Coaching,
Trust, Communication |
This
is one of the most powerful and, ironically, one of the simplest
events.
Trust Walk is about leading, following, trusting and communicating.
Many
leadership styles emerge during this event. Some find
it difficult to be responsible for another person’s safety
and others find it exhilarating. To trust or give up control
can be very hard for some people.
A
glimpse into Trust Walk
After
pairing up, each individual takes turns leading the other
person through obstacles and overcoming adversity. While a
very simplistic activity, many people find it difficult to
trust their partner and find they will 'cheat'.
Because
it is so simply, very few people take the time to strategize
or find out exactly how far 'X' number of steps is for their
partner. This create the scenario for a great lesson in coaching
-- we need to communicate with other people the way THEY hear
it best, not the way WE hear it best. This is an activity
every manager should master before going back to work!
With
several variations, you can run this activity with both pairs
alone and then all the pairs together at the same time to
create a completely different level of communication.
Who
should buy Trust Walk?
Trust
Walk is perfect for a group who must instruct or direct anyone.
The need for good, clear communication in a style that the
receiver will hear best is a VERY difficult concept to practice.
You can tell someone all day long in the classrooom, but try
and actually do it. We instinctually refer back to what we
know -- that is our default. As supervisors, educators, managers,
we need to be sure we are communicating in a way that the
recipient will understand it.
Whatever
the experience, the Trust Walk is a powerful learning opportunity.
Do not let the cost have a negative impression about the potential.
This exercise is a great way to start or finish an event,
meeting, workshop or any other function in which it would
be valuable for some self-examination and how you impact your
group or team.
We
do not recommend driving any motorized vehicle during this
event.
