The St Paul – Team Events with a difference
We were requested by St Paul & OPP Ltd to develop team events with a difference.  Working with a senior team from The St Paul , we have provided one day events aimed to develop leadership and team spirit.  The first day was a ‘one day holiday’, which aimed to reconsolidate the team after restructuring and a difficult financial year.  The second event was a challenge to provide a promotional video for a children’s charity respite care home.

Office of Government Commerce – Team of Directors

Before the current restructure, we worked with a team of directors, to help them to build trust, and work more collaboratively.  We worked individually with each team member and also designed a one-day event where team members simulated the working environment and reflected on how they worked together and how they didn’t work together.  At the end of the day all team members gave full and frank feedback to each other.  Team members then had a follow up one to one session to review what they had learnt, what they were noticing and what next….
