Welcome!

 

This is the web journal for the 2015 GEAR UP Parent Training Workshop.

 

This year's event included participants from across Region One. This web journal documents the content and happenings of the program.

 

Our focus in this workshop was on three things that build successful communities:

 

  1. Sharing Resources
  2. Collaborating for better results
  3. Healthy competition

 

 

A summary of the event can be found below.

 

Thank you for being a positive force in your communities.

 

All the best,

 

The GUFE and Region One Team

Building Community

Lessons from Vertical Limit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Vertical Limit challenge clearly demonstrated some critical leadership skills:

 

Share Resources

When teams joined forces, they accumulated human and physical resources. This gave them a distinct advantage over the other groups. They had the ability to build faster (more hands) and the resources  (more cards) to build a taller structure.

 

Collaborate = Accelerate

When you work together you increase your ability to generate ideas. These ideas are the fuel for progress.

 

Don't compete, just win.

Never focus on the other team. Instead, focus your energy on doing your best work.

The Keys to Building Community are critical to the development of healthy communities. Imagine if we lived in a world where everyone knew these and lived by them?
