Like many organizations, you have probably used formal training programs. You may be wondering, “Are we making the most of every dollar we spend on training?” and “How can we increase the effectiveness of such programs and the application of the skills and knowledge gained so we can affect positive change, increase productivity, develop greater initiative and leadership models, and gain greater team commitment and ownership.”

Let Nancy Emerson and her certified surf instructors add value to your next corporate team building event in an Aloha Spirit.
Learning in the ocean and surf:
• Creates an atmosphere that is entertaining, relaxed, informative, and professional and allows any stress to disappear.
• Enhances relationships between co-workers through mutual dependency for outcomes and personal achievement during an activity that is challenging and enjoyable.
• Puts co-workers on the same level where chain of command, in a formal sense, becomes irrelevant.
• Lets co-workers see their peers learning and improving in a new endeavor where individuals can assist the learning of the whole team through coaching and mentoring for growth and development.
• Gives people a chance to interact at the beach and in the ocean so co-workers observe each other in different surroundings.
Through relationship building with Nancy and her team, participants will discover important lessons that can be applied to their careers, including learning to:
• Relax, breathe and let go of stress in one’s life,
• Trust their instructors and face and overcome their fears in a supportive and structured environment,
• Take calculated risks based on rational, logical and emotional experiences in a holistic way,
• Allow themselves to be guided by others and depend on others for success,
• Be patient while learning new ideas and techniques,
• Appreciate the differences between the strengths and weaknesses of each team member, and
• Observe how collectively the team becomes stronger through working together.
Learn surfing skills for business success – eliminate stress and enhance productivity
The more relaxed you are at work, the more productive and creative you will be.
It’s a chance for teammates to let their guard down, just be themselves and have fun, which is great for strengthening relationships between co-workers. The ocean can help you uncover your true strengths and areas you can improve on in your life.
Team building activities are integral to our business. We all know the benefits of increased productivity and the development of more open communication channels, but in 2005 I was challenged by my staff to find a fresh, creative, and stimulating avenue for our annual team building activity. Nancy Emerson’s Corporate Surfing Clinic provided the angle I was looking for. Learning to surf was the ultimate leveler, providing a fun, relaxed and educational environment that also offered a skill for life – ocean awareness. My staff have requested (for the first time) to repeat Nancy’s clinic in 2006. I would definitely encourage other organizations to choose this as a team building activity because I know how much they would benefit from it.

“I attended my company’s sales conference in Hawaii, back in 1996. As a team-building event, Nancy and her staff conducted a surf clinic for those who were interested.
“Nancy and her team of instructors were professional, informative and experienced surfers. They taught us proper techniques and stressed safety, but at the same time, made it a very enjoyable experience, especially for those of us who have never been on a surfboard.
“Whether it’s one-on-one or as a group, you can always count on Nancy for high quality instruction. Her experience as a professional surfer, effective instructional techniques and respect for the ocean make her lessons a valuable and unique experience.”
