It’s always a bit of magic when a client brings you a task, and you turn it into a full-blown event. Even more magical when it’s a hybrid format—combining outdoor adventure with business and communication discussions. 🌲
Recently, we had the opportunity to design and execute an event for the C-level team of a fast-growing European e-com company.
The task: enhance horizontal communication across the team.
The solution: mountain trekking in Portugal🚶♀️🚶♂️⛰.
It started with excel table on my laptop💻, location points📍 on Google Maps and tracks in Komoot.
By the end, it became a perfectly orchestrated experience where every detail aligned— experienced and client-oriented guides, the right evel of difficulty, the terrain, the canyoning with brave sliding into abbyss, the campings🎪, the meals which were cooked by team members themselves🍔, and match between the landscape🌄 and the topics discussed.
Even small trekking traditions, like leaving a note at the summit and congratulating each other upon reaching the top became powerful metaphors for quick decision-making and celebrating team wins.
What’s even better? When you’re not just the architect of the concept but also the facilitator and guide throughout the event. Being there to help the team navigate both the physical and communication challenges while watching the plan come to life firsthand was incredibly rewarding💕.
I’d love to say the whole team joined hands and sprinted toward success right away😁, but this would be wishful eggageration. Like any great journey, it takes time and building of new habits. However, this was a solid milestone in the team’s progress, and I hope and wish them many more to come. ⛰✨
