Last Friday night, I spent four hours in the company of certain individuals who take communication and service to others to a different level. I believe we are very privileged in this team building and corporate event industry. Every week, we jet off to some wonderful locations. We get to observe many enigmatic trainers or consultants [Continue Reading]
From Rugby Haka to Exciting Team Building
As Rugby World Cup 2011 fever is in the air and the New Zealand All Blacks team are very much in the running, I thought I would expand on why the All Blacks use the Haka, and how it is used in our team building activities, ice breakers and energisers. For many generations, the All Blacks [Continue Reading]
24 Hours as an Event Facilitator
In this blog, I thought I’d describe a day I had as a facilitator last week. I never tire of facilitating team building events due to the diversity of different groups, the broad range of options we offer and the adrenalin and energy that is created during each session. I arrived back in England around [Continue Reading]
Themed Team Building – the extra touch
An important way in which we differentiate our team building activities from others is through the use of theming. When participants have been in a room throughout the day, theming creates an immediate change from the familiar environment. Theming allows us to enhance any of our sessions to another level entirely. Participants are presented with [Continue Reading]
Are Team Building Events Better Indoors or Outdoors?
When we get asked if we can deliver our team building events outside, the answer is always a resounding ‘yes’! We have had many notable successes delivering outside sessions. For example, a recent drumming workshop around the camp fire worked fabulously. I also recently took a Junk Funk group in full costumes outside their hotel to play in the [Continue Reading]
Two Events Can Be Better Than One!
When a client is planning a team building event with a generous time allocation, we often suggest a multi-activity session, particularly if there are several rooms available. The reason for this is that we believe clients can achieve much more with two activities than extending one single event beyond its optimum duration, just to fit [Continue Reading]
Events for Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and Special Occasions
While I have often written about corporate team building in this blog, we also receive many enquiries for non-corporate special occasions, like weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and even stag or hen nights. Here I want to talk about our experiences in delivering these. Interactive, surprise activities, with guests, are becoming more and more popular at this [Continue Reading]
Corporate Event Planning: key questions for your next event
In past articles we have looked at the delivery, benefits and intention behind our activities but, of course, before we get to any that, the actual planning process has to take place itself. Adequate planning is essential to get the most from your next team building activity or corporate entertainment event. To help you do [Continue Reading]
African Drumming Workshops that are Authentic
Reflecting the diverse range of our clients’ requirements, we offer different types of drumming workshop. For example, we offer African drumming workshops for clients keen to have a totally authentic and traditional African experience. For this, we have a group of Master Drummers from Ghana, who live here in the UK. Their style of teaching, [Continue Reading]
Put the ‘Interactive’ in Interactive Team Building
The team building activities that we specialise in, such as drumming, singing and dancing, are obviously interactive by nature. I’d like to think that we take the word ‘interactive’ to another level, so that we create the most intense, entertaining and surprising interactive team building activities for all participants. Our head facilitators are trained to [Continue Reading]
