Provide Structure

What do I mean by structure?• Hosting retreats

• Retreats are in essence, “focused time on task”• Encouraging meaningful conversation

• Honesty IS STILL the best policy• Social gatherings

• Provide an engaging environment• Goal setting

• For the individual student, for the organization…GOALS are good

• Challenge courses & Teambuilding Activities• Push both individuals and “teams” to problem solve in

“adverse” situations and also provide parallels to be drawn between activities within an organization and on the individual level
