Sample Team Building Exercises

Does your company have an effective team? Do your managers communicate well with their employees? Does your corporate culture foster productivity? Does your company invest in the development of its leaders through team building programs? It’s easy to neglect questions like these in pursuit of a stronger bottom line, but in the long term the success of any business is dependant on its people.

We build stronger businesses by building stronger relationships. Our unique team building programs or exercises are designed to help employees, managers, and executives develop and hone important business-related skills, such as motivating others, setting goals, taking calculated risks, and communicating within a group. On an individual level the programs are enlightening. For the companies that participate in them, they’re the foundation for a cohesive work environment and long-term profitability.

Facilitated learning is…
Overcoming obstacles together. Thinking outside the box. Using resources effectively. The OWLS Executive Training Centers put participants largely in charge of their own team building programs, allowing them to structure courses under the watchful eyes of experienced facilitators. Together, facilitators and participants work to build a very powerful experience. This Action Reflection Learning format allows participants to tackle challenges that are important to them. It encourages them to develop their own goals and work together to achieve them.

Every OWLS program is custom-designed
There’s no rigidity here. Every OWLS program is dynamic and unique, designed to meet the needs of a specific client. We listen to what you want. We assess your needs. And we help you assemble a series of learning events, motivational sessions, and team-building initiatives that will create fundamental change in your participant group by using natural and man-made challenges in an outdoor environment. The following pages show the most popular courses OWLS offers. Most of our programs are made up of a combination of these courses.

Let us create a program for your group at NO Charge!
Our clients have different needs, so we have different course offerings. Choose a half-day ropes course, or sign your group up for a multi-day program with several components—problem solving initiatives, physical and mental challenge activities, leadership workshops, and rock climbing clinics, for example. Whatever your needs, we’ll custom-build a program that fits.
