SEPTEMBER 2014
“ Thank you for organising such a wonderful “The Teambuilding Challenge!” for IFM. The whole programme and activities were objective-focused and well organised. We had an enjoyable time and a great Teambonding with colleagues across departments. IFM Team members were engaged to work together throughout the programme.
We took the opportunity to feedback how we felt after each activity, shared our different experiences, and thought of how to transfer the experience to the actual work practices. I believe this would enhance our effective communication and cooperation in IFM. Once again thank you. ”

He brought The Teambuilding Challenge! to life when everyone was groggy in the morning and after lunch. His voice was still loud and clear even at the end of the day – great energy level. And let’s not forget what an eye-candy he is, to the ladies. Anyway, we had truckloads of fun and many are still reminiscing about it! Looking forward to having another session soon! Will definitely recommend this to others.”

In terms of feedback, I think the Facilitators to participants ratio could be improved, it feels like only John was leading us most of the time.”
