Argyll Coast Team Decelerator 26th – 28th May 2020

JOIN US IN ARGYLL!

Tuesday 26th – Thursday 28th May 2020

When was the last time you took time out of the business with your team to work on the business? To think about who you are, and reflect on what it is to lead successfully together? To deepen trust, develop courage and boost creativity? To energise around bold thinking, collaboration, and fresh strategic action?

It’s time to slow down and breathe a bit. It’s time to decelerate!

If any of these apply to you, our Argyll Coast Team Decelerator will provide the space, challenge, support and inspiration you need to boost team performance and resilience, and create the conditions for strategic success.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We create experiential thinking environments in amazing Scottish spaces using unconventional coach-facilitators who will challenge the way you think in all sorts of creative and compelling ways. And we’ll build in as much fun and laughter as you like but won’t let you escape without getting really stuck into the challenges you need to resolve!

In addition to a bespoke residential team decelerator programme, the package includes 3 fee-free* follow-up coaching sessions to support the implementation of the changes you decide to make.

We’ll be based out of fabulous Portavadie on the shores of Loch Fyne, Argyll. We’ll be able to head right out the door to get fresh air, inspiration, and perspective.

You will already be sold on the benefits of the outdoors but if you need to persuade others, check out our “Why outdoors – 7 Great Reasons?”

We will include walks to empty beaches and vantage points over this magical land, sea, and island scape. And there will be the opportunity to take to the water and canoe across a sea loch and see seals at play.  All expertly led and creatively facilitated by a highly experienced team that will deliver on your objectives.

Indoors, we’ll enjoy fabulous workshop space with big views out across Loch Fyne. And we’ll build in time to enjoy Portavadie’s health & fitness facilities including its spectacular Infinity Pool.
