What are Empowerment Activities?

For ease of reading, Empowerment Activities and High Impact Empowerment Activities are one and the same. In fact, we could easily replace High Impact with Impactful and they would carry the same meaning. And you can take it as read that each Empowerment Activity we offer is impactful.

So, let’s get a bit more clarity on Empowerment Activities.

Empowerment Activities Defined

According to the Oxford Dictionary. Empowerment is defined as:

The process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights.

With Breakthrough being defined as:

A sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development or an instance of achieving success in a particular sphere or activity.

Admittedly, both are very similar, especially how we use them, but they are still different. We look at them as this:

Empowerment activities give lifelong benefits to the person that overarch the specific benefit(s) of a Breakthrough activity. Of course, when we look at the Breakthrough Activity as an activity that is designed to create lifelong benefit to the person, this can lead to claims of semantics. It must be remembered that they are both part of a continuum of development and change. For that reason, we tend not to get too caught up differentiating between them and instead go with the term that we think works best: Empowerment Activities.

So, what Empowerment Activities do we offer?

Well, although I said Firewalking is Firewalking and Glass Walking is Glass Walking, they are two of the most popular Empowerment Activities that we offer. Next in line are Arrow Snapping, Board Breaking, Rebar Bending, and Brick Breaking.

The list does not stop there though, we have used and continue to use activities such as Coasteering/Cliff Jumping, High Ropes Courses and Zip Lines, Wind Tunnels and Sky Diving, Caving, Surfing and Snakes. Yes, your heard that right, sometimes we get people right out of their comfort zones by having them get up close and personal with snakes and spiders. It is very powerful.

Indeed, every activity that we utilise for learning and empowerment have that in common. They are very powerful and create the impact that we desire. If you have been part of one our Events, Courses, Team Building Programs, or Retreats, you know exactly what we mean. You will have witnessed first hand the successes, the learnings, the emotions, and the huge positive energy that can be creates around these activities. You know that these are not just empty words on a blog post. These are real experiences full of depth and they impact everyone present.

We are going to be expanding on how each of these activities work on the blog. Stay tuned, or better still, subscribe to our newsletter.
