What is the first thing you think of when you hear (or read) “team building”? Why does team building, whether you spell it as one word or two, have such a negative connotation to so many? For those who are naturally active and/or outgoing, team building is often welcomed with open arms; however, for those who are introverted and/or less athletically inclined, it’s often a cause of hesitation, fear, and anxiety. This month's presenter, Matt May, has learned that team building is more than just zip-lining, trust falls, and slide shows. His presentation will not be a stuffy lecture on why you should utilize team building or a list of activities to take back to the office, but rather, an interactive (yes, attendees will partake in some simple yet engaging activities) and lively presentation.

Attendees will take away the following key points . . .
• Why “team building” is not a “bad word”
• What positive team building experiences entail
• A removal of fear and anxiety around both the words, and acts, of team building
• When and how to host a productive team building experience beneficial to everyone on a team
• How team building may provide a “mix up” of roles, responsibilities, & leadership opportunities
• First and foremost, team building can and should be FUN!
