Challenge by Choice

Challenge by Choice is a concept in which people are empowered to decide whether to participate in an activity. The leader and others in a group are expected to respect anyone's right to sit out or to opt for a personalized level of engagement.

Team building should not include peer pressure; Challenge by Choice helps individuals avoid crowd mentality and manipulation.

The activities suggested on Teampedia encourage active engagement. Yet sometimes it takes time for people to feel safe, comfortable, and enthusiastic about joining in.

Whether your group is involved in potluck or a scavenger hunt, a tug-of-war or a charity fundraiser, Teampedia encourages an atmosphere of Challenge by Choice. Welcome inclusion without coercion, and see how team spirit can naturally grown.
