A Complimentary Half Day Program for Human Resource, Leadership Development or Line of Business Executives
BoatWorks is an experiential leadership development program which is offered by Group Experiential Learning in port cities throughout the US and several international locations.
BoatWorks leverages a non-racing, multi-sailboat format to get client teams gelling as they battle the wind, the currents, their collective anxieties and a special group challenge, all under the watchful eyes of a professional coaching staff. The BoatWorks challenge is similar to an obstacle course, but individual boats can’t go it alone. Success requires extensive collaboration between sub-teams via hand-held radios.
NO SAILING EXPERIENCE is required. Participants will learn only enough about sailing to navigate our Group Challenge Course. Amidst laughter, smiles and the exhilaration of wind and water, the group will hone team skills vital to success as well as uncover opportunities for improvement in decision making, leadership and collaboration.
This Taste of BoatWorks program is limited to 16 particpants. If you are interested in attending, please contact us at 888-GEL-TEAM or sign up via our registration page.
