Includes cooking, drama, music and a

Using Experiential
Team Building to Develop High Performing Teams
Try a couple of our classroom based team building exercises for
free!
Chinese Whispers.
An old one but still a goody. This works well with a medium to
large group. It is about communication skills: listening, asking
questions and checking understanding. Try passing the following
message around the room and see what emerges at the other end - or
make up your own message!
" I want to order 2 dozen roses: Some for my mother in
Manchester and some for my sister in Birmingham. The ones for my
mother must be pink, and for my sister they must be yellow. They
need to arrive by 9am on Saturday morning."
Pass the Buck.
For this you need a ball and enough space to stand in a circle.
The ball represents a problem and is thrown around the circle until
someone takes responsibility for it. This is about understanding
that the problem belongs to the team, not necessarily one
individual.
Story Telling.
A good team can tell a story between them because they understand
how the other think and where they are coming from. Start by going
round the circle and asking for a sentence from each person to add
to the story. See how the story develops. Try adding in the phrase:
"Yes, but..." at regular intervals. Then try adding in the phrase
"Yes, and..." What is the difference? Get the team to draw their own
conclusions.
What is it worth to you to have a high
performing team?
The success of every organisation depends on the effectiveness of
teamwork. While we wouldn't think twice about monitoring sales,
production or customer satisfaction, we are less inclined to analyse
how well we operate as a team. Yet, the way in which we set goals,
communicate, plan tasks, cooperate, and solve problems are all
reflected in our ability to work as a team.
Our Team Building workshops are great for
team bonding and team development, or as icebreakers or energisers
at conferences. They can make team building days out fun and
memorable.
Choose your team building activity:
We offer a wide range of activities, all designed
to help your team work together more effectively. At a time when
budgets are tight, we can provide an unforgettable and accessible
experience which is very cost effective.
Work with a chef and facilitator in
a variety of different ways. Challenge your team to make a
meal, design some chocolates or one of our culinary
challenges.
Indoor Olympics
Using a variety of activities to stimulate discussion and
fun
Learn how to draw cartoons and
tell your team's own story in cartoon form
Where's the theory?
For clients who want a
little more meat to the day, we can back it up with good solid
theory about teamwork. Our
Leadership and Team Development Workshops might include the 4 stages of team development: forming,
storming, norming and performing. We can also add team and
individual analysis through tools such as PRISM, Myers Briggs Type
Indicator (MBTI) and Management Teams Relations Indicator (MTRI) and others. This means that these workshops
can be very versatile, meeting a wide range of needs from team
members to team leaders.

Outdoor Challenges
Want to challenge your
team to an outdoor high wire, or leap of faith?
Our experienced trainers can then highlight how the group operates
while the team makes a camp, a culinary experience or creates their
very own drama production with the help of professional actors This
naturally triggers discussion on how the group is interacting in a
"real"
setting and what is needed to help the group progress. This
provides a valuable opportunity to identify crucial skills, learn
about the group and take that knowledge back to the workplace.
Time to celebrate?
Our team building activities are flexible and can be used not only
for team bonding and building but also as a celebration
experience, or as team ice breakers. We can also run
team building workshops over the weekends if required.
