Memorable and Exciting; 2 Must Haves for Team Building Activities

September 9, 2008

If you’re going to hold a team building day you’ve got to have activities and events that are both memorable and exciting.  These qualities will help your team easily remember (and utilize) the skills and ideas learned during the team building activities once back at the office; the ultimate goal of any team building event.

Activities that everyone enjoys also help in the creation of team bonds.  No one is usually able to get to know their co-workers better or create positive shared memories (some of the essentials for creating strong bonds among team members) when they feel stuck, or “bored to tears”  by the activity they’re being forced to participate in.

But, fun and unique team building activities will bring out the best in your staff and help them to create and strengthen relationships as well as practice and utilize skills like communication, decision making, leadership, and so many others.

If you don’t want to waste time on a potentially boring or forgetful team building activity, call 1 300 267 738.  We only hold events staff will rave about for a long time because they were so informative and educational yet so fun and exciting!  Take a look at our Testimonials Page on our website and see for yourself!

It’s Out of the Office and Into the Restaurant with Our Restaurant Rules!

September 4, 2008

This unique team building activity is just like the TV show of the same name; exciting and fun!

Your team will be required to come up with the theme of their restaurant, create a menu, acquire all the ingredients, prepare the food and, produce an advertising campaign for their restaurant; all in a limited time frame.

This creates a high paced environment, just like at the office, where things must be done correctly and quickly if the outcome is going to be positive.  Team members must communicate well and display good leadership skills, decision making skills, and sometimes, even conflict resolution skills.

There will be a de-briefing session after this team building activity so the facilitator can work with the team to help solidify all they’ve learned during the day and help the team relate it back to life at the office.

Our Restaurant Rules is a great team building activity for any team.  If you’d like to add Our Restaurant Rules to your team building event just ring 1 300 267 738 to set it all up!

A Short Film Festival teambuilding activity presents a really unique opportunity for your staff to explore skills like creativity, teamwork, communication, leadership, time management and presentation, all by making a short film together.

Need a Unique Team Building Event? Try The Agenda!

August 20, 2008

The Agenda is a team building event that incorporates several mini-activities into one. This team building event is a great way for your team to get together outside, and enjoy some exciting, yet beneficial activities together.

This unique team building event includes up to 5 different activities like The Cat Juggle. Of course the cats aren’t real, but the fun is! Your team will form a very large circle, and then several stuffed cats will come out. The idea is to work together to make sure not one cat touches the ground while throwing them all around the circle. As you can imagine, this takes a lot of teamwork and communication, and is absolutely hilarious.

Another example of an activity that is part of this great team building event is the 3D Mine Field. Your team is broken up into groups of 2. One member starts as the worker the other the manager. They must rescue objects (depending on your company these could be clients, accounts, etc) without setting off any of the mines (mouse traps). The trick is the worker is blindfolded and the manager must guide her/him to the object while maneuvering the worker safely through the mine field. The participants will switch back and forth in the roles of worker and manager until all objects are retrieved. Each participant will be working on skills like trust, communication, listening, leadership, support, and so much more.

Because of the variety in the activities as well as the inherent learning built into each one, The Agenda is a fantastic team building event for a wide variety of different teams. If you’d like to see if The Agenda would be right for your next team building event, just ring 1 300 267 738. We’ll help you design the ultimate team building day for your staff that will provide them with many learning opportunities as well as a lot of fun!

Why Team Building? Because it Works!

Team building is recommended for all office teams because it really does work.  To see for yourself, call 1 300 267 738.  We can talk with you about all the options, the results and of course our money back guarantee!

Executive Adventure Team Building Event

May 26, 2008

The Executive Adventure team building event is like nothing else.  Your staff will spend a full 24 hours together on a 10,000 acre working cattle station in Queensland’s Lockyer Valley.  They will have to work together to get things done and to get where they need to go. 

Prior to the event a specialist will work with the team through a unique 2 hr communication and leadership workshop at the office.  During this workshop, each participant will be provided with his or her own profile highlighting their strengths with regards to leadership and communication skills, and they are encouraged to utilize these strengths during the team building event.

Throughout their adventure in Queensland, participants will need to complete various chores and challenges associated with remote living.  They hunt for their food (in the form of a clay pigeon shoot – the event comes complete with catering!), figure out campfire cooking, read maps and find the required routes, and even work with horses to encourage the animals to transport them!  While your executive team is taking care of all of these “chores” they are being monitored and feedback is provided to them by the team building event staff.

After the team building event, there will be individualized feedback provided to all the executive team members.  Team building event staff will also work with your staff on strategies to help them translate all that they learned during this excellent team building event to their work at the office.

By participating in the Executive Adventure team building event, your management team will practice and develop skills such as trust, and conflict resolution, as well as learning strategies to increase productivity and general job performance.  This team building event is also a good time for brainstorming, reflection and team alignment and planning.

If your ready for your team to experience the executive adventure team building event in Queensland, ring 1 300 267 738.  Executive teams must function like a finely tuned machine, if yours needs a bit of a tune up this team building event will get them right back on track.
