We believe that Team Development is about:
Ensuring that we have a clear appreciation of your requirements is the key to having a successful experience at Hilltop. Through discussion we will gain a clarity and joint understanding of your aims and a feel for your organisational culture. We will then design a bespoke development program based on this information.
Linking your aims to our activities, we create programs that meet expectations and ensure an enjoyable, appropriately challenging and rewarding experience. We endeavor to deliver experiential learning experiences where workplace and personal metaphors are created and anchored.
We understand that our clients live in a fast paced world where time is a precious resource. At Hilltop, we have the luxury of a little more time and within our programs we encourage delegates to take time to reflect on their personal and team performance and then share with colleagues. Reviewing through team discussion, alongside a Hilltop tutor, is a vital part of all of our programs.
Our programs aren't set in stone however; we are sensitive to our client's needs. Throughout the duration we gauge delegate responses and engagement and will, with client agreement, flex the program to ensure all have the maximum opportunity to achieve.
Explore our programme elements by hovering over the options below.
Challenge by choice allows each person to be in control of his or her level of participation. It means that someone may choose to be totally involved in an activity, or may choose to sit back and watch, however it is not a simple 'opt in/out' as no matter what the level of participation an individual chooses, he or she is still part of the group.
Definition - Volunteering to be part of the group means contributing towards the group's goals and purpose. (The Challenge).
Each group member decides how they will contribute; these decisions are respected by the group. (The Choice).
We believe that by using the challenge by choice philosophy participants can find their own optimum level of development in a physically and emotionally safe environment.
The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) gives you an eye-opening glimpse into why people do the things that they do. People don't come along with 'user manuals' on how to get the best from them; SDI helps unlock what makes us tick. At Hilltop when you undertake an SDI program you experience a taste of how you can improve relationships and manage conflict - personally, professionally, and socially.
For nearly four decades, the SDI assessment tool has been helping people and organisations make business and personal relationships more productive.
It's a self-assessment tool that helps people understand what gives them a sense of self-worth and what's important to them when relating with others.
The power of the SDI is how it helps people understand, firstly, that we are all different and see the world through our own filters and secondly that we have different things that will trigger conflict for us.
It's a non-threatening method for dealing with the interpersonal conflict that is too often avoided.
