CORPORATE
Nathan was race Director for the Eco Seagate, a 5 day Corporate training event. I captained Team Seagate - the professional adventure racing team for 3 years. Many Seagate staff are adventure racer's and as a result Seagate Technology Corporation adopted Adventure Racing as their vehicle for teaching the companies values and mission. Seagate saw many similarities between Adventure Racing and Business.
* Both are highly competitive
* Both have clearly defined failure and success
* Superb teamwork is vital
* Leadership and communication need to be exceptional
* Risks are high - 'get used to it'
* Second chances are rare
* Honesty & morals are needed, the temptation to cheat is near
* Both require a high level of committment
* Passion and skill will bring success
* The challenges are of epic proportion
* Preparation must be excellent
* One must believe the seemingly impossible - can be done
Seagate brought 200 staff to Queenstown for 5 days of adventure training and racing which was combined with business focused work shops. My job along with my 35 staff was to run 4 half day adventure training sessions in mountain biking, kayaking, hiking/navigation and ropes. The peak of the week was a one day adventure race where 40, five person, mixed teams of Seagate staff battled it out on a purposely designed race course. The winning team took 5 hours to complete the event with the last team coming home in just over 10 ... with huge smiles. The event was a huge success.
While this was a major event, the concept can be adapted to any Corporate group and an event for any size, ability and budget can be custom designed.
Please contact me if you have any further questions. Nothing is impossible ... it may just need some caffeine to figure it out.
