Bespoke Conference Energiser and Ice Breaker
It’s very refreshing when a client calls with an almost perfectly complete idea of what they want to achieve on their event. Most enquiries we receive require our office managers to suggest and create team events from all the possibilities that are available to them. A few months ago, brand clients called with a brief that [Continue Reading]
Surprise After Team Building Surprise in Dubrovnik
Last week, I spent four days with a European pharmaceutical company, based in Dubrovnik (Croatia), where we demonstrated the value of creative team building activities for all types of people.
