Team Building

An experience tailored to the requirements of your team.  This could be a new team brought together for a project or an already established group who require a greater insight to their collective abilities. Perhaps you wish to run a Project Acceleration by Coaching and Teamwork (PACT) workshop in a different environment.

An effective team building activity improves your teams performance and communication, which is at the heart of every business. There is no better way to do this than to learn to sail with us on a team building event. We can take personnel of all levels and give each member of your team an opportunity to experience every aspect required to make a sailing boat run effectively.  To succeed, your staff will have to co-operate and communicate effectively.

In the forced coexistence during sailing, where everyone is beyond their own “comfort zone”, the sailing activity merges with everyone’s experience.  This  allows each individual to reflect on group dynamics, leadership, roles within team, group management strategies and on the capacity of being teammates.

Through appreciative facilitation it is possible to explore what is needed to make the team become highly effective. The group will be able to learn from the experiences they encounter on the water and transfer these to their work place.

Taking these experiences and exploring in more detail theoretical models such as Tuckman’s stages of group development or Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The group can discover new knowledge and understanding on how to maintain optimum performance as a whole.
