• Gold of the Desert Kings™

EXPERIENCE

Teams rush to compete against each other in this challenging race across the desert. Their goal? Battle the elements to get to the mountains to mine for as much gold as possible and return home alive. Teams are forced to be as productive as possible with limited time and resources. Participants will experience the benefits of teamwork, planning, setting goals and taking necessary risks.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Gold of the Desert Kings™ addresses the issue of effort versus productivity. Participants are placed in circumstances with limited time and resources and must rely on their team to achieve their goals. Without upfront planning and effective use of information, teams spend most of their time "fighting fires" instead of achieving productive outcomes. The pressures and anxiety experienced in Gold of the Desert Kings™ are similar to those experienced daily in a hectic work schedule. Participants contend with deadlines, a perceived lack of resources, others' points of view and the pressure to just do something while trying to accomplish team objectives.
