#43: Melanie Reblin – (5+) Teaching Life Skills, Team Building with Roller Derby Athletes, Reading Your Group and Organic Programming

Melanie finds joy in helping her groups learn life skills like patience, giving them the opportunity to practice these skills in healthy environments so they have the confidence to use them on a regular basis. Whether working with roller derby athletes or middle schoolers, helping them “learn how to talk to each other is a good thing.” Chris and Melanie also explore her style of organic programming. From the time they “get off the bus” Melanie says, “I need to be able to assess what people aren’t saying and see what they are not seeing…I read all these things and then decide how to get started.” The experiences that follow? “That depends on the group,” Melanie emphasizes. “Every group’s dynamic is different…I’m there to see…what benefits these particular people on this day.”  We hope you join us!Find all Show Notes and Episodes HEREThis podcast is another facet in a network of resources being developed in an ongoing effort to help team builders, all over the world, learn and grow: OnTeamBuilding Blog - Conversations covering a variety of team building topicsFUNdoing - Activity Resources for Team Builders (Blog, Store, Trainings)FUNdoing Fridays - Bi-weekly email of activities (sign up form at this page)
