Leadership and Team Building Workshops

The Leadership and Teambuilding Workshop is designed to promote effective interpersonal and team-related skills, to aid in character development and leadership skills, and to strengthen both individual self-esteem and group cooperation. Workshops are offered as mini-sessions (1-1/2 hrs), half-day (3 hrs) or full-day (6 hrs). All workshops end with debriefing, which gives the group time to reflect and comment on observations, challenges, successes and failures of group efforts throughout the workshop.

Mini-Session (1-1/2 hrs)               $6/person

Half-Day (3 hrs)                               $12/person
