial to everyone on a team
• how team building may provide a “mix up” of roles, responsibilities, & leadership opportunities
• first and foremost, team building can, and should, be FUN!
