Shedding Light on the Plan 03/23/2011
With springtime quickly approaching and the smells of summer in the air, the topic of planning ahead seems to be quite suitable for this week’s topic. Many of us will soon attend work outings such as staff trainings, meetings, or conferences while others look ahead to more personal events like weddings, reunions, or vacations. Some of us may even have personal goals we are looking at accomplishing this warm season like exercise, fun, or jobs well done. No matter what it is that we are looking forward to (or maybe just looking at) there is an aspect of planning that must be considered so that we are successful and proud of what we have done.  I like to think of myself as a spontaneous person; one who likes to react to the moment presented. This works well when leading groups through a challenge course for example because we can establish goals along the way and react to how the group is functioning. However, Fritz told me one time that “those who are most prepared have the luxury of being spontaneous”. It was somewhat enlightening to think that when you look deeper at our preparation, it is only because we have a network of possible paths planned out that we are then able to produce a personalized route for our participants. Thomas Edison once said “Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets good planning.” So, I ask you this week: What do you need to plan for in the upcoming warm season; adventures, vacations, jobs, goals? -Tyler | AuthorsTEAM EFFECT, Inc.
