Developing and Strengthening an Unstoppable Team

75-Minute Recording of Video Online Seminar on CD • Originally Broadcast July 31, 2008

As a student organization, it is essential that your members feel a sense of trust and togetherness. How do you begin that process? Most organizations kick off meetings with ice breakers…but which will work best for your group? And what if you’ve worked with the same group of people for awhile? What sorts of teambuilding activities can you use to get your team to work as a cohesive unit?

Attend this session and you’ll gain new strategies to create a welcoming environment where your whole group can get to know each other for the first time, or get to know each other again. You’ll recognize the importance of implementing teambuilding activities throughout the school year, and how it can increase your team’s productivity and creativity!
