Reveal
hidden talents and skills
The Team Building with
Cookery events from JamBerry, are designed to use the experience of cookery to
provide a backdrop to developing a team experience that will be both
rewarding and remembered. We use Cooking to bring out a
range of hidden talents and skills not always seen in the office!
For clients who want a little more depth to the day, we 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), or Belbin.
So if you want to use cookery as
a background to a more involved training and development workshop,
or just as a great office awayday, we can provide the experience for you.
Our Team Building with Cooking 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.

Meeting
your business needs
Cooking experiences can either be half or full days
and can incorporate a range of development options that cover Team Bonding or Team Building, dependent on the type of experience and depth of team
building development that is required. We don't just
throw everyone into an experience. We back it up with good solid theory about
team development and if appropriate,
we can tie in the experience with development on subjects such as communication
skills or leadership.
This means that these workshops
can be very versatile, meeting a wide range of needs from team
members to team leaders.
The options include:
The Quick
Cook Team Event
This
facilitated team building half day is aimed at making the best use of the time
