Team Building

What we do

We are able to provide high performance team building solutions for our client’s that are designed to encompass and promote the abilities of the whole team, to meet corporate or strategic objectives.

To help our client’s build high performance teams, we utilise key development instruments, through our tailored service, to provide practical methods and tools to enable team players and leaders to succeed.  Clients can expect to learn about, and develop themselves, in areas critical to individual and collective success, personal development and teamwork. Modules can include leadership, communication, diversity, empowerment, change management, organisational development, motivation and winning behaviours.

Working together with our client’s to enable us to develop an understanding of their strategic business requirements and objectives, we are able to tailor our service to provide bespoke solutions.  The client’s objectives are then met in an environment and a style that allows for the delivery of the solution in a way that will make business sense as well as delivering added value and a return on investment. 

In order to ensure that your needs are met in the most complete and cost effective way possible, we also work with a small number of highly experienced consultants accredited to a range of pyschometric tools and learning and development IP as well as a carefully selected group of experiential activity providers.

Our programmes can cater for delegates in groups of varying sizes and can be organised on-site, at our own bespoke venue or at a range of inspiring locations across the UK through our conference facilities partners.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements in more detail.         

challengeAtlantic ™ experiential activity

If you are looking for something dynamic - and different - to help you get the most out of the team, whether on your own site or externally as part of an ‘away day’ activity, may we recommend our unique ‘challengeAtlantic’™  High Performance Team experience, themed on Stuart Boreham’s successful solo transatlantic row.

Following months of design and development work, incorporating tried and tested teamwork methodologies, the latest thinking and Stuart’s real experiences, this activity is now being delivered to clients seeking to develop their own teams, utilising a fresh and adaptable experiential learning tool.

Themed on the challenge of getting the team safely across the Atlantic in a rowing boat, the experience – which normally runs over a full day but can be tailored to suit (shorter or longer) - has been developed around a set of core activities the team need to complete, with the final content, goals and outcomes to be achieved bespoked for any corporate organisation.  The challenge can include pre-event evaluation of the team members, understanding of team dynamics, current issues, what works/what doesn’t etc.

To complete the challenge successfully, for example, the team must identify each others strengths/weaknesses/skills; fund the project; build and equip the boat; plan the route, voyage and media coverage; achieve a funding goal and media coverage, including specific messages; overcome unexpected challenges, setbacks and fears; prepare a press release outlining their achievement.

Along the way, the Team will be challenged in areas that can include: agreeing goals and deadlines, managing expectations, individual and Team aspirations, restructuring, conflict resolution, problem solving, achieving goals and success, overcoming setbacks and challenges, handling a bad news story.

Core skills that may be incorporated, utilised and developed through this interactive experience include: Management, Leadership, Teambuilding, Project Management, Budgeting and Resourcing, Resilience, Communication and Goal orientation. You may also nominate your own topics/requirements for inclusion.

After delivery of an overview, the activity is usually facilitated in two groups, one led by Stuart Boreham with the required materials and insights with the other group led by one of our consultants who delivers on the theory, lessons, benefits and implications of constructing high performance teams. The groups swap over halfway through the activity and the event is concluded with a debrief to anchor learning within the team.

About Stuart

Stuart Boreham

Stuart was born in Stornoway, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, in May 1966.

As a child, it was soon apparent that he had difficulties with his legs - cerebral palsy had left him spastic in his lower limbs.

But what he has lacked in strength in his legs he has made up for in willpower to succeed.
