Transend Kayak & Cook-off Survivor Challenge
Port Arthur - December 2006

"The whole experience was great. You guys were well organised with all the activity's planned, there wasn't one game I didn't enjoy or walk away from not having learnt something new about someone.

"Before going to port Arthur I didn't really know the people I worked with well, having only been at Transend for 4 weeks, my first opinions of people changed after the 2 days, I gained a real respect for everyone, and learnt how to understand the way they think and work better. I also gained a sense of trust, being able to trust other members of the team.

"Since coming back to work I have been able to use some of the things I have learnt about people to help me when working with them, also there is a sense of closeness between our work team.

"I had never done anything like this for team building in a workplace. I didn't expect to learn so much whilst having a fun time. I would recommend it to all work places to help build better attitudes and relationships between workers."

"From my point of view the exercise was well organised and executed, and achieved its objectives. Overall it was a great couple of days that everyone is still talking about."

Superpartners Road Rally & Cook-off Survivor Challenge
Hobart to Port Arthur to Devonport - December 2006

"I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you again. We all really enjoyed our time with your team and found the exercises to be a good source of learning. Some of our group commented on your professionalism and thoughtfulness. Thanks again."

...and a subsequent, more formal response:

"You worked with us to develop activities that were innovative and complementary, and also supported many of the leadership themes presented in our training. The events were refreshing and enjoyable, including a treasure hunt, the Port Arthur Cook-Off and the Cross-Country Cheese Race. It is difficult to pick one highlight, as each had its own emphasis in a wonderful location.

"Perhaps the element that created the greatest positive in our experience was our interaction with all the Team Discovery crew members. You were unflappable, positive and endlessly energetic. Our participants remarked upon your team's professionalism and patience. Moreover, you were all good conversationalists!

"You also informed us of local venues and conditions, providing us with the additional support that can only come from someone with solid local knowledge."

ResMed Survivor Challenge with Cook-off - July 2006

"Thanks Geoff. Kim LOVED your activity, as did her whole group."

Vicki Dale
Event Coordinator

"Our team didn't know what to expect, as all activities were a surprise, however, everyone enjoyed each experience with anticipation of what was to come next. All commented on how well both teams performed together to get to that end result. I think each person took away some important lessons to do with teamwork and how well we can continue to work together in the future. We look forward to the opportunity to work with the "Team Discovery Team" again in the future. Once again, thank you for one of the biggest highlights of our 2006 July Sales Conference"
