Having been part of a selected team trained by
outstanding Outdoor Training specialists (Fred Harburg, Eric D´Hont and
Steven Webster amongst others), here are some reflections and comments
about what can be achieved using those techniques. As well, you will
find some personal suggestions about the most suitable exercises (eg. The Paper Bridge ) for yielding the best ratio cost / effectiveness from Outdoor Training programs.

Many companies (...) have organized for their people jolly good days of
rafting, climbing, trekking (...) and so they have spent some serious
good time together in the countryside. But what remains at the end?

If I do not move, even just a bit out of my COMFORT ZONE, I have not learned anything.Every person has a COMFORT ZONE of different size and shape.The Outdoor is not a sports contest. You must never lead a participant to his panic zone. (...) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Que se passe t-il quand notre métier nous oblige à communiquer en
différentes langues, en différents lieux? Nous avons tendance à
travailler notre oratoire, mais ce n´est pas suffisant. En réalité c´est
la composante non-verbale de la communication qui transmet le plus fort
pourcentage d´information non-technique. (...) Si ma
communication est fluide, l'échange d'information sera plus rapide et
précis, ergo mon personnel sera plus efficient. Si ma communication
personnelle est "riche", cela affectera à la motivation de mes
collaborateurs et de mes clients (...): mes collaborateurs seront plus
efficients (ils travaillent à leur goût) et mes clients seront plus
fidèles (puisque je réussis à transmettre un enthousiasme pour cette
relation).
(...) nous nous concentrons sur la partie
non-verbale de la communication interpersonnelle directe, puisque c´est
celle qui consomme le plus grand pourcentage du temps que nous
consacrons à communiquer. (...) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
