Practical team-building sessions run by one of our high performance specialists. Participants will be inspired, motivated and will connect with each other through this shared experience.
These workshops will see your team solving practical problems as a unit. They will leave the session invigorated and inspired. The session will involve a number of practical team-buidling exercises supported by feedback and coaching from the Sandstone team.
Many teams have been working remotely for an extended period of time. Many current team-mates have never physically met each other! It is now vital to re-establish the skills required to operate in a face-to-face environment in order to enable your team to maximise its potential.
The client can choose between a number of our high perfomance team specialists, all of whom have an interesting and inspiring background; participants will be able to talk with them and learn from their experience.
Facilitators available to deliver this course include: Colin Gregor - Scottish Rugby 7’s Captain ; Tim Bradshaw - Covert Intelligence Officer; Mandy Hickson - Fast Jet Pilot; Jo Bradshaw - Moutaineer ; Paul Horwood - Army Officer ; Ed Drake - Olympic Skier; Vanessa Ruck - The Girl on a Bike.

Collaboration between Sandstone and the Susan Reid Collection creates a unique leadership and team building experience. The breath taking venues and discrete locations combined with bespoke development programs ensures an effective outcome and ultimately a return on investment.
Walk and Talk. The link between exercise the outdoors and mental health is undeniable. Less discussed is the effect the release of endorphins has on our ability to focus, problem solve and learn. Whilst you are at one of these stunning locations a member of the Sandstone team can lead your group on a hill walking facilitated discussion. The aim is not to “beast” the team but to use inspirational views and light exercise to stimulate uninterrupted team building and collaboration. Depending on your requirements our team can create facilitated discussions based on leadership, team building and resilience.
Leadership and resilience summit. The Sandstone team can operate in a number of ways to support your leadership offsite event. The team can create workshops specifically tailored to your development needs. These can include team building exercises, facilitated discussion groups and leadership development programs. Alternatively the team can “plug in” to your existing program and help to enhance content and engagement.
DISC profiling. In order to accelerate team building and enhanced communication development Sandstone can conduct personality profiling prior to your team arriving. Each delegate will then be given their personal profile and a one to one coaching sessions. The profiles can then be combined to help team members better understand how to cover each other’s blind spots and collaborate.
Bespoke team building and leadership packages. No two teams interact or communicate in the same way as a result you feel as though a bespoke package with specific and measurable outcomes is more appropriate for your team or circumstances.
You can accelerate and enhance the team building process by creating a personality profile for each team member.
If your teams have been working remotely or contain members who have never met before, a personality profiling exercise is very useful in enabling them to more quickly gain a deeper and more effective understanding of each other. Prior to attending a review session each participant completes an online profiling questionnaire. This will then be used to help them understand how they best fit into the team, and how to relate to fellow team members. Each participant receives coaching and feedback on her or his profile, and takes a copy back to the workplace for future reference.
