You still CAN guide yourselves with the new program. That's what the beauty of it is!!!
The old ExCELL program was good...but it was too hard to follow, I think. It wasn't very structured, and didn't allow for much flexibility for the needs of the group. This new program does.

I know - isn't that what's so great about it?! We're doing a program on alcohol awareness this month and are having one of our alumnae who is an addictions counselor come in and do the program for us. Next month, it's back to the program manual. It's so much more flexible, and it allows for the programs to be integrated into another program, or to be facilitated with different groups.
For example, you could do a program on teambuilding (there's one in there somewhere), and have an HR trainer (or someone comparable) come in, do some teambuilding exercises, then you segue into the program. Or, for the male/female communications program, you could team up with a fraternity on campus and do the program together. It promotes the Greek spirit AND everyone learns something!!!
