Introduction

Building a highly productive and unified team requires a willing team and a clear plan that defines how the team will break out of its comfort zone, reflect and leverage its strengths, and work through opportunities for improvement. CMOE’s outdoor team building and team development experiences enable teams to work through practical issues and critical challenges in order to achieve greater productivity, growth and unity.  This approach helps create a safe and productive environment where members learn, explore and have open and courageous conversations about strategies to enhance team effectiveness and group dynamics which will produce positive chemistry between team members and drive performance results.

Experiential and Adventure Based Teambuilding

CMOE’s outdoor team building experiences and learning events are tailored to the specific needs of each client. The customized program reflects the important considerations, objectives, and deliverables the client has in mind. The following framework will serve as a guide in developing or selecting the final agenda and experience.

We have a very diverse group of personalities on our leadership team. Steve Stowall and his associates did an excellent job working on team building skills and individual couching for some of the members. I would highly recommend his team. — Anne Psencik
