Team building is very important both for the company and for the employees themselves. Today we will show you 3 strategic team coachings. First of all: all three are really challenging. Now you don't have to think 'Oh dear, another coaching day in a room, at a table with a coach in front ...' who feels like a star model on the catwalk. Our team coaching sessions are specifically designed for strategic team building and are also a lot of fun.
And that's what we hope you'll do now: enjoy reading our post on our top three team coaching sessions for strategic team building that will boost creativity among all participants, understanding of each other, and teamwork.
Why is team coaching important?
First of all, let's reinforce the fact that team coaching is more than important. There are many team building agencies out there but very few that know team coaching. We have been doing this for many years and unlike the typical dry coaching sessions in the hotel meeting room, we like to get you out of your comfort zone: both mentally and physically.
Our team coaching sessions are about active participation and active change. Strategic parts are the planning of the topic, the structure as well as the implementation and at the end also the presentation. Every team coaching goes along with team projects and promises creative, challenging and encouraging parts. This causes a real change to take place in the minds of the participants.
Team coaching is therefore very important and better than normal team events. Admittedly, our team building measures are all well thought out and give you a push in the right direction. But our strategic team coaching sessions drill a little deeper and can even be extended to several days of strategic team coaching.
Here come three of our best team coaching sessions for strategic team building.
1. labyrinth building XXL + coaching sessions before and after
Building a labyrinth is not only very complex, it also requires the maximum communication with each other. We are probably Europe's only supplier with a fully functional labyrinth system that is 2 meters high and can fill more than 250sqm of space. If all elements are lined up, our labyrinth would be the length of 2.5 soccer fields. This makes it the strongest base for deep strategic actions.
We form a unit of your team
Divided into teams, your guests will first of all put their idea of an XXL Labyrinth Teambuilding on paper. Blueprints and concept drawings are essential for self-discovery. In most cases, there will be heated discussions already in this phase and the alpha animals among you will try to keep their place in the pecking order.
The point of building a labyrinth is precisely that a team must function as a unit. And the dominant guests in your group will have to realize this soon enough. When Phase 1 is complete, the parts of the labyrinth are presented and discussed in the large group under moderation. Once the groups have come to a common denominator, it's time to start building.
From planning to evaluation
The labyrinth itself can be round, square, polygonal and quite imaginative. The teams work in their own areas and the goal is to build a functioning, large labyrinth in one day. Strategic team coaching here provides for units before, during and after the build. Evaluations, streams of thought and comparisons between before / after are triggered.
Labyrinth building is a very intensive team coaching, which will prepare both professionals and managers a very good basis for communication, understanding and respect for each other. The event is suitable for groups of 20 people or more, can perfectly engage up to 80 guests.
2. the tower of power - maximum control in the team
If your team has disagreements from time to time, that is no reason to plan a full-day team coaching with in-depth conflict resolution. However, if there are frequent frictions among your team members or if your team has just undergone a restructuring, you should act. In principle, serious conflicts do not always have to precede.
Intensive but playful borderline experience
Tower of Power Team Coaching deals with exactly these issues in a very intensive but playful way. New teams find each other by creating partner work and thus overcoming initial barriers. The partners change in the process, just like in speed dating, which also adds a bit of dynamism to the process. Existing teams, characterized by conflicts, will experience a paradigm shift at the Team Coaching Tower of Power.
An old game is the basis
The principle is simple: we provide several towers made of wood, reminiscent of the famous game Jenga. The aim is to battle for team victory using the right strategy, a steady hand and courage in partner work. Communication among each other is required. The towers can be up to 2.70 meters high. So we're not talking about clumsy gimmicks. The event is a real challenge.
Partner work is important here, because only in pairs will your focus be completely directed to your counterpart. You will (have to) work with different partners in different rounds. This ensures that you never get used to each other, because that would immediately mean a kind of 'comfort zone'. Communicative coaching sessions will accompany you and we will trigger your sore points in the most impossible moments.
Intensive coaching experience in just one day
Sore points can be direct conflicts between two or more team members or simply the integration of new employees into existing structures. Restructuring a team is not always a pleasant thing. Tower of Power teaches you in just one day that conflicts can always be solved. The right communication with the right tone at the right place can work wonders. Seemingly reserved people become doers.
Tower of Power is a communication tool that we like to use in team coaching sessions. It triggers the will to win in a playful way. But the only victory in the end is the improved communication within the team.
3. the mobile Escape Room experience
We all know Escape Rooms. And there are also some providers in this world who already rent mobile Escape Games. Our mobile Escape Room is not only an experience for teams, but an absolute ice breaker and problem solver. We have developed a concept with it that is unique and interactive at the same time. Get ready for a borderline experience in terms of "employee welcome session".
From trainee to Dax group board member
We would like to emphasize at this point that the Escape Room mobile is often used by companies that want to start an Icebreaker event at trainee, specialist and executive level. The participants should get to know each other better in turn-based, strategically motivated sessions. The ice is broken very quickly as the participants encounter different problems very quickly.
Multiple sessions with different situations
In the process, unimagined forces are released in the still-quiet person, as we address several areas of the brain simultaneously. Communication, courage and leadership are put to the test as well as promoted. The puzzles and tasks are manifold. The participants have to work as a team throughout in order to 'leave' the Escape Room at the end.
Correct, we are talking about a mobile Escape Room. So it's not a locked room in some warehouse building. Of course, we can build that with appropriate decor and lighting from our own portfolio, but that's not what this is about. As soon as the mobile Escape Room is used as strategic team coaching, it is about the team and not about the fun.
Breaking the ice in the team
The fun is guaranteed not to be neglected. There is a lot of laughing, puzzling and above all the guests get closer to each other. The ice is broken and our moderation is a booster in terms of cooperation. To date, every team has managed to solve the very challenging tasks together. Some of our clients also plan individualized storylines with us to address explicit problems or circumstances in their own company.
Coaching modules and productivity
The mobile Escape Room always tells a story in the background. The participants are encouraged and challenged to the maximum. The coaching sessions evaluate previous conflicts and compare them with the newly gained impressions. Scheduled coaching modules with group work and project tasks can also help to boost productivity in the team.
Conclusion
Our strategic team coaching sessions, some of which can also be booked as virtual team events, are ideally suited to strategically promote team building on the one hand and productivity and cooperation within the company on the other. We focus on active modules and proactive, joint conflict resolution and underline this with skillful moderation. We conduct these events with the level of trainees as well as with the management level of various Dax corporations. The storylines, the demand and the intensity are adapted group-specifically to the concrete case, so that it becomes a productive conclusion.
