TRIP DATES May 28-30 2021
Ok all you leaders out there. It is time to mix business with pleasure in the most justified way – professional development through self awareness. We are making this happen in Rotorua this May. Come and spend three days hosted by us and focus on building your leadership skills, networking with other like minded people and getting out on the bike to blow off some steam. The best bit about it is it will make you better at your role within your business!
NZMTB is teaming up with the man behind Strategic Self-Awareness, Ashley (Cheese to most). He’s worked in some of the most adrenaline, heart pumping environments in the world such as the Outdoor Pursuits industry, through to years working with the New Zealand Army and now Fire & Emergency New Zealand.
Having worked with some of the most courageous leaders in the country He’s now got a pretty good understanding on what makes great leaders tick. But also he has uncovered the types of behaviors which make the truly great leaders amazing.
Cheese is also a bit of an adrenaline junky and loves to kayak and mountain bike – He saw this as the perfect opportunity to combine two of his passions to bring you this retreat with us, his good friends at New Zealand Mountain Biking.
Click on the days below to see what we will be doing over the weekend!
DAY 1 – May 28
Arrive Welcome BBQ
You will arrive any time from 12.00pm. We expect people to trickle in and we encourage you to poke your nose into the forest once we have put your bike together after the flight. It’s super easy, you can ride straight from the house. You’ll have time to check out a couple of trails before dinner! Our hosts from NZMTB will make sure the BBQ is fired up and the beers are cold on your return!
DAY 2 – May 29
Business, Bikes, Beers and a BBQ!
We’ll start the morning off with a full spread breakfast, and then kick into things with a leadership workshop.
Performing Under PressureÂ
In this session you will learn how to lift your game when the pressure comes on. The session introduces some basic brain anatomy and then some science based techniques to overcome the pressure and allow you to still perform to a high level.
- We look at brain anatomy (Amygdala and Prefrontal Cortex)
- Red Brain vs. Blue Brain
- Step Back, Step Up, Step In
- Can Control, Can’t Control and Can Influence
- Breathing
- Mindfulness
Lunch ready and waiting before heading out into the forest for a 3 hour ride.
You will spend your time on the more local and accessible tracks. There’s a little something for everyone in Rotorua’s Redwood Forest. The dirt here holds together better than anywhere in the world, and the area is packed with everything from tight and technical to flowy smooth fun. Whakarewarewa Forest is quite possibly one of the THE most amazing trail networks in the world and we will just be scratching the surface!
Later we’ll finish off the afternoon with a nice cold one and yes, the BBQ will be fired up again.
DAY 3 – May 30
Self-Awareness, Shuttles and home!
We’ll do it all again today, albeit mixed up a bit! You’ll start off with a another workshop focusing on Self Awareness
