Have you thought about bringing your team for a day out in the beautiful Kent countryside to enjoy some fresh air and learn a new skill!
Before starting my Nordic Walking business in April 2021, I worked as an accountant in a corporate environment. I am well aware of the benefit of days out from the office to help teams de-stress, think creatively and have time to bond.
Time spent outdoors and away from the hectic work environment clears the mind and can also help to improve focus.
Nordic Walking is a specific walking technique – it was developed by cross-country skiing athletes as an activity for the summer months when there is no snow. Unlike trekking (when poles are planted upright for stability), Nordic Walking poles are planted behind you so that they propel you forwards like a skier or like being on a cross-trainer. It is fun to learn, particularly in a group, and your team will probably gel in a different way than in the office!
The benefits are huge:
I also collaborate regularly with other activity providers so you could combine your team event with Qigong (this involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind and spirit for health and well-being) or perhaps some paddleboarding? Or how about having a session with a business mentor to help your team solve a problem or move forward with a particular goal?
Whatever you choose you can have a fantastic team day out in the countryside! Please contact me to find out more and I can help you put together a great day out! I look forward to working with you.
