David Livingston teaches HR professionals how to Play Team
(GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO, FEBRUARY 10, 2006)
What do you get when you take a pile of swim noodles, a box of Legos, a bunch of mousetraps, and an assortment of Beanie Babies? Maybe the start of the most fun and effective team training you’ve ever attended. People learn by doing. Teaching through the experiential model allows people to practice, observe, and store as a memory how “the team” operates. This is not The 10 Steps to the Greatest Team Ever; unless of course “the team” discovers them during the training. David Livingston teaches the tools of Voice and Choice. These are the “first steps” on the path to enlightenment. Join David as he presents on February 15 at Two Rivers Convention Center on from 11:30 to 1:00. Cost is $13.75 and includes lunch. RSVP by to Terri Gird by e-mail tgirdwchra.org or phone 243-6505.
David Livingston is the Director of Experiential Learning at Hilltop Community Resources. He oversees Hilltop’s Experiential Learning Project (HELP). Beneath this umbrella operate Hilltop’s experiential learning venues: High and Low Ropes Courses, Portable Teambuilding program, Youth Adventure Program, Camp Kiwanis, the Bike Shed Teen Vocational Program and CHOICES Alternative School. David facilitates teams and groups of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and purposes, from corporate executives to kids, classrooms to canyons. He believes living is learning and it can occur in every moment. His core philosophy for learning “team” is: know the individual, develop effective processes and have fun together. The core elements of his approach are communication, trust, decision-making and problem solving.
Most meetings combine a luncheon with a one-hour presentation on a topic of interest to those in the Human Resource and local business community. Those who are interested in joining the organization may contact Fay Timmerman-Traudt, Director of Membership at 243-6505
