CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING

Take your team to the next level!

Take your team to the next level!

Successful team members don’t do the same thing at the same time; they do the right thing at the right time while working together towards a common goal.

By delivering experiential training programs, we assist businesses to achieve more effective performance for their teams and leaders. You can expect improved communication, better decision making and the breaking down of silos, all of which lead to an increase in overall team performance.

Our team is comprised of highly qualified professionals, trained in leadership coaching, workplace training and sailing instruction. Our core focus is building high performance teams and accelerating the development of teamwork competencies. Sailing is a very team oriented sport and it provides an excellent platform for improving communication, collaboration and developing leadership capabilities required by high performance teams. We work closely with our clients to determine the best form of experiential training in order to achieve the goals and the objectives of their event.

“While our team dynamics were positive to begin with, since the team building day, I have seen a noticeable increase in communication in the team. There is also a renewed sense of partnership in our work projects. It was a worthwhile exercise, which will continue to pay dividends for our team well into the future.”
– Nicholas Swales, Principal, Office of the Auditor General of Canada

SAILING AND WORK…What’s the link?

Sailing reflects the workplace in many ways:

  • Techniques (we’ll show you) for maximizing a sailboat’s performance are very similar to maximizing a company’s performance
  • Sailing performance depends on a dynamic interaction between skipper (team leader) and crew (team members)
  • Successful completion of a job with participants working closely together carries the same challenges onboard as in a work environment
  • Corporate Program
  • Teamwork = Productivity

  • Improve team work through collaboration and co-operation
  • Build team confidence, morale and rapport
