In this innovative program, Impact Leadership Development Group and
Habitat for Humanity International (HfHI) invite your organization to
develop high-performing teams while making a significant contribution
to your community. For those whose core values include leadership/team
development as well as corporate social responsibility, Teambuilding
through Homebuilding is a unique training opportunity, with measurable
benefits in both arenas.
Many clients who find value in experiential learning have expressed the
desire to leave something behind, to give back something of value to
the community. Similarly, HfHI donor organizations, who report
spontaneous learning when intact teams volunteer to build a home, have
requested professional facilitation to optimize that learning.
Teambuilding through Homebuilding is a response to both needs.
Using Impact's proven methodologies, your team's functioning is
assessed on several dimensions, and a custom program is designed to
meet your specific needs. Programs provide theoretical and psychometric
foundations in classroom sessions, alternating with extended periods of
construction. Conceptual and action learning are synergistic: ideas are
implemented on the worksite, and work experiences are debriefed to
capture key learnings. Through building together, your team gains a
refined understanding of its strengths and developmental challenges.
The training concludes with the creation of a Team Development Plan,
with assignments for each member. Follow-up services include individual
and team coaching, and assessment of program impact.
Programs are generally three to five days in duration, and are done in
cooperation with one of HFHI's 1600 U.S. Affiliates, or with an
Affiliate in one of the more than eighty countries where HFHI builds
homes around the world. Your organization may choose to integrate its
program into an existing project, or to fully sponsor a Habitat house.
With full house sponsorship, increased public relations benefits
accrue.
