RAISING THE BAR
IN RECREATION

We all want to be better at what we do, right? That’s what “RAISING THE BAR” is all about. It means taking our performance as Recreation Professionals to the next level, by turning those “Big Ideas” into really practical steps that you can start accomplishing tomorrow.

KEYNOTE OBJECTIVES:

1) Investigate how the phrase “Raising the Bar” comes from the sport of High Jump, with athletes only moving the bar an inch at a time… So surely, we can Do One Thing to “improve” your agency.

2) Track the difference between Knowledge and Wisdom, and how these concepts apply to the Parks and Recreation Profession.

3) Internalize what it means to “Mind The Gap” for those things that are not being done or said, and then take a Nuts-&-Bolts approach to apply this foundational concept in very tangible ways to the Parks and Recreation Profession.
