Team building through bread making

How effectively does your team work together? Is everyone clear what they should be doing and why, and is everyone well-motivated? How are decisions made, how is work delegated, and how does the team learn as a whole and apply this to each new task?

Or perhaps you have a specific need such as accelerating the formation of a new team, re-motivating or refreshing an existing team, or addressing conflict?


The workshop:

Whatever your need, we can build a workshop around you. It may be as simple as having a great day out together, learning a new skill.

Or we can design a longer workshop where your team will work together to plan, bake and deliver quality bread to a top restaurant. As well as having enormous fun, you will learn to recognise your own team’s dynamics and understand how to work together better.


The outcomes:

Overall, the team can expect to get a better understanding of the complex dynamics of team working, and will begin to recognise patterns which can introduce conflict or de-motivate in other ways. Individually, team members will learn to consider the effect of their own working styles on others, and how to respect the different skills, values and aptitudes of their colleagues.

Effective teams can increase productivity, quality of work and output, efficiency, effectiveness and also staff retention. This workshop will be both a catalyst and a learning opportunity so that the team begins to plan better, work together better, and perform better.


The trainers:
