Finding motivation in the modern corporate landscape can be difficult. There are so many more challenges facing today’s professionals than there were even a few years ago. This can be very demoralizing.
If you are searching for a way to bring back the spark in your employees’ motivation or kickstart the drive in your management team, you might want to consider something a little off the beaten path. Someone nonconventional for the corporate space – like a Mount Everest motivational speaker – can bring the lessons of the great outdoors in to create a blueprint for a more motivated team.
What can the outdoors and their challenges teach your team about motivation? Maybe more than you think!
Community Building
People who spend a lot of time enjoying adventurous, outdoor activities – including camping, hiking, and more – also rely on the small communities that grow out of these activities. These groups may be no bigger than a few people or there could be dozens or more at campsites and park grounds, but the size of the group does not matter. What does matter is the way people interact with those around them, especially in leadership roles. The building of community through these interactions is one of the most important lessons an adventure athlete can share with your team.
The Importance of a Refresh
Ask any outdoor enthusiast and they will tell you one of their favorite elements of being in nature is enjoying the break from the everyday routine. This refresh in a new setting is important to regulate their physical and mental health, and it can do the same for your team. No need to book a campsite; your team can brainstorm ways to shake up their settings and give themselves this much-needed break together.
Trust in the Team
Does your team trust themselves to make solid decisions and solve problems together? What about individually? Do they trust their leadership team to bring them through difficult times? Introducing insights from a Mount Everest motivational speaker can relate the challenges of extreme sports like mountain climbing to corporate strategies, illustrating ways that your team can scale to the summit of success together.
