Excitement and relief are the emotions I feel after successfully administering a staff training for my seven adventure staff. The direction of the program seems to be taking off and it would appear that those who I hired are now well suited and share in my excitement for starting upcoming adventure based counseling groups. There was much that was learned on both sides as an instructor and for the new employees.
I started off the week with an acronym for my staff, I told them "I want you to be the BEST staff!" B-bright, E-efficiant, S-supportive, T-trustworthy.
They seemed to respond well to this acronym and although the first few days were mostly theory and covering the local operating procedures, the latter half of the week was filled with ice climbing, climbing three challenge courses, learning the games and initiatives, learning new debrief techniques, and becoming high ropes rescue certified for our course.
When it was all said and done they were excited to apply their new knowledge. I was excited because I was on the road to the akron canton airport to fly to colorado! Stay tuned for all the details and photos from the whirlwind trip to Ouray Colorado. Prepare for takeoff!
