Mentoring

What does mentoring look like? 


Is it shelter from the storm?
Being a living example of how one should live?

What do you think?

Whale Watch - Activity

Image
Hey folks! Sorry that this has taken so long to post. I've had a pretty hectic month of May (as I'm sure that most have). The last two weeks have been extra-special hectic because I broke my 4th finger on my right (dominant) hand and ended up needing surgery...a plate and 6 screws. Awesome! So it's taken me a little bit to get back in the swing of things with writing and typing. This next activity is a staple among my staff. When we have multiple team building blocks happening at once - this is one that is most often fought for. It's very simple but for obvious reasons - needs a physical apparatus to do. But it's value as part of a permanent program is very high Check it out! The Whale Watch Type of Initiative: Initiative Group Size: 5-15 people Equipment: The Whale Watch platform (or a balance deck) Objective: To balance the deck off the ground from the first person on to the last person.

Activity: Pru-e

Or at least that's how I spell it. This activity could be spelled "Pruie" or "Pruey" or however you would like to. It's one of the best activities that I came away with from the AEE International Conference this last October. It was presented by Chris Ortiz from High 5 Adventure. If you go to the right slide-out sidebar and hover your mouse over [check them out] and you'll find High 5 Adventure there along with some other pretty awesome links.  I did this activity in a group of about 80 so if you do this in a small group like 12, your experience will be very different than mine. I'll give an update to it when I've done it with some smaller groups. Activity Prep:   NONE! Isn't that great? I love no prop activities because it means that you can pull it out of your back pocket if you are seeing a way for it to fit into your programming.   Setting up the Field of Play This is a bit of a big one. In this activity, your participants w...

Activity: Finding Nemo

Merry Christmas folks! I hope that everyone had a wonderful day with family and friends and having some merry moments. As my Christmas day winds down I'm already looking at 2014 with anticipation. We've got some VERY big projects that will change and shape our current programs. I'll need all my staff to rally behind these new changes to make sure that these programs excel our expectations. Change is a funny thing, don't you think? People, much like animals, naturally resist change. So when we are confronted with change - we need our troops to rally. That's one of the only ways to make change work well. Now that the front-loading is done - let's get onto the activity. Though it doesn't deal directly with change - it does deal with reaching "Critical Mass". We'll get into what that means in the debrief. Here's the activity: Finding Nemo Number of Participants: 20 or more. Setting up the Field of Play : No props needed. Have part...
