Hands-on-Talent proudly presents:
The Ubuntu Expedition
A unique, intense leadership & team building journey |
|
Out-of-reference setting: Limpopo, South Africa |
|
Leaving a legacy with charity work |
|
Discovering the wildlife of Kruger Park |
Who is it for?
Your leadership team is performing well and you would like to bring the team to the next level |
|
Your leadership team is facing a challenge |
|
You have a brand new leadership team that wishes to be up and running as soon as possible |
|
Your leadership team could use a reset for a fresh start |
|
Your team has difficulty to discuss sensitive matters |
|
You would like to grow trust, commitment, accountability and synergy in the team leading to high performance |
|
Your team would like to develop leadership behaviours |
What will it bring?
One team feeling: After the Ubuntu Expedition you will fully understand the various personalities, leadership styles and the current team dynamics. With your peers you will decide how you wish to work together and what is needed to achieve your collective ambition that will lead to High Performance. Hands-on-Talent creates a safe environment for the team, in which you can speak freely about your feelings and challenges. Whatever happens in Africa will stay in Africa! |
|
Leadership development: You will work on what you can do differently to even better support the executive team and your own team |
|
Speed: One week investment versus various team & individual sessions over a longer period of time |
|
Momentum: No distractions, together you go deeper and further. Plenty of time to reflect, have 1-on-1 conversations and work in small groups |
|
Life changing: Being in the poorest region of South Africa, 9000 km away from home, working with the people in the townships will make a deep impact and will change your perspective forever |
|
Fulfilment: Meaningful charity work by building a food tunnel with your team, which will provide food for children will give you a warm feeling of fulfilment |
|
Inspiration: The Ubuntu Expedition offers lots of new theories, insights and time to reflect |
|
Excitement: The Ubuntu Expedition is not for the faint hearted: A long, sometimes bumpy (and beautiful) trip to Phalaborwa, bush walks (we could meet a lion) and the guts to be vulnerable in your team |
|
Relaxation: Work hard, Play hard: You sleep in your own rondavel, have plenty of time to balance your energy, to read, meditate, discover the region, go on safaris and enjoy the company of your peers |
Why Ubuntu?
Ubuntu meaning: I am because we are |
|
Ubuntu philosophy: Humanity towards others. Humanity is a quality we owe to each other |
|
Ubuntu ambassadors: Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu |
|
What can you observe in South Africa: There is sincere warmth with which people treat both strangers and members of the community. This explicite display of warmth is not merely aesthetic but enables formation of spontaneous communities |
|
The Hands-on-Talent philosophy: Enjoy the kick of High Performance: Carefully balancing humanity and output, making sure people stay fully engaged in teamwork while together performing at their very best |
