WILL YOU BENEFIT FROM A FOCUSED OFF-SITE?
IF YOUR TEAM CAN RELATE TO ONE OF THESE POINTS THEN THE ANSWER IS YES!
-
Needing to align a team that is not working to its optimum. The experience will help bond a team like none other can.
-
Want to really focus on solving a challenging problem(s) from a different outlook. The tasks and challenges help all your team think on how to achieve the target from a number of angles. It also makes you think collectively as a team, not just for oneself. Therefore, whilst inspired by nature and invigorated by the tasks, this could well be the optimum time to bring this problem(s) / pain point out(s) in to the open to resolve it once and for all.
-
Thinking of increasing your team size? Why not invite potential employees and monitor how well they fit in with the current team and weather or not they are suited for the role.
-
NEW - This experience is now available in the WINTER.
All phones and communication devices are confiscated and the group are ordered to leave the bus. Abandoned in the middle of nowhere with nothing else apart from the clothes on their back - time to Survive and Thrive as a team.
The group has to make decisions on what to do next to return to civilisation. During the adventure the group will learn bush craft skills, accomplish different tasks and overpass obstacles. Professional instructors will accompany the group to give certain directions and help instruct the group to accomplish different exercises.
The experience helps remind people how to 'live', the importance of sharing and how life can be made a lot simpler once priorities are in order! When in a 'crisis' or under pressure, team work and cohesive decision making is crucial in order for your team to succeed.

Watching Simon Sinek’s video, ‘How our phones are ruining relationships’ was a huge turning point in my life and inspired me to take action!!
Simon Sinek is a mind-blowing Optimist; who articulates the problem of phone addiction very well.
We are entrepreneurs; we are aiming to tackle the problem of phone addiction head on.
I believe the 3 magical ingredients for happiness are High Esteem, Optimism and Close Relationships, the exact things phone and social media have a negative impact on.
