"Collaboration  Communication Connection Alignment & Resilence are some of the key capabilities that organisations are looking to develop in their teams and leaders.  Rather than "sitting in a class room", the learning takes place on the waters off Sentosa.   As a Leadership Facilitator & Coach, I have partnered with Canoe Academy to deliver an enriching and fun and active learning experience through paddling.   Teams of 5, together with a Canoe Academy professional paddler, quickly learn the technique of paddling and the power of working together to drive the outrigger canoe through the water.  To add a competitive spirit to the activity, a series of races are organised and here their capacity to communicate & motivate each other and to "give that little bit extra" is encouraged.  What I really like about this experience is everyone can participate - it embraces all ages, cultures, gender and all other diversity lens.  Furthermore participants will tell you, the learning's are rich for them as an individual and as a team, they re-energise by being with nature out on the water and it creates great connection with others and a huge amount of fun!  "
