“ On behalf of our organisation, we want to express our sincere thanks for the teambuilding programme that FOCUS Adventure team have conducted for us at Sentosa.

Not only the programme venue chosen was ideal for our teambonding session, the food catered as well with the activities planned for the whole day were perfect in creating the atmosphere for our employees to bond with each other. We certainly had a lot of fun and did get to know each other and ourselves better, especially when the team realized the power they had when they worked together towards a common goal.

Mostly importantly, the learning outcomes that were achieved after the day’s programmes, we are really pleased that the teams were able to learn from the many interesting activities that FOCUS has conducted for us. FOCUS Adventure has done an outstanding job and we have no hesitation in recommending your company to our business associates.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Project Manager and Facilitators for the wonderful and great teambuilding experience as well as the memorable photographs and video taken by them. ”

“Programme was fun! Good mix of High & Low Elements which made the programme engaging and provided a good change of environment from time to time. Prefer the Low Elements as it requires more teamwork, communication which result in greater learning and bonding after the activity.

Good use of music during energizer to hype up the atmosphere. After energizer was DISC which got a little too draggy and energy level of participants became lower. Felt that most people were aware of how DISC works so can shorten this theory part.

All in all, the objectives were achieved!”
– Winnie Tan, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The activities were very fun and I got to know more colleagues through the programme. Through the activities, we learnt the importance of teamwork and the strengths and weaknesses of different personality traits that we can tie back to work. I prefer the Low Element activities as they required more teamwork and interaction. I had fun brainstorming strategies and playing the activities with the team.”
– Joanna, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“Good! I like the activities but it would have been better if there are more activities!”
– Chloe Mei, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“Good in general. Time and schedule nicely done, just that the High Elements portion could be expanded. I prefer the High Elements but need to have more variety and opportunities to do more during the programme. The High Elements challenge more guts, which I prefer; while the Low Elements that challenges the wits.”
– Andrea Sze, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The programme was good, everything was going in a smooth flow. Can see that all the programmes are devised in an orderly manner. I would prefer High Elements. Reason being : It’s more fun and challenging. The feel of jumping from high ground to lower, is shiok”
– Mark Chua, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The programme was well-developed and had not only a theoretical aspect but also a practical one which tied up nicely. Learnt more about the DISC profiles which fits what is practiced at work. Both High & Low elements have its own great points. Low Elements taught us how to work as a team and strategize before starting the activities. High Elements taught us how to embrace our fears & comfort zone. Personally still enjoyed the High elements as it’s something I don’t do often.”
– Sarah Lim, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The programme was good! Surprisingly had a lot to take back. The activities were fun and I liked how there was always something we could learn in what I initially thought was pointless activities. Like the hula hoop activity, we all were thinking like this should be easy, bring up and down only. But when you actually did it, it was rather difficult. Prefer the High Element! Partly because I’m someone who is more adventurous and High Elements is what I like to do. ”
– Denyse Tan, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“It was a good experience. No preference to High/Low Elements. Both are equally enriching and fun.”
– Emily, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The programme was very interactive and fresh, very different from what I’ve imagined. Enjoyed myself and learnt how to handle my colleagues better, being more tactful. It was a very well thought out programme, I will definitely participate if there are more of it.

I actually don’t have any preference for High/Low Element activities, I have a phobia for heights but on that day, I knew I would be in safe hands so I actually volunteered to go first. It was a day I actually face my own fear and move on from it. So I don’t mind doing more High Element activities again.”
– Adam Tan, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“It was tiring but fun and enjoyable. I prefer the Low Elements as I am afraid of heights.”
– David Tan, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

FEBRUARY 2015

“ The programme was a huge success and rated by our colleagues as the best of all programmes we had so far. The whole programme and activities were well organised and kudos to the FOCUS Facilitator. We all had an enjoyable time and great teambonding with colleagues across departments. All the activities including the energisers were well-planned and executed. Hats off to the Instructor for preparing the slideshow in a short period and it was very thoughtful of your Team to send us all the photos and videos. Even those who couldn’t make it, had vicarious fun watching the video. ”
– Vidya Jayaraman, Development Consultant Specialist, CSG International

“The venue is great. Thumbs up to FOCUS Adventure staff involved in our programme from the planning stage to the execution stage.”
– Muhammad Irfan N R, Executive Officer, National Institute Of Education

“Everyone enjoyed the learning, especially our partners from Europe and US. All these were possible because of your excellent project management, Totok’s mastery with the video and photo, and Jeffray and Team on the rafting logistics readiness. WE worked as a TEAM.”
– Abdul Wahid, REC Solar Pte Ltd

“In retrospect, my colleagues and I have the following things to say:

–    The Team had a good fun over the entire programme and came back to the office re-energized and more engaged
–    Half-day programme for 11 people was enough to achieve our goal to provide a venue to promote bonding within the Team; full-day would have been too taxing and tiring
–    Personally I find the introductory/warm-up activities a little dry and something to be improved on
–    Dean and his Team were very good hosts, all flexible and responsive to our needs (e.g. time adjustment, break, etc.)
–    Overall, we had an enjoyable time and we appreciate the help provided

Thanks and until next time!”
– Che, Team Leader, Syngenta Asia Pacific Pte Ltd

“We can work together through play and know each other better. There is Teamwork. Participants contributed their ideas and knowledge in their different ways in solving problems. We can solve problem by seeking help from other Teams. As the navigator, I got to learn how to use the GPS. At first there is a mental block to learn something new. However, we managed to overcome it. Lesson learnt: If we make effect and try, we can still acquire new skill/knowledge.”
