Teambuilding that works!
?Would your company benefit from participating in one of the most powerful team building events available anywhere in the world?
?Frustrated at the difficulty in getting your team to come together for the good of a common company goal?
?Would you like to see even more camaraderie in your teams?
?Would you like to see your teams operate in a more unified way as opposed to a group of individuals operating from a point of self-interest?
?If the answer to the above is yes, we have the ultimate solution!
?The majority of team building events are pointless, make little or no difference and fail to make any lasting impact whatsoever!
?Not really what you would expect to hear from a company that organises team building events is it?
?I made a fascinating discovery many years ago studying peak performance and how powerful teams are created , something I have done for over twenty-seven years.
?I discovered that people bond when they share a profound experience together, as soon as I realised this, I understood why regular team building events rarely if ever have the intended outcome! ?What I discovered has allowed me to create long lasting results for my clients ever since!
But surprisingly it’s only recently that scientists have begun to examine just what makes this experience so uniquely powerful, they discovered how shared adverse or perceived painful experiences can bond groups of people, even strangers together rapidly.
?Perceived danger and the sharing of a profound experience is so inherently powerful that it promotes something called pro-sociality behaviour that fosters social trust, inclusion, and good feelings — ?the very things that make workplaces become somewhere people want to be as opposed to a place they have to go to. Many researchers believe it make teams more cooperative and creative.
?During the event participants?stand around the fire and feel the heat coming from the coals which is between five and six hundred degrees Celsius. The anticipation can be terrifying; However, it also?feels?like a challenge which creates a feeling of exhilaration — it’s this precise combination of fear and anticipation that makes this event so immensely powerful with incredible results. For individuals, the sense of conquest over fear is transformational; on a group level, it’s about overcoming a challenge with team support and it’s this factor that creates cohesiveness and a deep sense of bonding amongst the group.
?Studies have demonstrated that the perceived pain and collective fear and anticipation is a significant part of how this experience promotes bonding. In 2014, psychologists in Australia?discovered that?shared perceived painful experiences can solidify social bonds and has the added impact of creating trust among people even if they weren’t known to each other previously. I have witnessed this so many times at my public firewalk seminars where participants who are unknown to each other go onto enjoy long lasting friendships with people they hadn’t even met three hours earlier.
?When we’re in a “high state of arousal ” through experiencing ?stress, fear, anticipation, and anxiety, our bodies are flooded with neurotransmitters and hormones, such as dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin. These are linked to feelings of trust in those around you, which causes fear to diminish and increases empathy, trust, and a genuine interest in and for other people. Extreme team-building exercises such as firewalking or breaking an arrow with your neck tap into these reactions and promote deep bonding amongst the group.
So many people live small lives and are failing to reach their true potential due to being fearful. Our events foster feelings of fearlessness and opens people up to possibilities, and when you become fearless life becomes limitless for individuals and companies alike. Especially companies that have engaged in events like this.
The bottom line is simply this. There isn’t anyone in the Channel Islands that can offer this unique and powerful experience. A real opportunity to experience profound change and keep the change.
But don’t take our word for it.
I thoroughly enjoyed your talk last night. I have attended a couple of Tony Robbins events as well as having seen Richard Bandler and Paul McKenna. All I can say is that the content of your talks is in line with the world’s best!

We have bought in outside help on several occasions to help us try and build a cohesive and connected team without any luck whatsoever. When you came to us, we were extremely sceptical as you were aware. However, You proved to be one of those rare companies that under promises and over delivers to the extreme. The bond you created with our teams can still be felt and experienced today. It was simply amazing. Thank you.
