The first time that Rich Diction conducted a Team Building exercise, we honestly had no idea what we were doing. That was in 2021.
It was a small group of seven IT professionals who needed to break away from their stress and refocus on the vision and mission of their organisation. The planning was intense and fun, with a lineup of mind-filling games, outdoor energisers and interactive discussions.
It went so well, that we received several other referrals. The biggest group to-date has been the DFCU Bank team. Outdoors at Nyange Resort on Entebbe Road, we choreographed dances, raced in sacks, played football and handball and had a raving time.
Since then, the requests have taken different shapes. Sometimes it's to organise a conflict resolution session, or to speak on digital security, leadership in crisis and so much more.
As a public speaking training company, facilitating various sessions is not that difficult if you make it as simple and palatable as possible, with plenty of interaction and fun. Through stories, dance and genuine connection, there is so much that can be achieved.
Diane Ackerman said that 'Play is our favourite way of learning.'
It may be easier for an extroverted and fun-loving person to conduct Team building and yet nothing could be further from the truth. Team building requires meticulous attention to details, reading the room, taking note of those who are not as outgoing and making sure they are engaged and switching the activities once fatigue sets in, or even allowing time to rest.
The planning requires a fastidious person. It does not matter whether you are a shy individual or outspoken one, once you are able to plan with a keen sense of awareness, then the activity has already landed itself guaranteed success.
