Ten Great Reasons to Take Your Teambuilding Exercise Outside

We offer a range of workshops and learning events tailored to your business. Here we offer ten great reasons to consider experiential learning – taking it out of the meeting room and into the Great Outdoors.

  1. Aids Creative Thinking Changing your environment is a proven way to increase creative thinking. If just Standing Up, Not Sitting Down makes a difference, imagine how the sound of birdsong will affect you.
  2. Build Relationships As soon as you’re out of your business clothes and standing in a woodland, you will learn more about your colleagues. Add a few physical challenges and those levels of trust and awareness increase quickly.
  3. People Not Processes Instantly understand how your behaviour impacts communication, action, and other people.
  4. Explore Your Own Abilities Outdoor activities might be outside your comfort zone; the sense of achievement is priceless when you complete activities you never thought you could.
  5. True Collaborative Working Beyond buzzwords, an experiential learning programme puts your words into action.
  6. Real Respect No-one is ever forced or cajoled to take part in an activity they don’t want to on our programmes.
  7. Communicate Without Words Practising non-written and even non-verbal communication skills helps develop relationships and skills, and can be huge fun.
  8. Theory Into Practice Set a goal, plan your approach, focus, act, achieve and celebrate –crossing an actual (simulated) minefield puts all your project management theory to work in an instant.
  9. Find Yourself Use the space and time away from your ‘everyday’ life to learn and build up emotional intelligence, resilience, and wellbeing, and practice self-reflection and mindfulness.
  10. Skills and Strengths The best teams play to the strengths of individuals. Our programmes are designed to help you explore and nurture these, through understanding your own role and responsibilities.

Our Clients Say…

We recently worked with the planned investment team of an housing association and their contractor, to build trust and develop an action plan which delivers results for both organisations. The programme mixed classroom sessions on personality types, emotional intelligence and action planning with experiential exercises including high-rope courses, orienteering, and a leap of faith.
