#32: Sam Sikes - (35+) Foundations for Leading Teambuilding Activities, The Magic of Experiential-Based Training and "What did you learn about each other?"
Feb 19, 2026 Season 2 Episode 32
Dr. Chris Cavert Team Building

Has anyone ever asked you, "How do you lead a team building activity?" Chris has fielded this question more than you might imagine. "Not exactly a soup question," as Forester would say. 

In this episode, Sam and Chris discuss some of the foundational aspects of what to think about and do before leading an activity, for the first time or, really, any time. Chris also shares his top 'starter' books and Sam adds other book recommendations to help new facilitators. 

We hope you join us!
