The Bridge Building Challenge.: What looks simple… isn’t.
Small teams are given one challenge:
Build a free-standing bridge using only the pieces in front of them.
No tools. No fasteners. No outside help.
At the micro level, it’s about trial and error.
Testing ideas. Adjusting tension. Finding balance.
But step back… and something bigger is happening.
Communication sharpens.
Roles emerge.
Leaders step in. Others step up.
Just as we constructed this Da Vinci Bridge without fasteners, relying solely on precision, balance, and teamwork, a strong and cohesive team is built on the same principles.
Solid foundations.
Interlocking strengths.
Adaptability and problem solving.
Leadership and support.
What starts as a build… becomes a blueprint for how your team works together.

Last week, I had one of those moments where a familiar tool showed me something new.
We kicked off the Experiential Facilitator’s Event in a pretty standard way. After an icebreaker, we moved into group norms, acceptable behaviors, and introduced the Comfort Zone Bullseye. We used both the 16-foot model and the 3-foot version to explore physical and emotional safety. It grounded the group. It gave us a shared language. It did exactly what it has always done so well.
We also talked about how participants could use the bullseye in their own programs. That part felt tried and true. This model has been a staple in our field for a reason. It helps people understand where they are, and what it means to stretch without tipping into panic.
Then came the shift.
At the end of the event, I decided to bring the bullseye back. This time, not as a teaching tool, but as a reflection tool. Each participant received an individual Comfort Zone Bullseye to take home. I asked them to think about their full experience. What felt comfortable? What stretched them? Did anything push them close to their edge?
The depth of reflection surprised me. It gave people a simple, visual way to process a complex experience. It tied the whole event together in a way that felt natural and meaningful.
Same tool. New purpose.
That is the reminder I’m holding onto. Sometimes the tools we already have can do more than we think. We just need to look at them from a different angle.
