Shell Attitudes was the theme for this Team Training event and with three key behaviours the focal point- Passion, Reliabity, and Efficiency, we were ensuring these were at the forefront of everyone's mind throughout the day.
The Team Building event had an early kick off as the sun shone brightly across the beautiful Woodbank, after a welcome introduction from Team Challenge Company and a safety brief the group was broken up into 3 teams, these were the 6 Pack, Young'ins, and Smurfs. The gauntlet was thrown down and for the teams it was game on.
The overall objective was to work together to achieve success in each of the tasks and each team was in competition against each other whilst working toward a common goal of Safety, Communication and Team Building at the very top of the list.
After the first Ice breaking Team Building activity it was the 6 Pack that took the early lead- just look at their Photos! Before lunch the teams had the Blind intent and Stepping Stones Team Building challenge to take part in and with their Shell Attitude cards choose to play them as jokers for double points if they exemplified that attribute during the task- so it was pretty much points for all round - such competition!.
Lunch followed with a re focus on safety and playing the Joker cards to full advantage as the tasks became even more challenging.
The Rollerball Team Building activity was completed by all teams and some had played their Joker Cards which gave them double points. The best team on this task were team 6 Pack , with a fantastic time of 46 seconds, and deserved the points and the huge respect that went with it.
In the afternoon Team Building activities were taken on including Catapult when team Young'ins stepped up and delivered a truly outstanding result, with almost a football length shot, respect ! And with more points up for grabs on the Finale Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting - the focus and competition was at an all time high .
As the bell tolled to mark the end of the Team Building activities the teams returned back inside to take part in the Prize Giving after a round up of the objectives and successes of the day..
Some bad news followed when it came to the Scores On The Doors, we will leave it to you to decide if this was bribery that won out on the day ...NOT !.
Special Thanks went out to Vicky for her excellent organisation of the day to great applause from all.
The Team Development Training day with Shell had proved to be a complete success, with all in attendance thoroughly enjoying the Team Building challenges and tasks throughout the day, your effort and enthusiasm really shone through during the event , and we at Team Challenge Company certainly look forward to working with you again in the near future.
Excellent event at Shell Woodbank and the sun actually shone !
Congrats to Team 6 Pack - the Quality shone thru on the day.
Thanks to Vicky for her organisation leading up to and at the day itself it was very much appreciated.
Hope to see you all again for the re- match !
