LEARN WITH PLAY, LEADERSHIP & MINDFULNESS
|
Vision
All workshops and programs rely heavily on play as the tool for learning. Play allows us to tie our internal learning to external movement, creating more memory cells. Each workshop is centered in experiential rhetoric with a dash of mindfulness to help participants better understand the scientific reasons for reactions, habits and tendencies. With a little science lesson, both youth and adults will understand their why and then receive tools to handle what's next for optimal group success. Why invest in leadership training? Because it works... but more importantly, because EVERYONE matters. Hike & Heal Wellness has strategically created programming that is far from recreational. We live, breathe and teach with intention, helping inspire leaders from the inside, out.

Too Much Drama for Yo Mamma
Every team has some sort of drama. Families, work, sports teams, you name it! Whether you are talking behind others backs, creating sabotage, experiencing uncivil behavior or you have witnessed re-occurring unhealthy conduct, Hike & Heal Wellness can assist in creating peace and tranquility at the office. We facilitate direct dialogue to smooth out problems, learn to celebrate people's differences, turn frustration into humor, and learn new skills to aid in coping, prevention and support for the entire team.
Celebrating Your Inner Child
Need some new ideas? Are you looking to promote creativity and innovation? Well let's play! Too often we become stagnant in our jobs, doing things the easy way versus thinking outside the box and becoming more efficient and dynamic in our decision making process. Let Hike & Heal Wellness take your team to the next level by bringing them back to a state of doing versus analysis paralysis. This is a fabulous workshop for groups looking to laugh, celebrate and have a blast getting acquainted with their inner child.
Communication Breakdown
Has your team been struggling with communication? What happens when the sales team needs to get their message across to the marketing team? Do things fall a part? Are products being sent back because employees are struggling listening to the customers? Communication is the key - but it involves both speaking and listening. Our educational system focuses on regurgitation, speaking, and being quiet so the teacher can talk. We are trained to share ideas, but not to listen. Experience a fun, light-hearted workshop on effective communication where we dialogue about your team's communication breakdown and explore effective improvement strategies.
Turning Resources into Production
Does your company need to make some big decisions in the next year? Are you looking to become more efficient in process and production? Let us help your leadership team identify quality resources, and coach the teams they lead into ones that perform at efficient and dynamic levels. A two-day intensive program that is designed to make drastic company changes, this is one for the books! Company's undergoing this training will learn personal leadership, group leadership, coaching, mentoring and facilitation skills.
Trust the Process
Are you about to undergo big changes at work? Have you already? Employee buy-in isn't the easiest piece of the puzzle to gain, but it IS POSSIBLE. We will take your team through a series of focused, fun and safe activities that teach people how to first trust themselves and then the group they are working with. There will be time to talk about big picture ideas, company examples, while providing opportunities to plan and delegate responsibility. This is a highly beneficial workshop that is typically a full-day, six-hour program or is cut into two, four-hour programs.

YOUTH TOPICS AND THEMES

Transforming Bully's into Leaders
The overused buzzword, "bully," effortlessly floats around schools, the news and social media. "Johnny is bullying me!" is something teachers hear every day, even though they know that student wasn't getting bullied. This workshop teaches students the difference between bullying, teasing and being inappropriate. Students will walk away understanding how to better communicate their needs to adults, how to resolve common school-aged conflicts ON THEIR OWN, and what leadership qualities they need to start putting into action to prevent conflict. Students often claim they feel "tricked" into learning during this fast-paced, and engaging workshop! Inclusive language, cyberbullying and gender-based bullying can all be addressed.
Learn 4 Fun
A great follow-up to "Transforming Bullies Into Leaders," this workshop makes learning fun through interactive and hands on games using LITERACY! Too often we judge each other because, simply put, we do not understand one another. Literacy helps the students earn appreciation and respect through a nurturing of their friend's unique nuances and personality types. Students will learn a ton about themselves and others, providing an opportunity to grasp the concept of "accepting differences." Appropriate for a wide-variety of ages, this presentation brings light to learning and acceptance, and in turn helps prevent the mistreatment of others on a day-to-day basis.
Turning Plans Into Action
How often do you as teacher have to sit your students down, talk about how to make a situation better, and after 30 minutes of great insight and discussion, find yourself in the same predicament 2 hours later? Are you tired yet!? That's the time when you give Hike & Heal Wellness a call to give it a whirl. "Turn Plans Into Action" is all about accountability in moment, versus letting it play out and accepting defeat. Let me help your students understand the power of accountability, while learning how to avoid being "bossy, tattletales, and know-it-alls." We focus on how to empower one another and become coaches for our fellow classmates!
Motivating for Success
Students at times offer a lack of motivation in the classroom, outwardly in their friendships and in other areas of their life. As a teacher, you know it's important to figure out how to intrinsically motivate your students, sometimes a seemingly impossible job! Bring us in to deliver an impactful, 2-hour workshop that taps into student motivation to increase their overall success. We identify the obstacles that are getting in their way and literally rip through them which provides a metaphor for kids to move past those things in life that hold us back from our true potential. This is a great program for the middle of the school year and one that is even better with a guidance counselor present.
Sports Teams: The Mental Game
Athletes are expected to perform at their highest level physically, yet they are so mentally distracted by other things that it affects their game. Let our professional team have some fun with yours by engaging them in hands-on activities to provoke meaningful conversations to improve team function. Players will walk away with a better understanding of trust, respect, communication (on and off the field/court) what it means to be "teammate," how to think like a champion, skills to be an effective captain and so much more. These inspirational days are for players and coaches alike, as you get to see how much a team can improve working together over a short time frame. A must do for female sports teams! Play at the next level for male teams!
Re-Identifying Your Potential
Sometimes we lose sight of the potential we have. Maybe it's because people have been telling us we aren't good at things, we've screwed up a few times in our life, or our self-esteem is so low that we forget to believe in ourselves. This hands-on workshop will ignite something special in your group that seemed to be lost or non-existent altogether. Students will walk away empowered and re-energized after realizing just how talented and special they really are. We are amazed at every opportunity we get to work with students who are claimed to be "at-risk." They perform better in groups than one can even imagine! From ingenuity to caring and kindness, these groups inspire!
Leaders in Training
Are you looking to train students to facilitate retreats for their peers? How about starting a leadership club in your district that is countywide? Is your school in need of a leadership development program? What about starting a peer mentoring program for freshman or other underclassmen? We can help you! Hike & Heal Wellness designs curriculum to first teach leadership skills, and then teach the art of facilitation. Our aim is grand - to make a BIG impact that is felt school-wide, and sometimes even countywide on leadership development. We have found students often learn better from one another than they learn from adults. Let us help create that influence!
Empowering the Student Leader
This workshop aims to instill confidence and provide skills to help the student leader. Participants will walk away with a voice to be heard, and two ears that listen better than they ever have. They will gain creativity, purpose, passion and articulation. Our typical clients for this workshop consist of student government, residence life, business classes, 8th grade classes and Junior class retreats.
JEDI Minds
Do you like Star Wars? We do too. Master Yoda has provided quite a bit of wisdom over the years that facilitators at Hike & Heal Wellness live by. "Do or do not, there is no try." Participants will be encouraged to lead wisely and set themselves, as well as their peers, up for success the first time. J.E.D.I. Minds stands for Just, Empathetic, Dutiful & Independent Minds. Participants will have a blast using their imaginations to cultivate mindfulness using the dharma of Star Wars. When people think of mindfulness, often times they think of sitting down and meditating. Mindfulness can take many forms, and our perspective is that mindfulness and leadership are one in the same.... with just a little more attention on the breath. Kids will leave empowered with tools to better handle the ups and downs of life, as well as a better sense of self-awareness and personal responsibility.
