It's that time of year when many facility managers are looking for great ways to keep their team performing at top condition. Team building activities can be a great addition to in-service agendas, but they only work if you have a clear plan going in. Here are some tips to choose a good activity to benefit your team: 1. Start with a clear objective. What do you want to get out of the activity? Is your goal attainable, relevant and something that will be reinforced long after the activity? 2. Match your goal to your activity. 3. Determine if the activity is right for your Team! Is a competitive activity right for your group? How much trust has already been established? What is the average age of your participants? How open are your Team Members to letting down their barriers? What are your favorite team building activities? #AOAP #AOAPAquaticPros #AquaticPro #Aquatics #Lifeguard #LifeguardLife #Lifeguards #LifeguardTraining #PoolManager #Summer #Swim #Swimming #WaterSafety

Imagine this: years of early morning and late-night practices, the rhythmic splash of water, and the intense focus required for backstroke.

Each stroke and each breath in the pool was a testament to pushing beyond my own limits. 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮, 𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙄 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙙—𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙮?

The cheers from my team on the sidelines underscored the importance of having a supportive team and positive work environment. True teamwork is about lifting each other up, working together, and celebrating our collective successes. So, how can we bring this spirit into our work environments?

Sheryl Sandberg famously said that the most important career choice you will make is who you marry. On this Father’s Day I want to celebrate all those Dads who are working to make their partners happy and successful in all that they do by taking part. Especially mine. First and foremost we are parents. And then professionals. It’s a team effort. The best team work there can possibly be. It is: -Making sure everyone shows up clean, fed and on time. -And that everyone leaves on time, with the right company, maybe not clean or fed���. -Making sure there is food. -Making sure there are (some) clean clothes🙏 -Being there when there is a tough moment. -Allowing the other freedom (especially overnight or when there is a great gig at the O2 (with Robert Evans for example) -Never, ever saying you have put on weight. -Always celebrating your successes. -Making the best fajitas -Managing admin for 3 schools and all the homework apps 😟 -Teaching the children to ski and ride a bike -Agreeing to home 2 rescue cats -Wowing the whole family with your unknown skills (like ice skating - who knew after all these years you can twirl on ice!!) We love you Stefan Beurier, happy happy Father’s Day!

𝗩𝟳 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗢𝗻 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘇 In Q4 of 2023, we set the V7 Team a goal... ...4 months to hit the biggest targets in our V7 careers to date - 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴! For them to hit their goals we needed 3 things: 🔥 𝗗𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Take every day as a new opportunity to achieve more for their clients and candidates. 🔥 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 Keep the internal fire lit - 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨! Results are best achieved when you're invested. 🔥 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 To not let one ‘bad’ moment hinder the success of the day, keep going and aim big(𝘨𝘦𝘳). The results? 𝗪𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱. Month after month we achieved better results, not only for V7 but for the clients and candidates we proudly work with! So, to reward the team's exceptional hard work and celebrate our successes, we jetted off for a long weekend to hit the slopes in France last week. Although some of the team were better than others at skiing (𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴... 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 👀) it was a great few days away to get us fired up for an even bigger 2024.

Loading 🔜 …Season 2024-25 💯 After post-season individual meetings, the High-Performance Team got together Wednesday night and did a group debrief on: (1) Last Seasons Training Plan - Pros & Cons 💪 (2) New Research & Insights From Team Advisors / Consultants ✍️ (3) Adaptations & Improvements for 2024-25 📈 (4) Goals & Team Expectations 🙌 Each skater has unique training needs & constraints but we also know, they move as a group. This type of candid, curious, group discussion is just one of the ways we work to cultivate the connection & camaraderie of a team sport. Yes, Speedskating is an individual sport, but groups of individuals rowing in the same direction go further & faster. #DASHSkating #TeamMindset #FurtherTogether #FasterTogether #Reflect #Adapt #Improve #AccessAchievement #Milwaukee #HereYouFind #Team
