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. ”

“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!”

OCTOBER 2014

“ The activities that were organised enabled us to be more comfortable with one another, as we are just starting to get to know one another. The Facilitators would explain the rationale at the end of each activity, and this enabled us to relate and link it to our job. A lot of the activities, which were new to us, were also introduced. Kudos! ”

Secondly, we would like to say a Big thank you to FOCUS Adventure team (John and colleagues) for being such a wonderful Facilitators. They really do motivate and encourage each and everyone of us to go for the challenges and participant positively.

“We were well taken care of in terms of our well being like providing us with sunblock, insect repellent! There was also adequate supply of food and bottled water. The only drawback was the breakfast buffet where there wasn’t sufficient time to eat as the queue was only on one side of the breakfast table so lots of time wasted queuing for food drinks! The flow was much better at lunch! Overall a very pleasant and positive experience! Thank you very much! Job well done!”
