By undertaking an activity a strong bond within a team can be developed. The closer the relationship between colleagues, the more productive they are. A team building course reinforces or repairs relationships.
Communication in all its forms is the key. Verbal but also non-verbal communication plays an important role in sending messages to another person.
Everybody uses body language. Posture, facial expression, eye contact, distance and closeness: we often express more than the words we say. Yet, few people are really aware of what they and others express through their body language. By becoming more aware of the nonverbal aspects of communication, you can improve your contacts and ensure an enhanced presentation.
By sending the right message on every communication level, you are able to build a climate of mutual respect and trust.
In our view a team building training should be attuned to the needs of the team. That is why we put so much emphasis on customized training.

Our training methods
With an experienced border collie you will learn as a team to herd a flock of sheep in designated areas. Herding (and driving) a flock of sheep ideally suited to strengthen the team spirit.
By doing so we offer you and unique experience by working alongside an experienced shepherd dog that will make you look at your cooperation processes in a new way.
Working with dogs also provides a major contribution to the awareness and development of nonverbal communication. Dogs mainly interact with and respond to body language. This workshop enhances your knowledge and use of body language nonverbal communication.

This training also provides answers to questions such as which one possesses natural superiority and therefore can provide a leaders role in a team, which one is capable of successfully completing a task with or without (minimal) directions and finally which one is a good team player.

Before we start, we take the personal skills of each employee in consideration. In doing so we consider the similarities and differences between everyone attending the course. After assessing everyone, we will propose a program in which workers perform various tasks with one another. As a result, they learn to know each other's skills and how rely on each other.

• For companies we offer customized training
• For individuals we offer open training courses
• For individual coaching, we coach you personally
• The training usually consists of two days but we also offer a one day workshops.

We are very pleased to be working with Hannah and Stuart Watson, who run a lovely French holiday Farmhouse “Muck to Merlot' who offer their field and space for our (team building) events. The events are based on their farm in the heart of France and are run in English or Dutch.
