Yachtpro's Team Building
and Adventure Training Programs have been proven to promote and
enhance team building through:
effective communication
clarity of task and purpose
transmission and reception of direction and guidance.
identification and maximisation of talents and expertise.
trust and mutual support.
leadership skills and disciplines.
camaraderie and team spirit.
Sailing a yacht competently,
confidently and safely, requires a crew with both a shared vision
and common sense of purpose.
An efficient crew is one
that is communicative, coordinated and responsive to the action
of the sea and weather on their yacht.
The challenges involved in
mastering the new techniques and disciplines necessary
to complete the exercises stresses the importance and validity of
teamwork and leadership.
Each participant is required
to function effectively and cooperatively in close proximity
on the yacht. The group must function cohesively, bonding them
as a team with common purpose.
Each exercise will require
every participant (Excercises require each participant) to fulfil
his or her individual tasks cooperatively, and in coordination
with the rest of the crew, to ensure the desired result is achieved.
Should one participant experience
a problem, constructive assistance from the rest of the crew is
needed to overcome the difficulty and gain the intended outcomes.
The atmosphere of the new
environment at sea will find old habits put aside for a time, so
that different skills, strengths and perspectives will come to the
fore.
The “crew” will need to work
as a close-knit unit, focusing on new ways of tackling tasks and
planning to avoid difficulties.
The sense of shared vision,
will accelerate the learning process, enhance communication and
coordination skills, and highlight cooperative attitudes.
Fresh salt-tinged air and
the sound of water rippling along the yacht, bond the crew in genuine
camaraderie and ensure a pleasurable and exhilarating experience
for all involved.
After the exercises, the
experiences and challenges shared at sea bond the individual members
of the crew internally, and externally, with members of other groups
who have similar experiences at sea.
