Soaring Beyond Challenges: Navigating Team Building in the Post-Pandemic Corporate Landscape

In the wake of the the Covid-19 pandemic, the corporate world found itself grappling with two issues – the paradigm shift to remote work and the heightened focus on emotional well-being. There a lot of scheduled company functions that hit the calendar as Team Building. Some of them don’t require much effort by the team, and that’s okay, because not every company Team “Outing” has to produce. Sometimes the team needs to relax and just raise a glass.

However, when the calendar has an opening for an opportunity to offer your people an experiential learning and “building” activity, you probably want their time and your money to be ROI positive. You’d also like the activity to:

• Present a level playing field for all participants (an activity that about 85% of your staff has not previously experienced)

• Open the doors to foster camaraderie from the moment the activity begins

• Create a sense of team member support and leave space for mistakes while simultaneously allowing time for corrections and improvement

• Clearly demonstrate how trusting a knowledgeable and empathetic leader can set them up to succeed even with mis-steps along the way to goal completion.

• Be an experience that’s translatable to real world office scenarios

Flying Trapeze as a group endeavour covers all the bases. Not only do participants quickly find themselves out of their comfort zone, they quickly seek guidance from the activity leader who encourages them to ask. When participating in a team-building challenge at flying trapeze, not only do your employees learn to trust and support each other and follow their leader, your Leaders learn to polish their skills too.

Flying on the trapeze gifts you the platform to “Raise Your Bar,” to try, and not succeed, but still have the safety of the net and the guidance of an instructor (Leader). This venue translates your physical efforts into emotional strength and confidence. Now try again, and be ready to soar to new heights of collaboration, resilience, and success.
