The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world, make decisions, deal with information and organise themselves. It is probably one of the most widely used tools around the world. www.myersbriggs.org
The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) provides team members with clues about how to improve relationships; clues to who you are, who I am and how we can have a rewarding relationship. It gives clues as to why we behave differently when faced with conflict, how to identify these behaviours in others early and more importantly how to avoid getting in the situation in the first place. The SDI is our passport to understanding relationships within the team. Develop your Relationship Awareness®. Relationship Awareness® is a trademark of Personal Strengths Publishing®, Inc., publishers of the Strength Deployment Inventory® and companion instruments which are based upon the concepts of Relationship Awareness Theory. www.personalstrengths.co.uk
The Margerison-McCann Team Management Profile (TMSDI) is based on a self-assessed questionnaire producing a 5,000 word personalised report which focuses on your strengths within a team, relationships with team members and the way you prefer to influence and lead. Use the Team Management Profile to uncover your major and related roles and spread of preference and reveal untapped potential. By understanding who you are, you can appreciate how to be a better team member, how to help shape and lead your team and how to interact with others who may see the world of work in an entirely different way. www.tmsdi.com
In summary:
MBTI - Personality Preference tool for individuals and teams
TMSDI - Work preference tool for individuals and teams
SDI - Strength awareness and conflict management tool for individuals and teams
OUR Team Building experiences:
Choose from the following...
1. COMPASS NAVIGATION SKILLS
We teach the skills needed to successfully navigate your team across challenging terrain, relying on map and compass skills to find your way across the hills and moors. Shadowed at all times by Mark Reid and Richard Tarran, the team then put these new-found skills into practice with each person taking it in turns to navigate their team. Full day.
2. NIGHT NAVIGATION
This will take you out of your comfort zone – high on the moors with only a map, compass and head-torch to find your way! And with visibility of less than 20 metres, you are reliant on pacing and bearings. Again, we will teach the skills needed to successfully navigate your team across the fells and moors during daylight hours, then head back up to the hills at night where these new-found skills will be put into practice with each person taking it in turns to navigate their team through the inky darkness. Full day, into the evening. An experience to remember!
3. ADVENTUROUS HILL-WALKING EXPERIENCE
An adventurous and enjoyable day’s exploration of the hills and valleys where success and achievement is gained through shared experiences. All walks are tailored specifically for each group according to ability, aims and aspirations.
THE CHALLENGE OF NATURE
Our hill-walking experiences are NON COMPETITIVE. Competition divides and fragments, whilst our experiences bond and unite. It is the terrain, elements, hills and valleys, navigation, self reliance and inter dependence that are the challenges, where achievement is gained through shared experiences.
No artificial tasks, no games, no constructed courses, no gimmicks - what we offer is GENUINE, NATURAL AND REAL
Experience, fitness and gear:
EXPERIENCE
No experience required. Full training and guidance will be given. All participants will be guided or shadowed at all times.
FITNESS
All walks are tailored specifically for each individual group according to your needs, aspirations, experience and average fitness levels. However, a basic level of fitness and mobility is required as the natural environment can be demanding at times.
GEAR
We can provide full BERGHAUS walking gear, including waterproof jackets, trousers, fleeces, rucksacks, gloves and hats. We will also provide everyone with an OS map, compass and head-torch.
