If you're looking for team building workshops and activities, you'll find even more over at www.team-build.net
Here at Communications In Action, our focus is on creating focussed and effective team building workshops that align and refine the skills already within your team. After all, you recruited the people in the team for their unique strengths and abilities, so we work to enhance those skills through team motivation and a sense of common purpose.
For some clients, this simply means that we facilitate a team meeting or planning session. Our skills in helping people align to team goals and in uncovering hidden issues help you to get the results you want, easily. For other clients, this means team building "away days" that combine serious learning with serious fun.
We create bespoke team building activities that deliver specific results for you and your business. We strongly believe that if you want to reward your team, reward them. If you want to help your team reach peak operational effectiveness through well aligned skills and a clear sense of purpose, then design something that achieves that specific goal. We design activities that are challenging and fun and that translate directly back into high performance for the team.
We work with a select number of event management and activity partners to create an event which is truly memorable and absolutely unique.

Imagine a team that operates at peak effectiveness through motivation, shared vision and individual talent.
How does it get there? How do you build that shared vision?
Team Building is an active process by which a group of individuals with a common purpose are focused and aligned to achieve a specific task or set of outcomes.
Team Building simply accelerates the natural process of team formation by setting very clear goals right from the start. A "team building" workshop uses a variety of tools and techniques to accelerate the process further, bringing the team together quickly and effectively.
Every member of a team is an individual with their own skills, needs and ideas. Being a member of a team does not take away that individual identity, so it is very important to recognise and exploit it whilst aligning it with the common purpose of the team.
Effective team building recognises that individual identity. Effective team building takes individual, personal goals and combines them into a common purpose. Everyone in the team is motivated and driven by what they get out of it, personally.
It's easy to all agree to common goals at a team meeting, but when it comes to taking action and making that action consistent, it's very difficult to keep on track if team goals conflict with personal goals. In a situation like this, the team can feel like it's being pulled in many different directions - and often it is. This can happen because of conflict within the team, but it's much more usual to see this simply through the lack of clear and explicit direction. With clear leadership, conflict in a team is healthy and productive. We build that leadership and direction into the fabric of the team, so each individual can operate to the best of his or her ability to create a powerful team dynamic. |

Our team building workshops are designed to create powerful alignment in the team. People still operate as individuals with their own unique needs and motivations. What's different is that those motivtions are now aligned in pursuit of a common purpose. People are taking action and enjoying commitment - not because they're told to, not because their colleagues are - because they get personal benefit from achieving that goal. Simply, we build teams that thrive on high performance. |

The TEAM approach ensures that all of the critical factors to a team's success are built into every workshop. First, we ensure that Targets are set for the goals, outcomes and purpose of the team. Second, we create the Energy that a new team needs, drawing upon both aspiration and inspiration. Third, the team has to have the right Attitude, so that it's pointing in the right direction and with the right level of commitment. Finally, Motivation is just the final push that the team needs to get going together with the support it needs to keep moving. |
By designing each of our TEAM workshops around this simple philosophy, we ensure fast, effective and powerful team building whatever the size and purpose of the team.
