Teambuilding and Effective Peer Support

This one day course will encourage participants to recognise and celebrate each other's strengths as team members.

Through key texts/handouts, group exercise and reflection we will work to build a shared understanding of what constitutes effective teamwork drawing on past and present experiences of all participants.

We will explore stages of teambuilding and group development referring to the work of Tuckman, M.Scott Peck, Daniel Goleman and others.

Participants will be encouraged to reflect on notions of personal identity, how they were arrived at and how they influence performance and interaction with others. The training provides the opportunity to review "who we are", or might be, and to discover previously untapped potential.

We will make clear the distinction between inclusive and exclusive community and look at different styles of management and leadership.

The group will have the opportunity to begin to build a supportive and encouraging working environment, establish shared aspirations and set realistic and well formed targets for future development.
