At Upfeel, we firmly believe that team buildings can provide much more than just a fun moment together. Your team building or seminar can be an opportunity not only to strengthen cohesion but also to improve communication within the team, stimulate innovation, develop emotional intelligence, and establish new dynamics to enhance future performance.
Here are seven team building ideas that will genuinely help your team progress while offering an unforgettable fun experience.
1. DISC Workshop: Understanding Personalities for Better Team Communication
The DISC model is a tool that helps team members understand their own communication styles and identify the different personality types within the team. Hosting a DISC workshop during a team building or corporate seminar allows each member to understand the profiles that make up their team, thus facilitating future interactions.
Upfeel Advantage: Our workshops include tailored scenarios and group games suited to each team.
2. Innovation and Design Thinking Team Building: Developing Project Management Skills
Design thinking is a user-centered approach that encourages innovation through creative problem-solving. A team building based on design thinking allows the team to work together to find innovative solutions to common challenges, while also developing essential project management skills.
Upfeel Advantage: By incorporating game elements or friendly competition, this workshop transforms a serious thinking exercise into an engaging activity that stimulates both creativity and team spirit.
3. Emotional Intelligence Team Building: Learning to Use Emotions for Collective Effectiveness
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize and manage one's own emotions as well as those of others. Why not take some time as a team to better understand how emotions function and adopt best practices for enhancing collaboration?
Upfeel Advantage: We have designed experiences in partnership with Bernard Anselem, a neuroscientist and expert in the field. The goal is to collectively experience the power of emotions through a mix of coaching and fun workshops: boxing, capoeira, dance, music, collaborative art projects... Learn together while having fun, all while enjoying an unforgettable moment of cohesion!
4. Stress Management Team Building: Learning to Better Handle Stressful Situations
Stress can detract from individual and collective performance. A stress management workshop provides the team with techniques to recognize stress signs and proactively address them, both individually and as a group.
Upfeel Advantage: Our high-level facilitators have a singular goal: to provide you with fun, unforgettable, and meaningful collective workshops. Activities include coaching, relaxation, pilates, meditation, boxing, dance, art, and construction workshops. Teams leave with concrete tips that they can reuse in their daily lives to better manage stress and maintain high performance.
5. Collaborative Artistic Work and Coaching: Visualizing Your Collective Challenges
A collaborative artistic activity, such as creating a mural or a collective sculpture, allows team members to work together on a creative project while being guided by a coach. This activity highlights the importance of individual contributions to a common work and allows visual representation of collective challenges, leaving a lasting trace.
Upfeel Advantage: You will be guided by a specialized facilitator who organizes the session in two parts. First, you will brainstorm in sub-groups on the selected theme (the future of the team, values, communication within the group, etc.). Then, the facilitator will present the style of a famous artist that will serve as the basis for your collective creation. Then, it’s your turn—grab your brushes! You’ll leave with the created artwork, a tangible and symbolic memento of your team's collective effort.
6. Intercultural Communication: Communicating Better Despite Differences
In a globalized world, intercultural communication is becoming increasingly essential. A team building focused on intercultural communication allows the team to better understand cultural differences and learn to communicate more effectively with colleagues from different backgrounds.
Upfeel Advantage: Our specialized coaches will introduce you to the concepts developed by leading figures in intercultural communication in an engaging way while making you experience scenarios and games to enhance communication within your team.
7. Public Speaking: Gaining Confidence and Impact
Public speaking is a key skill in many professional situations. A team building workshop focused on public speaking allows each team member to develop self-confidence, improve impact, and strengthen their capacity to communicate clearly and persuasively.
Upfeel Advantage: Our communication and speaking technique coaches provide fun and practical exercises to enhance your verbal fluency and amplify your impact. Participants leave with concrete tools to shine in their next speeches.
Conclusion
These seven team building ideas offered by Upfeel are extraordinary opportunities for your team to grow together, better understand each other, and function more efficiently, all while having fun. Our senior, specialized facilitators conduct these workshops in an experiential and entertaining manner, ensuring an enriching experience for all participants.
