These teambuilding programs are implemented at a summer camp I volunteer at and I\u2019ve seen first hand the bonding and inspiration campers gain through them. However, I was unaware the same would happen to an adult staff.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of communication proved to be the first lesson of many I learned in those two days, especially through the first high ropes obstacle, which essentially looked like a telephone pole with artificial grips for the hands and feet.<\/p>\n<p>After seeing other co-workers climb up to the top, I thought, \u201cPiece of cake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Incapable of establishing my footing effectively, I found myself relying heavily on my coworkers\u2019 instructions. The higher I climbed, the more detailed they became. With no foot holds in sight, inches separated me from the bell to signal my success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a little blue hold to your right foot. Use that to get to the top,\u201d I heard from the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Little was an understatement. They hadn\u2019t led me astray during their previous directions, so I gave the little blue foot hold a try. Sure enough, I made it to the top!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-3607 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/encouragement-goes-a-long-way\/ntphopeandahome-034\/'><img width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ntphopeandahome-034-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ntphopeandahome-034-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ntphopeandahome-034-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Afterward, I didn\u2019t feel proud that I made it to the top, but instead felt proud and thankful to be reminded of what encouragement feels like, to have people believe in you, and to be part of this organization.<\/p>\n<p>I realized that\u2019s the FLOC way \u2013 encouragement. A small amount of encouragement brought me to the top of that obstacle, allowing me to understand why FLOC students improve and succeed as much as they do.
