What if you learned that team members who are frequently exposed to a common ingredient display greater vitality and willpower, are less stressed and depressed, have a greater desire to be compassionate and supportive of others, achieve a higher mental clarity, and become more energized both cognitively and emotionally when working.
Not enough to be cheeky. The outfit I guide for does three or four a year. We put a program that is tailored to each group. They are great fun to do and it is wonderful to see folks enjoy being out, learning a new skill and catching a fish or two.
Love this perspective! You’ve got my mind turning on how to infuse this into our quarterly team days. We often do volunteering and connect with our community, but we haven’t done anything yet that is nature related.
150%! Might our disconnection from nature be the reason for much of our uptightness, rudeness (or general crass behaviour), antisocial behaviour, loneliness, even suicide, to narrow it to just a few? We forgot the most basic things, starting with conversation. We are now wrapped up in our little world, to the extent where sharing a greeting is too much work. Entitlement is king these days. Nature humbles us. I once climbed our third highest peak here, Point Lenana of Mt. Kenya, and realised how puny I am, all things considered. I feel we need many more such humbling to be better human beings.
I endorse this recommendation!
You certainly would, Tom! How many of your guided weekends per year are filled by organization off-sites?

Certainly could be combined. Thanks for your time reading and engaging, Josh.
