Creating and conducting team building workshops is a hard work that needs a lot of skills. In order to make it better, it is good to reflect. So here we would like to give a piece of advice on how we can improve our skills in conducting workshops.
- It is obligatory for the audience to be quiet when the conductor is giving instructions,
- The speaking person must speak loud and ask the group if the instruction is clear. If it is not, explain one more time,
- It is good to show how the workshop is working before actually starting to practice,
- In international groups people from one country can help each other to understand the instructions clearly,
- In the group of new people it is advisable to repeat each other's names before starting the activities,
- We need to 'wake up' the group before staring the activities, thus we use sport games called 'energizers',
- The conductor must not scream during giving the instruction when the group is too loud. It is better to stay quiet and wait till the group calms down,
- Before starting giving the instructions, you need to check the area if it is good and well-prepared for your exercise,
- Be sure that people in your group have comfortable conditions to perform the activity,
- Before helping the conductor, make sure that your advise will be relevant and will not disturb him or her.
However, the main advice for you is having fun and socializing.
