THE POWER OF METAPHORS

 

The power of 3 metaphors. We can do it much more than we
think, we can do it. 

​

A powerful and remarkable commitment to a change of attitude.

​

"We can do it" is a complete training to unleash the potential of your team.

 

The training is formed by three challenges represented by three metaphors:  the Board Slam; the Arrow Step and the Ironbar challenges.

​

 

THE BOARD SLAM 

CHALLENGE

The board slam challenge is a 
metaphor about our attitude towards life. 

It is about the obstacles we face everyday at  home and work. How we face them and what we can learn from them.
​
By identifying their obstacles and  sharing with their peers, participants will have an opportunity to metaphorically  remove their obstacles by breaking the  board with their  hands.

THE ARROW STEP

CHALLENGE

The arrow step challenge is a  metaphor about our goals. It is about our motives and reasons to persist.
 
By identifying their goals and sharing with their peers, participants will have an opportunity to resist and persist,  snapping the arrow and  metaphorically moving forward  towards their goals.

THE IRONBAR  CHALLENGE

​
The ironbar challenge is a  metaphor about trust and  communication. It is about our 
relationships and truly listening to 
others.
 
Participants will have an opportunity  to choose a partner and perform the challenge in doubles. 
​
It is sucessful only if partners move  forward together bending the steel  bar. Thus communication and trust  are essential requirements.  
  
A powerful and remarkable  experience to make us trust our  peers.

“I had a blast at the We Can Do It team building event. The board breaking exercise was a great metaphor for overcoming challenges. The bar bending and arrow exercises were equal parts terrifying and inspiring. I never thought I’d be able to accomplish such feats, but with Mario’s guidance and the trust we build as a team (not to mention a healthy dose of adrenaline), I overcame both. We all left the day with a new sense of confidence in ourselves and in our team. A big thanks to Mario for an unforgettable day!”
