More Than Just Breaking a Board: A Transformational Experience

Our Board Breaking experience is not just about splitting a piece of wood; it’s about breaking through barriers. This exhilarating and transformative process guides participants on a journey of deep insight and impactful results. In this program, the act of breaking a board symbolizes overcoming the obstacles that hold you back, empowering you to elevate both your personal and professional life. Through -facilitator-led discussion, participants identify an insecurity they want to move away from and a goal they want to achieve. The objective is to help overcome the fear of failure, procrastination, fear of rejection, fear of success, perfectionism, or any other barrier standing in the way of greater success.

Each participant will receive a board to break which serves as a metaphor for whatever obstacles or barriers we’ve placed in our paths and the act of breaking through them to move toward achieving their goal. Using either a hand or a foot, all participants will break through their boards by the time the session is over.

Chosen By:

"Please tell our facilitator how much we LOVED him! It was perfect – gotten lots of emails, calls, posts on FB – it made such a difference! The session was outstanding."

The Marvis Center

“We’ve done a couple of programs with TeamBonding in the past and loved them. This year, when we saw the Breaking Barriers listing it looked like the perfect program for us but it was out of our budget. We knew the value of this program though, so we got creative to find the budget. We believed this program would be an investment in our employees. We couldn’t have been happier with Breaking Barriers!”

The Predictive Index

"Breaking Barriers was fantastic. It applied to what we had spent time on during our meetings and the team loved it. We used it as our ending event and that worked well as it pulled everything together from the prior 3 days. I would definitely do it again. The facilitator was very good."
