The Sandstone Team Building Blog

An odd title for a team building blog entry, for sure.  Who or what else could it be for?  The answer to the question lies in our background.  Once upon a time, we were a training company, delivering long term learning and development programmes to managers, leaders and teams alike.  All of our activities show these roots.  Structured debriefs and focused learning is available with each and every one of our activities.  These debrief sessions can take just a few minutes, but with our more learning-focused activities, they can take as long as the activity itself.  For example, full two day events for the likes of Liberation are very common and extremely rewarding for the participants.

For those who want it, this focus on learning allows our unique and engaging options to be used within leadership development programmes.  Indeed, only last week, Liberation delivered a very successful two day event that was the third module of a long term “Leadership Potential” development programme for people aiming to become senior managers within a “household name” client of ours.  This group is not a natural work team itself, but its members are working their way together through this demanding yet powerful programme.  Liberation was able to help them really understand the differences between leading a small team and being a much more senior, visionary leader within a large organisation.

It’s great being flexible!  Our facilitators get  lot of variety in the work anyway, thanks to the wide spread of our portfolio, the great mix of client organisations and the range of group sizes that we work with.  Yet the occasional foray back into long term development programmes is an opportunity that we enjoy immensely.
