The Charity Bike Build was fantastic! The challenges the teams did were great & entertaining…but the main event was awesome! When the bikes were built and our franchisees realized these were for little kids who didn’t get a lot, the mood in the room changed. The facilitation was brilliant! Even with 1 weeks’ notice the event was run perfectly! Chad was awesome on the day – arrived early, responded great with our team, took charge & delivered a great lot of challenges! Well done! We were, still are, extremely happy that we chose Total Team Building and the activity that we did. Hats off to Chad, for facilitating so well!
Our Charity Bike Build was great – a really good way to get out of the work head space and into having fun and team building. We received good feedback from the team and they enjoyed it thoroughly. Nicole was very confident and friendly and also kept to time well. It was great – we only wish we had more time to spend on team building! Thank you
Our Let’s Get Cooking event was a great success and whilst not all participants were happy to have to spend an afternoon cooking, it wasn’t too long before they realized it was more fun than hard work. The coordination was great – very flexible to meet our needs. Facilitation was key to this being a successful event. You did a great job of engaging everyone, your quit wit made the afternoon very funny. Well done! Thank you very much for a fun filled event that was very easy and stress-free for me to organize. The photo collage was a lovely surprise and great reminder of the day. Once again – thank you
Our Charity Bike Build program was very well received by the team and was a fun interactive day with great team building activities. The team building activities were very engaging and time efficient to ensure the teams interest was engaged the whole time. Total Team Building would definitely be recommended by all who attended as the activities and coordination ran very smoothly and allowed all to participate including the organisers which was great! The facilitation and co-facilitation was impeccable and could not be faulted. Darren is a very great public speaker and managed to engage a very diverse team for the whole duration of the event so should be commended on this. The activities were very well designed and support was provided throughout by the facilitators if needed. Both facilitators were friendly and approachable which made a big difference to participation. A big thank you to Total Team Building for organising and facilitating such a great team building experience. It was a great touch allowing us to donate the bikes to children in departmental care it was a great eye opener to the service our organization supports. Thank you for making our team building day so successful!
For most of our employees our Charity Bike Build was the highlight of their day on Monday! Our management team were surprised by some people’s reaction to it (some introverts stepped in and took over the activity with the kids and not leaving them until they were almost on the bus). This gave us a window into some people that will help build more fulfilling relationships on site. The coordination from Total Team Building was very good, Katie and Darren did a lot of preparation and really listened and understood what we needed to get out of the event. The facilitation were very good as well. It was good that I could take part in the activity without having to worry about what needs to happen next. Thank you for a very well organized and facilitated event! It really hit the mark by giving our employees perspective and a way in which they could contribute to the community. These activities goes a long way in adding purpose to your job and feeling that you can make a difference even in a small way!
The Scavenger Hunt was a lot of fun and well planned. Everyone had an awesome time and haven’t stopped talking about it. The route that was mapped out for us really made us discover Perth and everyone worked well as a team to find the landmarks and items that needed to be collected. It brought some people out of their comfort zone by doing the tasks that were given to us. The planning was well taken care of by Total Team Building. Katie was very patient and helpful especially as there were many changes and lots of ‘waiting periods’ for me to get back to her with information. Any questions I had were answered quickly. Darren, who coordinated the event on the day, was friendly and very professional. A lot of our staff said he was very pleasant and chatty. I was also pleasantly surprised to get the photo links sent to us so quickly as well! Thank you to Katie and Darren for organizing such a fun and energetic event for our Company. It was a great experience and we would definitely recommend your company to others.
The Go Race (now known as our Amazing Race) program was planned & structured to incorporate specific elements of the strategy we were presenting to our employees, rather than being an off the shelf/one size fits all program. Katie & Darren provided great guidance in how to best get across our messages to our employees. This allowed us to debrief the Go Race activities during our afternoon strategy presentation and link these activities back to the strategy. During our Go Race it was very clear that all of our employees were having a great time and enjoyed the various challenges put in front of them. All employees were encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves, and the program allowed them to do this in a supportive environment. It was fantastic for our Management Team to be looking at 70 happy, excited and a little bit tired employees at the end of our event. Many employees have asked when we will be able to organise another event. The coordination & preparation of our event was first class. We had ongoing discussions regarding the various activities, the schedule for the event and contingency plans should the weather be unfavourable. In the days leading up to the event it looked as though we would need to go with Plan B due to forecast heavy rain. Total Team Building planned accordingly, leaving the decision as late as possible and staying in touch with us. Fortunately the weather held out and we were able to proceed as originally scheduled. On the day Darren & the team of facilitators were outstanding in coordinating with each other at the various checkpoints, ensuring each activity ran smoothly and that each employee was getting the most out of the experience. It was also great that our Management Team that were not participating in the Race were able to tag along to watch and assist wherever possible. We could not have asked for a better run, more effective, enjoyable event, especially given the very reasonable cost for the morning’s activities. Thank you so much to Darren, Katie & the team, and we look forward to working with you again soon. Thank you all again!!!
“The Vault” team building activity was well facilitated and fun! Lots of interesting puzzles for the team – got us thinking and more importantly, got us to know one another a bit better as well! It was very well facilitated and coordinated on the day. The facilitator was excellent to balance out the natural tension between ‘managing the session to a schedule’ (timing) and achieving the objectives of ‘team building and having fun’ (quality). The facilitator was able to do both successfully. Thanks for your support and looking forward to working with your organization again in the future. Also great that you have invested in producing a really nice looking and quality trophy at the end… makes a big difference as part of remembering the experience.
We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants regarding our Charity Bike Build program. On a scale from 1(bad) to 10 (good) 94% of participants scored the day with 10 (42%), 9 and 8. The team building activity was mentioned by most of the participants in the top 3 things they appreciated about the away day event. The co-ordination and facilitation was in one word: flawless. I appreciated the professionalism and communication of Total Team Building and would highly recommend them to my colleagues. A big “thank you” to Total Team Building team, especially for organizing for the kids to come along. Furthermore, I was very impressed that safety was as important to organisers as it is important to Shell – having the bikes checked and fixed by a professional.
We can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to take part in your Charity Bike Build program. The kids have talked non-stop about how much they enjoyed the program and how touched they were to actually see the kids who had been chosen to receive the bikes, get to present the bikes and then help them learn to ride them. Some of the comments from the kids were: “Easily the best thing I have ever done”, “I felt so touched to see the kids and to have helped them”, “Such a worthwhile thing to do and we should do more of this”, “Awesome”, “The best feeling”, “I cried”, “Inspiring”, “Amazing – just can’t describe”, “Was a good feeling”, “Makes you realize how lucky we are”. We have every intention of including this activity in our Leadership Program each year. So very, very worthwhile and such a good way for our Leaders, indeed anyone, to give back to others less fortunate than themselves. Co-ordination was perfect, the program was extremely well designed and appropriate to the topic. Darren was a great facilitator and the kids thought he was awesome and fun. High praise indeed from our kids!
