THE BEST CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES

The best corporate team building activities with Terry Barkman

A sailboat is a great place to work on corporate team building activities and to see how your team is functioning together and where the fall-downs are in your communication.
The boat inherently sets up short feedback loops and we can tell if the things that we've asked for and communicating for are happening, we can tell how quickly they're happening, we can tell who's jumping in and being a team player and who's hanging back and waiting for somebody else to take the lead.
A big part of what a sailboat coaching trip is is it's a retreat. It is getting away from the office, getting away from even home, and being in a new setting that's beautiful and having the trees and the water all around you.
I feel like if you want to be the best version of yourself that you can be if you want to excel if you want to win at life, you should have a coach.

Doug: Well, welcome back listeners to another episode of Real Marketing Real Fast. Today we're going to take you in a different direction actually in a different vehicle. My guest joining me in the studio today is Terry Barkman. Now, Terry is known as the Sailboat Coach. Now before you think, "Hey, I didn't log in to this podcast to listen about sailing," just hang in with me for a few minutes. Terry's a visionary, entrepreneur, he's a coach and he's a sailing captain, and his mission is to create momentum and connection through shared outdoors so people feel empowered to impact the world in creative and meaningful ways. 

He was frustrated with the traditional limits of industrial coaching so he founded a sailboat coaching international company This positioned him as a thought leader in the emerging free-range coaching community. Sailboat coaching uses one week on the water to create space for learning and transformation and quality time with other visionaries. They also do team-building exercises that are over a couple of days. And when I first talked to Terry, he said something magical happens when a small group of adventures get together, set out on a boat to explore the winds and the world together. So SCI trips encourage clients to relax, rejuvenate by talking them through their ways of their busy lives. And this is kind of a sacred space that encourages deep, meaningful work for yourself and the next steps you might take in your life. So I'd like to welcome Terry to the Real Marketing Real Fast podcast today. Well hey, Terry, super excited to have you on the Real Marketing Real Fast podcast today.

Terry Barkman: It's great to be here, Doug. I'm excited to get into it. Let's talk real fast.

Doug: Well, I think the downside of a podcast is after spending some time on your website and looking at all those beautiful images and then enjoying some of the videos and the testimonials from your happy clients, whether it was pulling up a bucket or a net full of crabs or sitting on the beach having a picnic, I don't think a podcast is going to do what you do justice.

Terry Barkman: Well, thank you. Like you, I spend time looking at those pictures and dreaming of the trips that I'm about to go on, remembering the trips that we have gone on, but the great news today is that you and I get to talk about trips and team building and all the fun stuff, and that's fun, too.

Doug: So why don't you just share with the audience a bit more detail in terms of what it is that you do and who you ...
