As companies begin to look ahead to organising their Christmas parties, or meetings or conferences near the festive period, we are receiving a number of enquiries asking about our special Christmas events or theming. I thought it would be useful to list and describe our most popular options, which transform end-of-year get-togethers and celebrations into something [Continue Reading]
Considering Your First Ever Teambuilding Session?
Every enquiry we receive, especially by phone, is exciting. Explaining all the available options that best suits the brief and then detailing how they actually work inevitably leads to involuntary hand gesticulations and bursts of pent-up enthusiasm to describe the imaginary scene to the listener. We’re quite a passionate lot! There is one type of [Continue Reading]
Corporate It’s a Knockout with a Difference with Keith Chegwin
Just as we thought all the excitement of the Olympics was over, and after only just catching our breath following Andy Murray’s Grand Slam success, our team has delivered a special It’s a Knockout event – Loony Olympics! This event was a perfect example of what can created and realised by working closely with a [Continue Reading]
Enhancing Training with Creative Activities
We absolutely relish working with training companies to integrate our activities into training events and programmes. We provide hands-on, interactive group activities that can bring practical application to personality profiling and analysis of group dynamics – to make a training project totally memorable and understandable. Our sessions bring practical application to the theory! As part [Continue Reading]
The Critical Importance of the Facilitator in Team Building
Sometimes we are surprised at the lack of importance clients place on the most crucial aspect of a teambuilding event – the facilitator leading the activity. We spend a lot of time responding to questions about almost everything else about a session apart from how it is led. Yet, how a session is delivered to [Continue Reading]
Olympic Drumming – from Opening Ceremony to Team Building
Everyone I know was proud and overwhelmed by the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony. The daring spectacles of prominent landmarks in Great Britain’s history, the vast, constantly-changing scenery, the factory chimney stacks and the blazing Olympic rings in the sky were simply awesome! Who would have ever believed that the Queen and James Bond, and [Continue Reading]
The Importance of Passion and Dedication
Last week, we were asked to deliver a full day’s session for a secondary school. We rarely work in schools as our expertise and formats are more geared toward the corporate market. The purpose of the day was to illustrate to pupils that, in life, anything is possible if you have the passion and dedication [Continue Reading]
Creative but Traditional Morris Dancing for Team Building
We are always up for a challenge and, recently, we were asked to provide old English Morris Dancing to enhance a unique team building event that would see 200 delegates rotate around many traditional English countryside activities. Last Friday, the special medieval-themed teambuilding session took place. In between duck herding with expert farm dogs, long bow [Continue Reading]
Inspiring Team Building Participants
Clients expect us, as external facilitators, to bring all the transformational fun and positive energy to every team building session. We have the experience and that is what we are paid to do. However, we wouldn’t be able to do this as effectively without the many people that step forward and try something new. In [Continue Reading]
A Week of Corporate Haka
Last week, for some reason, was very busy for our Haka team. Even though, by now, I have seen hundreds of Haka sessions, I still find it fascinating to watch. There is just something special about those words and actions. We are fiercely protective of this amazing ritual and the way it is delivered. Our Maori [Continue Reading]
