Team Building

Encourage and reveal the best from your team!

A team’s ability to work effectively is a key element to the success of any business in today’s environment. inspire creates and delivers tailormade programmes and design courses to meet your company’s needs, enhance group dynamics and empower personnel.

Team Building exercises with inspireCorparate Training

Your team will work in small groups, have the opportunity to spend quality time in unfamiliar surroundings to break down any existing barriers, to promote close team work, stimulate interaction between colleagues, and encourage teams to support each other both physically and emotionally to develop relationships and trust. We use a variety of tasks and outdoor adventure activities with programmes to highlight and review areas within the team that need improvement. Some tasks will require lateral thinking, others a creative flair. All activities require good team work as the tasks are designed to test the abilities as well as to have fun.

Activities are not a test of strength and endurance and are designed to cater for all ages and abilities.

Please call (01600 891515) or email us to find out how Inspire can help your team.

Consultation — Identify needs and design course

Discussion on your requirements, business needs and to set the course objectives. We will review the proposed programme with you before implementation.

Delivery — Working towards desired outcomes

Team event. This will involve the group performing various exercises and activities that will highlight the objectives set. The event is finished off by a debriefing session that will allow the group to identify areas that can be taken back to their working environment, and ideas on how these can be implemented.

Review and course follow up

Task reviews will take place at the end of each task so as the day progresses the team will learn about their strengths and weaknesses, resulting in solving problems more effectively and increasing productivity. At the end of the course a more in depth review will take place.

Dear inspire...

“I would like to thank you for a well planned and interesting, enjoyable day of team building. The responses from the team have been positive. They felt that you were in attendance at all times during the canoeing to ensure that everyone felt safe and that you did not belittle anyone who was not quite going in the right direction!”
