Team Off-sites
One or two days in nature, working together on what matters most to your team.
What's the point?
Research shows that structured reflection can improve team and individual performance by around 25%. Two days together give your team the time and structure to do it properly, and the Team Pulse shows what changed.
Time to reflect and decide
Structured reflection can improve team and individual performance by around 25%. Two days give the team the time and structure to do it properly, with an outside facilitator.
Focus on what matters
Away from emails and meetings, the team can finally work on the things that never fit into a normal week.
A shared experience
Working through challenges together creates a common reference point and brings together people who rarely work side by side.
From ideas to actions
The days end with clear, agreed ways of working, and your Team Pulse shows later what actually changed.
Why outdoors in nature?
Good for your health
Exposure to natural light and fresh air has a powerful effect on our moods. It boosts serotonin production in the brain, which helps us to regulate our moods and feel uplifted.
Boosts creativity
Natural spaces stimulate imagination and serve as the medium of inventiveness and creativity.
Decision-making skills
Exposure to natural environments improves cognitive functions, enabling clearer thinking, increased focus, and better decision-making skills.
Choose your focus
Every team is different, so every off-site is too. You choose the dimensions of the Essentials of Team Performance your team wants to work on, such as trust, communication or decision-making, and we design the days around them. Every off-site includes the Team Pulse before and after, so you don’t just hope it worked: you can see what changed.
Purpose
Purpose · Goals · Commitment & Team First
Why the team exists and where it’s heading. Strong teams share a clear purpose, translate it into goals everyone understands, and commit to them, putting the team ahead of individual agendas.
Trust
Trust · Psychological Safety · Fun
The foundation everything else is built on. Team members trust each other, feel psychologically safe to speak up, ask questions and admit mistakes, and enjoy working together. Fun is part of it, because teams that enjoy each other’s company connect more and bounce back faster.
Accountability
Accountability · Decision Making · Roles & Responsibilities
Clear expectations, followed through. Everyone knows their role and responsibilities, decisions are made well and on time, and people can count on each other to deliver.
Growth
Innovation & Problem Solving · Adaptability · Continuous Learning & Improvement
How the team keeps getting better. Strong teams adapt as circumstances change, solve problems creatively, and keep learning and improving, rather than waiting for something to go wrong.
Collaboration
Collaboration · Open Communication · Effective Conflict Resolution
How people work through things together. Team members share their work, communicate openly, and handle disagreement constructively instead of avoiding it.
Your place or mine?
Most of our team development sessions take place outdoors, surrounded by nature. No screens, no PowerPoints, no phones, no distractions. Just your people, connecting, learning and growing together.
We can organise our sessions almost anywhere in the world, including close to your office. It all depends on your preferences and possibilities. But if you’re up for something a little different, I’d love to bring you to a magical place in the north of Spain, where nature provides the perfect setting to step away from the everyday, reconnect and become a stronger team.
So, the question is: your place or mine?
Some examples
What people say
Having Alberto help us become a better team was a fantastic experience. Thanks to his approach and the way he structured the program, we embarked on a journey of individual and collective reflection that has led us to be a team with a clear purpose, with greater clarity around each member’s contributions, and above all, with the confidence to tackle any challenge. And, although there were difficult conversations, we had a great time and still look back fondly and proudly on many of those moments and how far we’ve come. Thank you, Alberto!
I had the opportunity to have Alberto’s help on a few occasions. As a manager, it was important to give my teams the opportunity to go beyond their daily job and responsibilities and allow them to stop and reflect on what makes them fulfilled while finding their purpose. His sessions were brilliant and different because we were immersed in nature, not in a meeting room or a Zoom call.
