Kalavati Team Building
Kalavati uses experiential learning to bring real life into the learning space. We will highlight the areas that are strengths in your team and give you the strategy and tools for the areas that need attention.
- Babe Ruth Kalavati's high performance team building approach is six fold: The Pie-RiRC Approach 1. Purpose: We are passionate about you finding your personal purpose and genius. The legendary Viktor Frankl, psychiatrist, and concentration camp survivor, did some interesting studies during his years in the concentration camp on the power of meaning. He found that people who had a clear purpose which gave meaning to their lives, were far more likely to survive, and retain some level of humanity during times of horror, than those who did not. If you are unsure of your why, your motivation levels will be low. And, when you know your purpose, you will discover the genius within you. The team also needs to know its greater purpose. Each individual needs to have clarity of personal purpose and meaning and share in the greater mission and vision of the team. Apple founder, Steve Jobs, talks to students about how important it is to love what you do. He suggests you don't stop looking until you find the 'thing' that you love.

An instinctive modus operandi that determines not what you are capable of doing, but what you will and won't do. Each person is unique. If each team member draws on his or her instincts, performance will be high. Team building requires picking the right people with different instincts. There is a simple assesment you can take online that will tell you what your natural talents are. This is a unique test that is used and recommended by people like Robert Kiyosaki and Blair Singer. Take the Kolbe A™ Index3. Relationship to others:
People in your team are a mirror. An image of yourself. They reflect back to you parts of yourself that you deny, parts you hide from view, or parts you have lost. They show you the points that need healing. That is why the people who trigger or hurt you the most, offer you the greatest opportunity for growth and expansion. They also teach you assertiveness, patience, compassion, self respect. As the saying goes... '...We teach people how to treat us.' Teams have group patterns of behavior and... ...'Problems cannot be solved by the level of awareness that created them.' - Albert Einstein Team building activities need to teach people to solve problems at different levels. 4. Teams develop roles: Team roles play off each other and create the 'other'. Soon an 'us/them' conversation emerges. Yet although the roles are bigger than you, you are bigger than the role. If, for example, you hold the role of initiator very strongly, another role that holds back and wants to stay the same, must emerge to provide balance. This is called the law of polarity. Keep your eyes open for more on this coming soon. Kalavati team building games are designed to reflect roles and patterns that emerge in the workplace. The team building activities are able to assist team members to consciously use and change roles to enhance each other's performance. 5. Interpersonal skill:
Skills take people a long way. Individuals and organizations don't pay enough attention to this area. You need plenty of practice and patience. Attending one course simply isn't enough. When you choose courses, be sure to look for ones that are highly experiential in nature. The more time to practise the easier it is to apply. 6. Embracing change and stress: If you learn to manage stress and to flow with change, you will enjoy the challenges and ride the waves of the tough times. Your contribution to the team will be dynamic, not stressful. 7. Code of Honor:
The single most critical tool in building cohesive teams, organizations and even families. This system has never been taught or explained before but is the unspoken essence of all high performance groups. Learning how to create, maintain and enforce the code will guarantee proper hiring, reduced staff turnover, exponential performance and harmony.
