At a recent team building event, members of the PBS team went to Earth Treks in Crystal City for an afternoon of team building. Staff participants had the opportunity to practice individual climbs as well as trust exercises as a team. The team activities in particular helped staff to tap into their skills of communication, listening and observation in order to meet challenges.
Not only did this experience help to build trust and rapport among the staff, but some staff members who were afraid of heights did their own mini-intensive exposure to help them overcome their fears!
