What is Orienteering?

At TLC it is a team activity where team members use only a map, compass, calculator and knowledge of their pace to travel a 22 point course as accurately as possible.
It is a way of learning survival skills.
It is an educational process.
It is a personal and team development process.

How does it fit an educational curriculum?

Math: requires application of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to very real and immediate problems.

How does it apply to corporate/organizational management?

Communication: The challenges of the course are solved by the team. There is a right answer. Learn active listening skills, “pairing and sharing” and consensus building.

Collaborative problem solving and trust building: Learn how the best teams work together to build a trusting relationship and long term success.

Students take a bearing

Teamwork: Understand the dynamics of team building, diversity, vision clarification and experience success.

Lost and Found

You are lost in __(supply your own metaphor, we are all lost from time to time)___________________ ?

lost

You can’t seem to find your way until suddenly help arrives, your teammates (support), a compass (sense of direction), a calculator (focus), a staff (courage), a map (vision). You are saved! Not quite!

Teammates are wonderful!

Tools are wonderful!...

but if you don’t know how to work with the first and properly use the second you are still just as lost as you were before.

At TeamLeadership Center we teach adults and youth in all types of organizations how to work more effectively with each other, how to value trust, build relationships and use the tools that we are given.
