Work as a team to help protect some of the UK’s most special places and help this 100 year old charity. Your challenge will depend on your location. Previous projects have included constructing bat boxes to start a new colony, repairing drystone walls/cliff footpaths and marshalling 1,500 Antiques Roadshow visitors! Put all your leadership and team skills to the test and contribute to a great cause.

With the first 10,000 miles of the National Cycle Network completed, in helping Sustrans (the UK’s leading sustainable transport charity) your team will be tasked with any number of valuable projects to achieve, such as painting a bridge, widening a path, planting trees and wild flowers, beating the brambles (!), picking up litter, repairing a sculpture or building a bench. And you’ll probably be fitter by the end of it!

Enjoy putting you leadership skills to the test, to maximise impact on the children’s lives that this worthy charity seeks to benefit.

• competitive  fundraising, including ‘Store Wars’;
• retail store make-overs;

You will need all your team’s leadership, teamwork and creativity skills to excel in Maier’s Leadership Treasure Hunt. Competing in teams, but also working to ‘the greater good’, you must find treasure and complete challenges to gain points. Special awards for creativity/innovation, teamwork/efficiency, communication, motivation, orientation etc.  Many more tasks will be given than can realistically be achieved so teams will have to devise a strategy in order to gain maximum points.

A leadership development day with a ‘Wow’ factor,
this is a unique opportunity to work with real horses at liberty, exploring the power of non-verbal communication and how others respond to our behaviour. Understanding and becoming skilled at relating to horses has real parallels to core personal and leadership skills. During these highly participative sessions, the learning is translated directly into workplace scenarios.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) has been described as emotional acupuncture without needles. Work as a group with Safaya Salter to understand how powerful subconscious beliefs can hold you and the team back. Learn to re-program them for success. EFT is an incredibly effective tool that can be applied to almost every health and performance issue, clearing away blocks to your well-being and reward. "A revelation. It has had a profound effect on me."

‘Think Big Picture’ is a great chance for larger groups to really deepen their understanding of each other (often integrating advanced MBTi learning) and the impact of their actions across the business when working collaboratively. With plenty of opportunity to express artistic skills, as well as explore more effective ways of communicating and working together, it’s a sure-fire way to let the energy flow back into the business.

Your team’s chance to work alongside top Master Chef
Chris Coubrough. With a proven and varied career in many of the finest restaurants around the world, Chris has strong leadership skills and an expectation of high standards. Your challenges will involve creating an exceptional dining experience under pressure of being judged by critics and consumers. Unrivalled learning to take back into the heat of your own workplace!

This is a chance to put all your creativity to the test and enjoy a fun and high energy alternative team building event with a twist. The session typically comprises 3 elements - skills and knowledge of the drinks, Bar Magic and tasting, finally mixing your own and usually finishing with a competition. Despite the frivolous nature of the session, important and surprising leadership lessons are learned!
