Experience The Gold of the Desert Kings workshop. This must-attend event is for ALL MEMBERS, as well as prospective members.
The Experience
Teams rush to compete against each other in this challenging race across the desert. What’s the goal? Battle the elements to get to the mountains to mine for as much gold as possible and return home alive. Teams are forced to be as productive as possible with limited time and resources. Participants will experience the benefits of teamwork, planning, setting goals and taking necessary risks.
In this interactive session, our members will get an impression of the power of experiential learning. Using this technique in training can facilitate training transfer. Participants get the opportunity to bridge the gap between theory and practice and build conviction to use the learned skills in the workplace.
Overview
Gold of the Desert Kings addresses the issue of effort versus productivity. Participants are placed in circumstances with limited time and resources and must rely on their team to achieve their goals. The pressures and anxiety experienced in Gold of the Desert Kings are similar to those experienced daily in a hectic work schedule. Participants contend with deadlines, a perceived lack of resources, others’ point of view and the pressure to just do something while trying to accomplish team objectives.

- Improve the decision making process
- Make strides toward transforming a group into a team
