Sweatshop takes the Out Perform challenge




Tuesday to Thursday this week found 15 staff from running retailer Sweatshop in the Welsh hills on a leadership and communication training event with me. The weather varied between benign sunny and dry to torrential rain and howling winds. Normal weather for Wales! The teams were put through a series of tests and challenges including a wild camp experience.

The guys did a great job with all the event had to throw at them and so far the feedback has been very pleasing. From the very beginning the two groups (I was supported by two other trainers) really worked hard and put their shoulders into the many and varied tasks they had to complete.

The weather played its usual tricks with 50 mph wind and rain on the summit of Carn Fawr! Thursday turned out dry and the work we did on 'silent communication' went down very well indeed. It is so important to ensure that information is received and understood as well as given!
