Is this suitable for your company? And importantly... would you like to bring your team to the next level? On this page you find some answers to these questions. Welcome. You are in the right place!

OVERVIEW

At the international level, the term team building indicates specific methodologies born and developed to work in groups, particularly on task-oriented work teams. The work targets improving the ability of the individuals and the whole group. Working in a team, alias team-working is the mission.


OBJECTIVES

Make people non-invasive, create relationships, increase collaboration, and increase the level of trust in all the participants. Everybody needs to gain trust in her/himself and others and feel motivated to work in a group. That creates cohesion, integration, and co-advancement. 

Team building and team working activities foster communication, creativity, empathy, ability to listen. Together we convey vision, mission and corporate values, evaluate potentials and attitudes and bring closer management and operational staff. 

These are just some of the achievable objectives. Yes, these are the most important for companies. However, every company has specific needs, and we work to tailor our proposal according to every particular context and request. 


TEAM BUILDING EXPERIENCES

Team building done with experiential methodologies can find two main areas of application: training and incentives. Sometimes those approaches are delivered separately, other times jointly.

The charm of the lived experiences, the emotions that are generated and shared, the multi-sensory involvement and the climate of interaction and exchange with others are all factors that make experiential team building an excellent incentive tool and training. In the experiential approach, the participant is always the protagonist starting from the assumption that the most impactful situations are those we live with all our senses, those in which we live with intense emotions, interact with others and maybe have fun.

Among some methodologies, we highlight outdoor training, edu theatre, adventure training, sports training, sound building (methods based on the use of music), business storming (based on creativity), self-empowerment, and animal metaphor, and mindfulness mirroring, among others. 


TEAM BUILDING COURSES

Activities are often delivered in the classrooms where several participants, between 5 and 20 people, receive frontal training on team-building principles, techniques and theories. In some cases, these interventions remain mostly theoretical and may not be effective in practical terms. However, we have developed several strategies to implement possible experiences in every context and spacial condition.


MOTIVATIONAL TEAM-BUILDING EVENTS

Corporate events may involve some 30 to 300 employees. Team Building sessions may be integrated into a corporate event (2-3 hours). The session is characterised by a motivational boost or by passing a corporate messages related to the Vision of the company.


PLAY AND AGGREGATIVE TEAM BUILDING

Short team building activities taking place during a corporate dinner, a road show or a quick corporate meeting. In addition to employees, agents, business partners and customers are often invited. The goal is to facilitate the knowledge between people and shorten the relational distance. Communication is core.

Activities

  • Digital Shift

    Digital is both changing the way we think and the way we approach our work. Emails, telecommuting, digital platforms, LMS, webinars, video calls, and data-driven reporting are just tools. If we still operate, communicate, create, manage and lead using the same paradigms we used for 20 years, then we may find this does not match today's challenges. The digital revolution transforms industries, organisations, teams and individuals. With no fear, an open mind and determination, we can surf the wave and acquire all the needed skills and tools to stay in the game. We need to cultivate leadership values and create a culture of innovation. We must be adaptable, tolerant, empowering, collaborative, communicative, and above all, we must take care of our team.

  • QiGong

    "XING SHEN ZHUANG" is a form of Qi-Gong originating from the teachings of ancient Taoist monks handed down over time but kept secret in China for over 5000 years. Knowledge was passed through families and esoteric schools. This form is today part of a more extensive system, the Zhineng Qigong, founded by Master Pan Ming, and represents its second level. With the creation of Zhineng Qigong, they wanted to combine the ancient tradition of Qigong as a healing art, with modern knowledge of body and mind. Thus, the "Xing Shen Zhuang" ("Reaching the awareness and union of Body and Spirit in an upright position") was brought to Europe by our dear Master Wang Ting Jun starting in 1989. Master Wang held intensive courses in various European countries until his sudden and saddening death in 2009. His legacy is now in the hands of his students. This form of Qi-Gong acts at various levels: joint dissolution, muscle-tendon stretch, activation of the "meridians", toning massage of the internal organs, the natural pathways of Vital Energy (Qi, development of the latent abilities of the mind.

  • Mindfulness

    Mindfulness refers to the bodily and psychological process of intentionally bringing individual or collective attention to the present experience. Various practices can be employed in Mindfulness, such as forms of meditation, mental exercise, scored movement and others. Judgment suspension is a critical element of Mindfulness regardless of the practice employed. It is crucial to have in mind that Mindfulness is not at all a static experience, even in those case where movement is not core. In most of our proposals, on the contrary, Mindfulness is practised actively, and body movement always accompanies mental exercise. Whether Mindfulness refers to the quality of being present to your present moment, tends to free from distraction and make participants aware of their thoughts and feelings. In experiencing the mind of being fully present, we empower our readiness to challenge circumstances or stressful situations.
