Put the "Clown School Challenge" and "Games with a Purpose" to work for your Company using Team Building to do Volunteer work in the Community! The "Give to Get" Concept.
This course will also enhance the exterior relations of
your Company. Each year companies spend billions of dollars on external
relations. Philanthropy has decreased in recent years as money has gotten
tight. Because people are busier and have less personal time volunteer work has
suffered and our children have suffered as well. What if you could multitask by
learning to think out of the box and learn volunteering skills that
would:
1. Build business skills with team building
2. Improve community relations by providing volunteering skills
3. Learn skills for part time work on the weekends as they do volunteer work and
public relations in the community and for your company picnic.
For the price you would pay for entertainment for one Company Picnic, you could
train a clown for your facility.
Loneliness and separation are
the biggest destroyer of success, lets us make an atmosphere where relationships
and friendships can develop and employees can soar. The Clown School
Challenge promotes team building with " Games with a Purpose". Your
can use the employees we train to
promote good community relations when they volunteer to participate in community outreach
programs at malls, health fairs, schools, hospitals and community functions.
You can also use your trained employees to entertain your employees and their
families at Company functions such as picnics.
Hanna Banana, known as the Queen
of Hearts, is the most famous
female clown in the world, know for her loving kindness. She
teaches Clown School held at Circus Circus in Reno and Las Vegas, NV. People
come from all over the world to be taught by her. No one else
can compete with her,
she is at the top of her field .
You could say
she is the "top banana". She wants everyone to be all
they can be. In the process of developing your clown
persona, you will find your true self.
Through games and play we learn to live in peace with
each other and feel good about your life.
Clowns are about acceptance of everyone. We are all different and unique and have different talents and abilities to contribute to others and the world in general. Many times being yourself is difficult as others try to make a unique individual conform to what they think is acceptable. All must realize that not only is it OK to be different it is divine. Together all the differences make a better world.
Many companies have spent a lot of money on team building
only to have it bomb. People don’t want to play games to let others know them
better, they feel their privacy is being invaded. Adults don’t want to be
forced to play games but left on their own and not controlled, forced or
regulated , we have found people will volunteer to participate. We provide an
atmosphere where they are free to interact in our team playing workshops and want to do it.
No personal questions are asked. Our teambuilding workshop is non threatening.
This is my proposal. You will never have to hire an
entertainer again for when we are done with our team play you will have the
benefit of 3 trained in house entertainers! Your in house entertainers can
perform at:
1. Company parties, picnics and other activities
2. Sent to entertain at one of your favorite client's activities.
3. Be a part of your cities activities such as the Christmas parade.
Your employees, besides having a blast, will gain the
following benefits:
1. They can use their skills to help others.
2. They will learn how to truly listen to others.
3. They will learn to care about others and not just themselves.
The Clear Objective of Team Building is to Develop Listening Skills!
Don't be a bulldozer, we need to listen to others to have peace in our life. Listening involves more than our ears, it involves using our heart to truly understand what the person means with the words he is saying. We must not try to control people but need to let them do what they will. When you are listening with your heart and not controlling others, you will live in peace. According to Patricia Evan in the book "Controlling Relationships", "It is if you erase people, actually destroying people when you don't really hear what they say." When you roll over person and do what you to do to them it is called oppression. I call this kind of person a bulldozer. Let's call it what it is, it is abuse. Abuse destroys a person, leaves them exhausted ands drained of energy. It causes stress, physical pain and can lead to battery and possibly death. It certainly does not make for a happy productive workplace.
You may say you do not have time to really listen to everyone and try to understand them. How much time does it take to correct all the mistakes that occur because of your lack of care and not truly listening to everyone? How much does it cost your company because your employees are physically ill because their psychological boundaries were violated all the time? How much has rudeness and lack of consideration for employees cost in lost production and increased product costs? Do your employees volunteer to help your customers and others?
Here is an true example of not listening to what a person is saying. A man shows up at the door of a single lady's house. He says he is selling a subscription to the local newspaper. He is trying very hard to get her to let him into her house. She is concerned and calls 411 to get the number of the police department and the number of the Circulation department of the newspaper. The operator gives her the number of the Editorial Department, which is closed until the next day, and the a number at the police department that was not manned at that time. Is this good work? Had the man not chosen to leave this incidence could have had a tragic ending.
I have the solution for you. I will come to your facility. I will divide the group you select to be involved into teams. They will learn to problem solve, learn to really listen to others, and learn to care about someone besides themselves. They will chose, as a team, to make one person shine. To make that person a star just like at clown school. Then the stars from each team will compete for First, Second and Third place. Your Company will now have 3 trained people to represent you in any way you see to use them. They will have a new skill that could earn them a place in the community as a volunteer or part time weekend clown. Your group will have new listening skills that could change their lives and your Company's productivity and maybe even save someone's life.
