Effective communication workshops
In 20 years of coaching, I experienced many humorous situations where what I said was what I got, but certainly not what I meant!! Sometimes poor communication does end up with funny results. Other times, it can blow a business deal right out of the water. In worst case scenarios, poor communication can result in injury or death. Non-strenuous team-building exercises help highlight not only the importance of, but the various means to achieving effective communication . Loosen the tie, kick off the shoes and get ready to get what you want by saying what you mean in the best way possible!

My name is Chet Snouffer and I am a teacher, coach and former youth group leader and children's ministry leader. A 1979 graduate of Wheaton College (IL) and I now travel the world speaking to youth, sharing my testimony and experiences as a member of the United States Boomerang Team.
Traveling the world has given me many experiences to draw upon to share on positive choices, trusting God in good and bad times, and standing up for our faith.
I use the boomerang to enthrall audiences of all ages and can throw indoors or out. My speeches are tailored to reinforce the message you want the kids to take home. There are many great speakers out there who share how God has brought them out of a life of alcohol abuse, drug addiction, or gang activities. However, I speak as one who, through the grace of God, was able to avoid these pitfalls from the start. I think it is vitally important for youth to know it is possible to go through life and with God's guidance, choose life-building, adventuresome, positive experiences. And for those who have already stumbled and may feel it is "too late" for them, I remind of God's grace which allows us to repent and change the course of our lives in an instant. There is truly Good News to be heard for all! Through winning and losing God has taught me so many lessons which I am eager to share. The boomerang is a perfect, fascinating tool to catch the attention of every audience.
In addition, I run team-building workshops for staff development and provide motivational speeches to the business world. We can do hands-on activities where everyone throws as well as presentations for groups large or small.
