#4: Dan Creely, Part 1 - (40+ years) It's a What?, "I'm in!" Contract, Energy Ball, Chiji Cards, Power of Touch

Dan Creely is an early adopter of Adventure Education with over 40 years of team building experience and teaching team builders. He has directly educated over 30,000 people about the power and application of adventure ed. Dan was a co-founder of the T.E.A.M. Conference (Teachers of Experiential and Adventure Methodology) that was held for 25 years in Chicago to help area educators learn about and find support for their Adventure Ed programs. In this episode (Part 1 of 2), Dan shares his favorite activity ("It always works!" he says - this is not the name of the activity) and an unconventional prop he loves to use for closing a program - one that emphasizes the 'power' of connection. He also tells us about how he uses Chiji Cards to create powerful stories over a semester of working with college students and reads, 'Power of Touch' from Tom Smith - another lesson, so relevant today, on connection.
