“ The facilitators did a very good wrap up after the Team Challenge Pyramid, with a sharing session, singing If We Hold On as a group, and even having participants present the certificates of achievement and momentoes to each other with a big hug. It ended the course on a meaningful note, and sealed the bonds that had been forged during the 3 days. The pre-activity energizers (particularly pirate ship) were very effective and fun. ”

The activities which had been arranged linked quite well to our work environment and got many of us thinking and relating back to day to day interactions as a team as well as with stakeholders. Kudos to the facilitators who 2 years in a row have managed to energize a typically quiet finance crowd. Their enthusiasm and energy in guiding the team through each activity was very contagious and got everyone into the same state of mind. All in all a very well organized team building session with good feedback from the rest of the team.

And Dean, Shams and Toro made that happened. So we have a pleasant first experience with FOCUS Adventure. Certainly looking forward to more sessions in the future for our new hires.”
