The Youth Advisory Board had a chance to practice their team work skills, get to know new members, and enjoy each other’s company at their summer retreat. The retreat was at Team Concepts in Kearney. Josh Erickson, taught them about how to be leaders of a team. Erickson said, “The most effective under utilized skill is knowing how to help people in their engagement cycle.” Erickson taught the youth how to help people see they are disengaged, and how to bring them to be an engaged part of the team.
Sage Williams, Sumner-Eddyville-Miller, said, “Team Concepts offered a completely new perspective on leadership and teamwork. It really made me think of how I can improve upon the way I work with others and sustain a strong team. The concepts and skills that Josh taught the group are so valuable and will be very beneficial for my future.”Sage Williams, Sumner-Eddyville-Miller, said, “Team Concepts offered a completely new perspective on leadership and teamwork.
