"Connection is why we are here. We are hard-wired to connect with others, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and with out it there is suffering."

~ Brene Brown

Do you design and lead team building events?

Have you ever wondered how to sequence your activities in a way that creates the most powerful learning opportunities?

In this free and interactive webinar, we will explore the critical importance of appropriately sequencing experiential learning activities so you can create the most powerful and rewarding outcomes possible for your group.

Learning goals for this webinar:

1. Discover a simple three-step, universally-applicable model for preparing groups for their 'peak' experience.
2. Understand what makes an ice-breaker an ice-breaker as distinct from any other experience.
3. Learn why having fun is the most potent tool available to facilitators to engage people and invite participation.

This Webinar will be interactive - - you'll be able to chat with our guest speaker and ask him your questions directly.  It's "just in time" training and development! 

About Our Special Guest

Mark is the author of the top-selling activity publications 'No Props: Great Games with No Equipment' and ‘Count Me In: Large Group Activities That Work.’ He worked as a Senior Trainer for Project Adventure when the business was first established in Australia during the 1990s. He now works as an independent facilitator throughout Australia, USA and south-east Asia.

Mark has recently launched a comprehensive online resource of play and adventure-based activities called playmeo.com, featuring activity descriptions, videos, illustrations & leadership tips for 100s of activities.

Mark has been struck by lightning twice, can’t back-up a car towing a trailer to save himself and has camped on the lawns of Australia’s Parliament House for three days (as part of a logging protest). He lives in Melbourne with his gorgeous wife Gilly and son Devon.
