Participants will learn how to create intentional, high‑impact activities that address real team needs, including communication, trust, collaboration, confidence, resilience, self‑talk, and navigating failure. These experiences don’t require big budgets or elaborate planning. Instead, they rely on clarity, purpose, and a repeatable framework that connects activities to meaningful outcomes.
Rachel breaks down the science behind effective team building and demonstrates how simple exercises become powerful tools for growth when paired with intentional facilitation and debriefing. Attendees leave with a practical framework they can use immediately and a research‑backed debrief strategy that ensures learning transfers to real workplace behavior.

Grounded in science and backed by research, Rachel’s approach is both evidence-based and refreshingly fun. She believes that learning should be engaging, and she infuses her sessions with humor, energy, and real-world application—making mental tools not just accessible, but transformational.

This ALP Exchange session is an open, peer-driven conversation designed to surface questions, challenges, and best practices that don't always make it onto an Affinity Group meeting agenda—but impact nearly every leadership program.
Together, we'll explore marketing and how programs are attracting, engaging, and retaining participants and community support, including:
- Reaching the right audiences and building awareness in your region
- Messaging, branding, and telling your program's story effectively
- Digital tools, social media, and low-cost strategies that are working
- Engaging alumni, employers, and community partners as advocates
- What's resonating and what's falling flat
This is a collaborative space to share what's working, ask honest questions, and learn from fellow ALP members navigating similar decisions.
Come ready to contribute, listen, and leave with ideas you can apply immediately to your program.

Most teams spend time on icebreakers that are enjoyable in the moment but quickly forgotten. The problem isn’t team building—it’s team building without purpose.
