🚨 True Crime and Controversy 🚨

Why does true crime captivate so many of us? In our latest blog, Helen reflects on her visit to Serial Killer – The Exhibition World Tour, questioning the line between education and exploitation.

Check out her thoughts on Jeffrey Dahmer's glasses, inappropriate photographs and outdated terminology👇🏻

It can be daunting trying to choose between the thousands of different team building activities on offer.

To begin to narrow it down, ask yourself the following:

❓How big is the team? Do I want mega participation in a big game or people working together in couples or groups of 3 or 4?

❓Are there any weaknesses or issues I want to address? And if so, do they require a fast and fun filled approach or would something more methodical pinpoint the problem?

❓Are my team suited to a physical activity or a cerebral one? Do they want to win a game or solve a puzzle?

❓Will my team actually enjoy the activity? It sounds silly because of course there needs to be an element of challenge but really think about what is going to help them shine and progress, not drag them down into boredom.

🎃 Halloween Spotlight: Team Spirit in Action! 🎃

It’s Halloween, so what better time to talk about building team spirit (pun definitely intended)! Inspired by my role as co-chair in our local amateur dramatic group, I’ve seen firsthand how productions like Dracula are crafted with dedication, overcoming countless challenges to create performances we’re all proud of.
