Team Building

Private events designed just for your team can make a fascinating and information-filled corporate day.

Whilst what I offer are technically lectures, all of them feature so many practical demonstrations and group work that they are ideal standalone activities and are accessible to all. A well-designed activity aimed at improving the ability to work together should…

• INCREASE MOTIVATION
• IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY
• INCREASE COLLABORATION
• ENCOURAGE CREATIVITY
• PROVIDE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
• IMPROVE COMMUNICATION
• CONNECT REMOTE TEAMS

BUT…

Whilst other popular team building events such as canoeing, paddle boarding, bowling and paintballing are likely to produce the shared memories between colleagues that can make a team stronger, as well as provide problems they’ll need to work together to solve – the actual skills learned are less likely to benefit staff directly. Unless your workplace is somewhat unusual, the ability to propel yourself through water, throw heavy objects accurately, or shoot each other are unlikely to be useful on a day-to-day basis.

In contrast however, developing your deductive reasoning, realising the limitations of attention and memory, learning how to evaluate ‘facts’, and understanding the importance of unconscious bias and priming all help to avoid mistakes and make the correct decisions which are valuable skills to everybody. Understanding of these topics are essential to almost every workplace, and can be applied by anyone in everyday life.
