“share, care, communicate!”
for the ultimate balance between success, productivity and HAPPINESS!
WALK. Don't RUN!
Key to ALL Rick's training is the principle
that delegates learn most when
ENJOYING THEMSELVES!
And that people of any age / level of
fitness can have FUN and as a result
learn MORE!
And Tasks should always be tailor-made
to the needs and wishes of the team
so that, with good teamwork, volunteers
do the more physical tasks while all can
help with planning and, for example, enjoy
a treasure hunt!
“In important and urgent situations slow down” (epigram 51 from THINK ABOUT IT!)
BRAIN over BRAWN!
Also key to ALL the training that Rick and Impetus have ever designed is the principle
Delegates Learn Through RELEVANCE!
Practising SKILLS that are needed in the real world - planning, listening, negotiating time management - can be positioned as relevant - but because it's NOT real life, it can also be made stress-free and FUN!
Teams that take their time to think and plan will do better than those just rush off - the “Pragmatist” will always do better than the “Impetuous” - see Profiling (Teamworking)
Exploring and Investigating Options
Click on any picture to bring it to the front and expand and rotate it as you wish. Then double-click it to play a slide show of all images.
Whether an invesigative activity is an end in itself or, as is the case in many Impetus Tasks, just one element (usually part 1) any can be made quite simple or very challenging and our range of options (see below) can all be modified and adapted to the needs and wishes of a client and their participants.
It's all about the MONEY!
Using Impetus money, there are almost limitless ways to personalisie a treasure or scavenger hunt: as much as possible - to WIN; to buy other resources; find a planned amount; a random search; a route to follow; photo clues, etc.
Competitive or Co-operative
A free-for-all, with teams given the same clues; or one route with teams going in opposite directions with same clues, with option to collaborate eg halfway round.
Search - Collect, Observe, Prove
It doesn't have to be money teams are looking for, of course: given photo clues, or a map, or cryptic clues, teams try to complete a questionnaire, or bring back items to then exchange, eg for food!

Getting to Know You
Time Management
The time constraint (with bonuses and penalties) has two uses - teams have to discuss and plan their strategy AND the course agenda can be adhered to!
It's all about Photography
The smart phone is a wonderful aid! Teams can be given the most challenging of outings, eg, go to the top of a mountain and take photographs to prove you've made it; teamwork can be also enhanced by teams splitting up (with strict safety constraints) and "competitive" teams could negotiate and co-operate.
"EMULATION" photos are very effective. In some of the pictures opposite delegates can be seen carrying pages of images which they need to emulate as closely as possible - eg of a team member with a goat!
Teams can be selected to mix people who don't know each other, or who haven't met for a while, or who need, going forward, to work together more. They work together for results AND a research element could be to learn about each other - hobblies, interests, phobias, ambitions - and maybe introduce each other to the group with a formal presentation! "I am proud to introduce Mary ..."!
It's all about Knowledge
Explorations can be educational - eg, delegates need to visit museums, or information centres to complete a quiz. Or, armed with clip boards actually interview people!
