Personality Profiles / Team Building Recap: Session I

As another school year begins so does the 2007 - 2008 Sessions of Network New Ulm Youth Leadership Program. The first session was on Wednesday, September 19. This is the second year of our juniors-only program, and it looks like it will be a great group of kids, assuring an eventful year!Traci Green of Brown County Probation and Lynn Gudgeon of Koeckeritz Realty served as Day Chairs. They began the morning with an overview of the program.

The morning session consisted of Personality Profiles and adjective name-game icebreaker. We will never forget Mountain top Mitch. The personality profiles gave us more insight into the makeup of the group. There were a lot of Oranges and Blues, who always have a good time by nature, but the Greens felt lonely as there were only two; so they choose to dazzled us with their vocabulary skills. Luckily, the Golds kept us on task!! Katie Rasmussen of the University of MN Extension Service Brown County facilitated the profiles session.

Other Alumni in attendance that morning were Steering Committee Members Lisa Roeder of Skillings Technology, Duane Winter of Taco Johns, Shawn Jakes of ComCast, Julaine Balbach of Farasyn Construction, Kathy Van Roekel of New Ulm Telecom, and Shannon Hillesheim of United Prairie was our New Ulm Chamber Representative.

Rick Rassier of "Jump"was our team building facilitator. His motto: Attitude Determines your Altitude! He lead the group in several different team / leadership drills with discussion after each activity. We played with marbles, dodged balls with blind folds, went skiing and learned new tricks with string. The afternoon was filled with excitement, team building, FUN and best of all a few new T-shirts! Most important of all was the start of our “NETWORKING” with the others schools. We will continue to explore new opportunities, challenges and the ability to learn more about each other as the year progresses.

The next session is Education and History and Culture on November 9, 2007.
