Team4Teams has no training locations of its own, as we like to connect to the specific needs of the client.

Our counsellors live around Amsterdam. We are happy to come to the location of your choice. As far as we are concerned, this is also possible in-company.

We recommend good venues to suit your budget.

A scouting location or sports club with a food truck is of course also possible.

What we need is a spacious and sheltered lawn or a spacious, well-ventilated hall.

If you want to work online, our preference is for each to work from his or her own computer participates. A computer is preferable to a tablet or mobile phone. Participating can simply be done from home, as long as the environment is not distracting.

Our approach to team training in Amsterdam

We see team training primarily as a process. The team members with their questions are central. The activities and assignments are a means to raise these issues in a group dynamic process. A group naturally gets into a conversation about these. The facilitator asks questions and thus steers along. Learning by doing.

Our team training can take place live in a group indoors and outdoors on location and partly online. Consider a preparatory meeting or an evaluation.

The programmes are substantive, attractive and fun to do. We choose them with care: what does this team currently need to take the next step in development? What is going on, what does the team want to work on, what do they want to explore? Confidence? Leadership? Self-management? Cooperation? Creativity? Perseverance? Dealing with contradictions?

The strength of a programme lies in the alignment, new insights and reflections on them. We conclude with a translation to the work situation. What is important for each of the participants to do themselves?

A team day is an important step, but the real work takes place afterwards in the workplaces. Participants get to work on their resolutions, where the effect of the team day becomes truly visible. Space and encouragement to take up resolutions are called 'securing'.

How Team4Teams aligns

Yes. In our programmes, it is paramount that everyone can participate. Everyone is a member of the team and thus gets a role. So this also applies to people with disabilities, whichever they are.

Consultation in advance allows us to tailor well to the group.

There are physical team exercises for teams that want to expend their energy (in competition) and strategic team exercises, where physical conditions do not play a role, but where the emphasis is on creativity, out-of-the-box thinking and leadership, for example.

Subcontractors contribute in a team

We advise you to interpret the term 'team' as broadly as possible. These are our considerations:

• It is not only permanent employees who can contribute positively to team growth. Self-employed and temporary workers also often contribute positively unseen. Seeing, appreciating and rewarding this pays off handsomely!
• The real work starts only after the team training, when all good intentions have to be realised. It helps if temporary staff also want to carry this along.
• Cooperation goes better after a day where content is realigned and team members make history together.

Optimal cooperation is only possible if everyone contributes. We therefore recommend inviting executives, managers and board members as well. By doing so, you emphasise the importance you attach to the intended goals and cooperation.

Sometimes cooperation between teams is the bottleneck. Then it can have added value to organise a team day in which departments participate mixed. We have good experiences with this.

A shared experience works.

Expert guidance

• Our instructors are young and enthusiastic. Instructors are the best choice for short team programmes and are also top for low-skilled groups. Having fun working together is key.
• Skilled team trainers focus on the group process and teaching communication skills. The team is central to this and our exercises are a tool. Team trainers guide teams from 4 hours and are the best choice for MBO and HBO-educated teams.
• Experienced team coaches go through a longer process together with the team. They make knots in the cooperation visible and open for discussion. Rusty patterns can be broken with the help of a team coach. This releases new, positive energy. Team coaches are our best choice for management teams, managers, executives, team leaders and for teams in dire straits.

Our working method

At Team4Teams, improving cooperation in and between teams is key. Besides depth, fun, a look ahead and a relaxed atmosphere are important to us because they support cooperation.

• Our facilitators focus on - and connect with - the healthy aspects of an organisation's culture. And question the existing culture: "Which way of working together is helpful to achieve the goals you have in mind?"
  A culture supported by the organisation and all employees counts. It is a prerequisite for becoming a good team.
• Trainers remain focused on participants' learning questions, even if they change along the way.
• Strong through simple yet complex team exercises and depth of reflection. Learning by doing, also known as experiential learning, erlebnispädagogik and experiential learning.
• Interesting and varied forms of work, indoors, outdoors and online.
• Participants praise our practical approach and surprising outcomes: "Truly an experience!"
