As an enthusiastic, skilled and highly motivated team facilitator, I am excited about the potential of joining your team as a Virtual Team Facilitator. I have served companies, schools and organizations as a team facilitator since 2016 and bring an abundance of passion to the position. I have facilitated teams in wilderness settings, in school settings and virtually as well. Trained in leadership development and team building through Outward Bound International I have served as a lead facilitator for the Philadelphia Outward Bound School, the American Youth Foundation and have created and facilitated teambuilding courses both in person and virtually through my company Soulful Adventures. I find great satisfaction in supporting teams in achieving their goals efficiently, in a way that fosters more connection and fulfillment.
As a current life coach, former college varsity basketball player, basketball coach and representative in the 2019 Outward Bound international symposium for leadership development, I bring a wellspring of inspiration to team facilitating. My greatest gift is in my ability to create a welcoming and engaging environment where everyone feels comfortable to be themselves and share their ideas, insights, challenges and concerns confidently. I am trained in teaching various communication styles and am comfortable diving way deeper than simply ‘passive,’ ‘aggressive’ ‘passive-aggressive’ and ‘assertive.’ Trained and practiced in NVC (non-violent communication), drawing on my B.A. in Psychology and influenced by my training as Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, I support team cultures in become more self-aware and conscious in their words, thoughts and actions. Conflict resolution is second nature to me, having facilitated countless conflicts in life or death situations in the wilderness settings with small and and medium sized groups. Facilitating conflict virtually now feels comparatively easy, yet still requires a keen, and in some ways heightened sensitivity, as it is important to pick up on social-emotional cues over the screen rather than in person.
I am a lifelong learner and it is my joy to inspire others to embrace such an approach to life. Having organized countless team meetings, facilitated professional development workshops and monitored team growth through leadership-based metrics of success and progress, I bring experience to the table that can help teams recognize their goals, work together cohesively to achieve them, and communicate clearly and effectively together while achieving them. I have facilitated countless feedback sessions, taught workshops in giving feedback and fully understand the necessity to incorporate a healthy feedback culture into teams and companies. I feel more than equipped to be of service to your teams in this way.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Given my track record serving as a team facilitator, I feel confident to help enhance every team I work for with you with a great deal of passion, skill and enthusiasm. I look forward to speaking about this opportunity more with you soon.
Sincerely,
James Moon
