Previous Episode

In team building, N is for... ?

What struck ewe most from this episode - and why?

Into the 2nd half of the alphabet now with our A-Z series of all things team building, so we figured we'd celebrate with a competition.
And there will be opportunities to win EVERY month! More on this further on...
This podcast series continues to reflect on themes cited by our clients in their reviewing sessions, following their experience of herding sheep - Raising the Baa style.
Today's episode features topics beginning with the letter N.
Each episode of our A-Z series of team building lasts around 10 minutes - just right for a (sheep)dip into each of the topics.
Expect plenty of sheep/shepherd/dog references from Head Shepherd and Founder of Raising the Baa, Chris Farnsworth, in these short and lively conversations with Paul Warriner, our Lead Facilitator.

Next Episode

In team building, P is for....? (plus competition)

What struck ewe most from this episode - and why?

Provocative perhaps?
In this episode a couple of the themes beginning with P might seem a little negative in relation to building a strong team.

As with so many aspects of team dynamics however it's about balance. Yin and yan if you like. So long as a potentially negative theme is recognised, action can be taken to redress it to create a positive outcome.
In this series, the A-Z of team building, we continue to recall lessons learned by so many of our clients' team members following their experience of Raising the Baa. And punctuate it with a few insights of our own too.

Expect plenty of analogies from the world of sheep and dogs from Head Shepherd & Founder of Raising the Baa, Chris Farnsworth, in these short and lively conversations with Paul Warriner, our Lead Facilitator.

Enjoy - and thank ewe for listening :-)
