Toys For Kids – Build Joy, Share Smiles!
Join Forces to Create and Donate Toys for Children in Need
Get ready for a heartwarming adventure with Toys for Kids! In this exciting program, teams embark on a mission to collect and assemble toys that will be donated to a local charity, spreading joy to children in need.
Throughout the day, participants will engage in a series of entertaining activities designed to encourage communication and creative collaboration. As teams tackle each challenge, they’ll gather the components needed to build a variety of toys—everything from toy kitchens and cubby houses to train sets and educational play items.
Once all the activities are complete and the toys are collected, teams will unite to assemble their creations. It’s a wonderful opportunity to bond while making a meaningful impact in the community.
At the end of the program, a representative from the charity will join us to accept the toys, highlighting the difference your teamwork has made.

Testimonials
Here is just a sample of what our past clients felt about our programs.
Fun & Interesting & Catered To All Ages/Capabilities
Our Adventure Quest was great! The challenges were fun and interesting and catered to all ages/capabilities.
It was very well organised and co-ordinated. The app is super easy to use and information providing prior to the event was useful.
Katie was punctual! As soon as we had finished, we received a message and results.
Thank you and we will use Total Team Building in the future.

Thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m missing the light relief now that it’s complete!
We enjoyed it. One of our team members was super-enthusiastic and he got the rest of us organised. Some of the events put some of us outside of our comfort zone e.g. commentating the weightlifting, but most events were completed by my team members in the spirit of the competition. Most importantly it brought individuals together that wouldn’t normally be associated with one another and made us laugh, so from my perspective it was greatly successful. Many thanks to Sandra, Darren and his team.

Thank You For A Thoroughly Enjoyable Day!
The day went really well. Team games were well received and catered for a variety of different skills and abilities – there was something for everyone within the Survivor.
The program was coordinated well – the games weren’t too long or too short which helped to keep people engaged and participating. Equipment was in good order and rotations through the stations went smoothly.
The facilitators were great- good sense of humour and very friendly. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable day!

The Survivor Was Definitely A Program That Catered For ALL
Loved it! The Survivor was definitely a program that catered for ALL. The co-ordination was excellent. The day and activities planned flowed seamlessly and there were sufficient breaks provided considering the hot day. Thank you to Total Team Building team for organising and coordinating such a great event. Our staff thoroughly enjoyed all the activities and will definitely be seeking out your services again.

One Word: Flawless
We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants regarding our Charity Bike Build program. On a scale from 1(bad) to 10 (good) 94% of participants scored the day with 10 (42%), 9 and 8. The team building activity was mentioned by most of the participants in the top 3 things they appreciated about the away day event. The co-ordination and facilitation was in one word: flawless. I appreciated the professionalism and communication of Total Team Building and would highly recommend them to my colleagues. A big “thank you” to Total Team Building team, especially for organizing for the kids to come along. Furthermore, I was very impressed that safety was as important to organisers as it is important to Shell – having the bikes checked and fixed by a professional.

One Of The Best Christmas Party’s We Have Had
Everyone was a little unsure what to expect about the day… but by the end of it everyone was commenting that they had a great day and it was one of the best Christmas Party’s we have had. Awesome job by the facilitators, very professional & helpful with all the tasks. We had a great time.

The Co-ordination & Facilitation Was Perfect Again
They loved it. I have had great feedback from everyone. The co-ordination and facilitation was perfect again. It was stress free from my end. This is the second time I have used your services and will absolutely use you next year too. I think Minute to Win it as suggested by Darren is a good activity for our team next time. THANK YOU. Yes, capital letters is shouting, a very big Thank you. I really do appreciate how easy you make this for me.

Got Us Thinking & More Importantly, Got Us To Know One Another A Bit Better As Well!
“The Vault” team building activity was well facilitated and fun! Lots of interesting puzzles for the team – got us thinking and more importantly, got us to know one another a bit better as well! It was very well facilitated and coordinated on the day. The facilitator was excellent to balance out the natural tension between ‘managing the session to a schedule’ (timing) and achieving the objectives of ‘team building and having fun’ (quality). The facilitator was able to do both successfully. Thanks for your support and looking forward to working with your organization again in the future. Also great that you have invested in producing a really nice looking and quality trophy at the end… makes a big difference as part of remembering the experience.

Really Inclusive & It Highlighted Different Strengths & Abilities
The Treasure Hunt activity was a lot of fun, it was really inclusive and it highlighted different strengths and abilities of all the team members. Rachel was enthusiastic and professional and did a great job encouraging everyone and providing hints when we got stuck! Thank you for a memorable team building session. The engraved medals are a really nice personal touch and memento for the winning team.

It Was A Good Ice-Breaker Particularly As There Was A Language/Cultural Difference
Thoroughly enjoyed our Bridging the Gap, it was a good ice-breaker particularly as there was a language/cultural difference.
The program co-ordination couldn’t have been better!
Darren got everyone engaged and they all took part. Even the ‘head man’ who, because of their culture would normally stand back and let everyone else do the work. The temptation was too much and he joined in too – we even got a photo of him with the glue gun!
Service was superb from beginning to end, particularly as it was all done at such short notice and arranged ‘out of business hours’. Would always recommend you as team building facilitators of choice.

Overall It Was A Fantastic Experience
The team thoroughly enjoyed the indoor Amazing Race activity, thought it was fun and had some good laughs. It is something different to what you would normally have in a team building day. The co-ordination was excellent. Louisa was fantastic to work with. She ensured to get in contact with me with each planning step and was able to answer any of my questions. Jason was also great when he contacted me to confirm he plan of action and offered some suggestions. Overall it was excellent. Deryn was great! I can understand why this activity doesn’t necessarily need a facilitator however having Deryn there added to the experience. He would wonder around the groups laughing along with them. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I cannot thank you and the Total Team Building group enough. We cannot wait to have you back at our next building day.

A Great Way For Us To Contribute Back To The Community
Total Team Building were very professional through all aspects of organising (booking through to execution). The task was a bit left field which was great and the concept of donating the bikes to a children’s charity is a great way for us to contribute back to the community. To that end the senior managers and graduates were very impressed with the event. Both (coordination and facilitation) were terrific. Very prompt reply to emails, sometimes that little bit of extra effort goes a long way and is noticed by people (such as myself)! Katie had to help with a lot of additional work but was always pleasant and helpful to get it done (I doubt I would have been so) Darren was a great facilitator, he was engaging, professional and funny. Great job guys! Everyone had an awesome time and was really impressed and said it’s one of the best team building events that has been done (and we do a lot of team building events…)

The Timing Was Great And The Co-ordination Was Exceptional
The Team really enjoyed the experience… the timing was great and the co-ordination was exceptional. The event went off without a hitch. A good energy lift for the group and a great start to the new year. It was very well communicated, organized and executed.
Thank you… We will certainly consider Total Team Building for any team building events in the future.

One Of The Best Aspects Of The Program Was That The Group Had To Operate As One Team
The team really enjoyed The Vault and the activities. One of the best aspects of the program was that the group had to operate as one team rather than multiple competing against each other. The feedback/debriefing session at the end was also a very nice touch to the whole session. Everything was well organised and completely prepared for. The only hiccup came from our end with the meeting room not supporting the IPad. Darren was very well spoken, encouraging and very responsive to the team dynamic. Just a huge thanks to you and Darren for a wonderful afternoon!

Exceeded My Expectations
Our Treasure Hunt was excellent. Exceeded my expectations. The feedback from the participants was very positive and from my observations as a non-participant I was very impressed with the content and professionalism. The facilitation and co-ordination was faultless. I didn’t have to worry about anything (that meant a lot to me). Darren and Nicole were great. I would love to use you again when I get the opportunity.

They Did It Just Perfectly
Everyone loved it! Such a good day and GREAT team building. Many of our staff were working together for the first time and it was really great to see the photos when we came in on Monday. Hilarious and something we could share with out national colleagues. Many of the comments included ‘They did it just perfectly, just the right amount of direction without being bossy, that’s not easy to do’. I would like to say a particularly large thank you to you guys for making it all happen at such short notice without compromise to the program. It was such a lifesaver for me. I also didn’t have to do anything on the day, not even take photos, so it was really great. We are all recommending you! Thanks so much again and I hope you guys have a great xmas and new year! Look forward to working together in 2013!

Good, Fun Activities Both Skills Based & Brain Based
Our Treasure Hunt consisted of good, fun activities both skills based and brain based. The timing of the program was really good and finished when planned.

Darren is a great facilitator 10/10. Really good at keeping everyone engaged, keeping everyone moving and keeping it light and fun.

Once The Bandanas Were On Things Got Much Much More Serious!
Initially the team were a little skeptical and insisted they weren’t going to take it very seriously but once the bandanas were on things got much much more serious! The facilitators were very good at holding our attention and instructions were clear. We didn’t feel rushed for time and despite the competitive atmosphere amongst the teams, it was actually a very relaxed day. The coordination with the office gave me piece of mind that everyone was going to be exactly where they needed to be on the day but having mobile numbers just in case was a relief (particularly for our caterer who got lost, – a big thank you to Darren for helping her find the right spot). Thanks again for a great day.

Entertaining & Engaging Program
I received many comments from participants saying how much fun the Robot Wars program was, and how much they enjoyed the activities presented that day. Overall, the whole program was very well received.
Organizing and coordinating the event with Total Team Building was straightforward and easy. Katie is very responsive in responding to emails and any questions that I had.
Darren was very well organized for the event and was engaging and attentive to all participants.
Thank you for providing an entertaining and engaging program. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had fun.

The program was a laugh a minute and really incorporated every team member. I really enjoyed the music & the friendly fun nature of Kate & Darren.
Total Team Building seamlessly organized the event which was a huge success. Kate & Darren made all team members feel comfortable and motivated them to get involved in all the activities. The nautical theme was consistent throughout the day and was greatly appreciated. The day was perfect.
Thank you very much for all your efforts and the video just showed what a great time we all really did have. On Behalf of the Team I wish you both a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Safe New Year.

Both Louisa and Deryn did a great job on the day. The teams had positive reviews of the activities and how it was ran.
Thank you! Was bit of back and forth on my end so thanks for your patience, really appreciate it.

It Really Hit The Mark By Giving Our Employees Perspective
For most of our employees our Charity Bike Build was the highlight of their day on Monday! Our management team were surprised by some people’s reaction to it (some introverts stepped in and took over the activity with the kids and not leaving them until they were almost on the bus). This gave us a window into some people that will help build more fulfilling relationships on site. The coordination from Total Team Building was very good, Katie and Darren did a lot of preparation and really listened and understood what we needed to get out of the event. The facilitation were very good as well. It was good that I could take part in the activity without having to worry about what needs to happen next. Thank you for a very well organized and facilitated event! It really hit the mark by giving our employees perspective and a way in which they could contribute to the community. These activities goes a long way in adding purpose to your job and feeling that you can make a difference even in a small way!

Great Opportunity To Be Able To Do Something To Give Back To The Community Yet Still Have That Team Bonding Environment
Great opportunity to be able to do something to give back to the community yet still have that team bonding environment.
Great organization by team. The lead up to our event was very straight forward and clear. All details were covered and our expectations well managed.
Both Jason and Deryn were great. They were there early to get everything set up and ready to go by the time the team arrived. They set the tone for an engaging, enthusiastic session.
It was a really nice touch to be able to have a rep from the charity available to come and talk to the team about exactly where the bikes were going and what type of work they do.

I Will Certainly Be Recommending Total Team Building To The Rest Of Our Organisation
Hi Katie & Darren I would like to thank you very much for the wonderful afternoon my team and I had on Friday. We all enjoyed the Scavenger Hunt thoroughly and had a lot of fun and a pile of laughs. For me, it highlighted some hidden talents throughout my team and certainly brought out the natural leadership skills from some surprising team members and most importantly, brought the team together. Rachel was fantastic with her bubbly, friendly approach, please pass on our thanks to her. I will certainly be recommending Total Team Building to the rest of our organisation for their team building events and I can’t wait for next year’s budget to be approved to start planning our next event. I can’t wait to see the photos.

There Has Been Nothing But Rave Reviews
WOW. Everyone loved the Win it in a Minute program. There has been nothing but rave reviews. I dare say we will play some of the games again soon. Total Team Building’s co-ordination was exceptional. We are a very extraverted group and its never easy to keep everyone focused and following instructions. Darren did an outstanding job of keeping everyone interacting and working as a team. I would like to extend my sincere thanks for an unbelievable afternoon/evening. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. At short notice, within budget and time frame and in the comfort of our office. It was really exactly what we were looking for and more. Right from the initial phone conversation, Katie you were so helpful and reassuring through to Darren being on time, prepared and a fantastic host. You also took photos and a video AND we got personalized medallions! I will certainly be using you guys again soon and telling others. Thanks so much!

The Co-ordination Was Brilliant!
We had fun during our Vault program and it made us work together with different people that we don’t usually work with closely.
The co-ordination was brilliant!
Darren was awesome, he had us engaged the whole time. It was a fantastic day, we all thought the adventure challenge was awesome that we did a couple of years ago, but the team say that this was better as we weren’t competing against each other, and that we had to work together to get the outcome.

The Whole Experience Was 10/10 Thankyou!
The whole Adventure Quest program was wonderful and the communication was excellent in terms of getting everything setup and ready to go for the day. The co-ordination was wonderful. I didn’t have to think about a single thing as it was all taken care of for me! Basically the only task I had to do was send through the trivia questions and even that was made very easy for me. The app is great and the fact that I could get the images and videos taken from the app almost immediately was amazing! Dean was awesome and accommodated us so well on the day. His communication and grouping together of the staff in their teams was excellent given that there were 100 people all with hangovers! The whole experience was 10/10 thankyou! The buzz in the room following the activity was exactly the outcome that we were looking to achieve.

Also the extra touch (water and sunscreen and chairs) is very highly appreciated (you don’t know how much this has helped our logistics and getting there on the day).
Darren has done a good job with instruction & engaging all participants.
A great day out, thank you for taking the effort to get all the kids in. The most valuable day for participants is the end where they see the kids faces so this part is crucial. Thank you very much!

Especially Seeing The Kids Riding On Their New Bikes
I have heard from many of my colleagues how much they enjoyed the challenges, and how great the outcome was, especially seeing the kids riding on their new bikes. The challenges provided great opportunities to encourage team building and to get to interact with and develop team relationships in a limited time. It was a well run and structured program that had an added benefit of delivering bikes to children in need. The coordination was well managed, and facilitated 8 different groups at various stages of different activities without hampering the progress of any team. I will keep you in mind and recommend you to our other functional teams in the future.

Everyone thought it was great. We had so much fun. It brought out a competitive side in a lot of people I never thought existed. Was a wonderful way to break the ice between team mates that haven’t really had much to do with each other. It was brilliant not having to worry about anything on the day and also leading up to the event. It was all taken care of for me and absolutely nothing went wrong. It was wonderful.

We’ve Discovered Many Hidden Talents Among Our Staff That We Wouldn’t Have Before!
Unfortunately I was unable to attend the Adventure Quest on the day, but all reports that came back were very positive. Lots of the activities required participants to get well out of their comfort zone which can be scary but really rewarding, now we’ve discovered many hidden talents among our staff that we wouldn’t have before! This was also a great opportunity for us to get staff mingling with people in departments they wouldn’t normally spend much time with, a great bonding experience!
The co-ordination of the program was flawless, communication was great every step of the way and on the day instructions were easy to follow and well communicated.
Just another huge thank you to Louisa and the Total Team gang, you were willing to work with us to fit into our very limited budget which as an NFP is really encouraging and meant that we were able to put on a great day for our staff who work so hard. A superb level of professionalism and communication demonstrated from start to finish, just a great customer service experience!

Great Way To Break The Ice With Each Other
We all really enjoyed the Vault program. It was great that we all got to work together on so many activities rather than be split into smaller groups. The linkages of the activities to communication and team work in the office taught us many useful lessons. The coordination of the event was wonderful. It was so smooth and easy for us to organise. Liaising with Katie was great. She was more than happy to answer all of our questions and accommodate us. Darren’s facilitation was very well done. He explained the tasks well beforehand and gave us good direction. We probably could have had a little more engagement and help from Darren when we were struggling but understand that working it out ourselves was the whole idea. Darren’s ‘debrief’ at the end was very good. It was really important to share what we had learnt with each other and also have him share his observations as well. Darren is a great communicator and the tasks were really fun and a great way to break the ice with each other (especially doing the leg tie one first).

Will Be Using You & The Team Again For Other Events Without Question, Superbly Done
Your team were outstanding! A great level of professionalism, engagement and interaction with the team and within 5 minutes we were amazed at how they all jumped in and were a part of what was going on. Our theme for the day was ‘Team”, Darren and his team demonstrated both by their actions and the events they put on exactly what we wanted, working together, sharing a common goal and striving to achieve is what we can do and in fact did on the day! I will be using you and the team again for other events without question, superbly done, my thanks and ongoing support and recommendations to anyone who asks will be passed on! Really great job guys!

It Ensured People Had To Work Together & Strategise
Our program was an excellent way for the team to bond and get to know each other better. It ensured people had to work together and strategise. “The Chad” was great, he kept everyone on track and served it up to those who did not. We will be back for more!

We Were 100% Satisfied With The Facilitation
The feedback received by the participants regarding our Charity Bike Build was really positive. This is the second year we have engaged Total Team Building to organise a program for us. Compared to the one done last year, I have noticed that to add a charity activity was really a highlight and everybody was thankful about having the possibility of participating in it. We were 100% satisfied with the facilitation. Darren had a great attitude and charisma. Thank you for a good service and client support.

It Really Brought Out The Competitive Spirit In Everyone
Everyone enjoyed the afternoon and it really brought out the competitive spirit in everyone. I was surprised how quickly it brought the team together.
The guys had a great time and like true sales people they were still arguing over who really won at dinner. The program facilitation was great and Jason really made the day. Thank you!

Great Challenges, Fun Fun Fun!
Everyone absolutely loved the Win it in a Minute! Great challenges, fun fun fun! There was nothing else that was talked about on Monday. The program and co-ordination was hassle free and smooth as a baby’s bottom. Thank you to Total Team Building and Chad for making this event one for the books!

Got To See More Of The Staff’s Creative & Competitive Side Come Out
With this particular group, we haven’t held activities that were more ‘fun’ and less work related. It was a great change and everyone had positive feedback about the Charity Bike Build program. We got to see more of the staff’s creative and competitive side come out.
On initial contact everyone was accommodating and flying your facilitator over from Sydney was really appreciated! Louisa you are lovely to deal with, very clear and not pushy!
The day itself was conducted well, once again – it didn’t feel rushed but the entire 2 hours was used well.
Deryn was very approachable and engaging. He was able to hold everyone’s interest and present with a smile!

We Got To Spend Time With Others We Don’t Normally Associate With
They all reported that the Win it in a Minute was fun and in some cases – “Better than I thought it would be”.
The co-ordination was great, no problems. Always there and responded to emails and phone calls promptly. Nothing was too hard. The facilitators did a great job. It was very hot and they kept up their energy and stamina.
Our MD is thinking of doing it again mid-year as he was impressed. It helped unite all staff whether from production, warehouse, service or office. We got to spend time with others we don’t normally associate with from different branches and put “faces to names”.

Fabulous Job Coordinating, Communication Was Excellent & Very Adaptable
I have received fantastic feedback. Quite a few in the group mentioned it was much better than they expected. A couple said they were dreading it, but ended up having the best day. Have received quite a few emails saying thanks for organizing the day and how great a time they had. Darren was awesome. Katie did a fabulous job coordinating, communication was excellent and very adaptable to customizing the program to suit Brookfield Multiplex. Thank you. Great day had by all.

Great Team Building Event. Everyone Had A Blast!
The teams really enjoyed the activities in the program – there was a great balance of being active, using the brain and being creative.
The co-ordination was great. Plenty of communication prior to the event to ensure the day went smoothly.
I was nervous about the remote facilitation prior to the event, but it turned out to work exceptionally well. The interaction Darren had with teams on the day / during the event was fabulous.
Thank you Katie and Darren for organizing a great team building event. Everyone had a blast!

Entire Team Left The Day Feeling A True Sense Of Achievement & Purpose
Our South32 team was very pleased with the whole Charity Bike Build program. We had a very cultural and age diverse group, however, everyone was able to participate in all activities which was great. Our entire team left the day feeling a true sense of achievement and purpose. Thank you! Darren did a top job as our facilitator. He was charismatic, relaxed and interactive but kept the activity on schedule.

The Right Balance Of Challenge/Competitiveness & Fun
Our Win it in a Minute program was fast paced and upbeat. You could feel the energy in the room. There was the right balance of challenge/competitiveness and fun. The PowerPoint was professional and the music was a nice touch to the atmosphere.
There was timely, clear communication during the booking process and the program was well coordinated and professional on the day.

Well Organized & Offered Variety Of Tasks & Opportunities For Teamwork
I thought the Scavenger Hunt program was well organized and offered variety of tasks and opportunities for teamwork. My team enjoyed the day and I think we all worked well together. The competitive edge added a level of impetus to the day. I was very impressed with the organization of the event with Katie maintaining contact in the lead up and answering any questions I had. The facilitation on the day was fantastic as Darren is an excellent communicator and showed flexibility on the day. His consideration of the older members of the team was appreciated. I and my team members had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Many team members suggested we should do this every six months and I believe that was due in large part to the way in which the event was organized and facilitated. I have learned a lot about myself and some members of my team through this experience and I thank you for your service.

The Coordination Was Seamless
The team thought the Adventure Quest was great fun and a great way to get to know colleagues they didn’t know well before. Everyone was on a complete high when they got to the after party and loved that they could see the pictures and watch the videos so soon after the event finished. The Coordination was seamless. Jason was great! People who participated said he was fun and liked the way he ran the event. Many thanks to Jason for a great day!

The Challenges The Teams Did Were Great & Entertaining…But The Main Event Was Awesome!
The Charity Bike Build was fantastic! The challenges the teams did were great & entertaining…but the main event was awesome! When the bikes were built and our franchisees realized these were for little kids who didn’t get a lot, the mood in the room changed. The facilitation was brilliant! Even with 1 weeks’ notice the event was run perfectly! Chad was awesome on the day – arrived early, responded great with our team, took charge & delivered a great lot of challenges! Well done! We were, still are, extremely happy that we chose Total Team Building and the activity that we did. Hats off to Chad, for facilitating so well!

Allowed Us All To Interact & Communicate Openly With One Another Regardless Of Positions In The Organization
Myself and all of the team participated in the Vault Event which allowed us all to interact and communicate openly with one another regardless of positions in the organization. It also allowed some of the less vocal members of the team to have their say and take part which is something we all gained from. But more than anything it provided us with the means to enjoy ourselves and have a laugh with no inhibitions of it being a work event.
The coordination and organization of the event, location, timing and lunch was all taken care of by Total Team Building as a package thus allowing me only one point of contact which made the day more pleasant and hassle free. Thanks to you both for making the day a great one.

Activities Had Been Designed Specifically For The Zoo

The Team Had Absolutely A Blast & It Was Real Fun
I would like to Thank you and Darren for organising the day, the team had absolutely a blast and it was real fun!! Lawn Bowls was a nice way of communicating and getting to know each other. We thought it was a good team building exercise that provided interaction with all team members. Instructions were clear and Darren who facilitated the event also gave helpful tips and advices on how to play the game. Everyone was able to interact and participate which allowed for a high level of engagement. Well done, good job. Keep it up.

Lots Of Fun & Well Received Across The Teams
Our Adventure Quest was lots of fun and well received across the teams, great to see something that worked for different age groups and abilities. The facilitator was very early so appreciate his patience on the day. I was happy with what we booked and it met expectations on the day. Thanks! It’s great to get a link to all the pics at the end so we can enjoy. Equally great that people don’t know about this at the start so they let loose!

Had Fun Whilst Donating Our Bikes To A Great Cause
Our team really enjoyed the day and all the different challenges leading up to the bike build. I think it was great how all the challenges gave the teams points so it wasn’t just based on the bike build. The event was very well coordinated by total team building, it all ran smoothly with no issues. We thought Darren was fantastic, he explained everything really well and it was easy to understand. He did it all with a smile also. I feel that your company did such a great job. From the moment I started speaking with Katie to try and get the event booked in, to the day of the event. Everything ran smoothly and everyone had fun whilst donating our bikes to a great cause. Well done Total Team Building!! It was really great day, we would definitely use your company again in future.

Engaged Everyone, Was Fun, Provided Learning For Us & Had A Great Compassionate Outcome
The entire team thoroughly enjoyed the day. It engaged everyone, was fun, provided learning for us and had a great compassionate outcome for the children who received the bicycles. Excellent coordination, very easy. Darren was very professional, personable and engaging. A well balanced facilitator who responds well to the needs of the group and the interaction levels of different people. Keep doing what you do well, it really was one of the best sessions of it’s kind I have attended. Well done and thank you on a wonderful (half) day. Our objectives were met and our expectations exceeded. I’ll definitely be spreading the word within the wider JLL team about this event with Total Team Building.

Exceptionally Well Co-ordinated
Thank you for running such a precision Go Race (now called the Amazing Race) exercise. The program was well organised and the tasks were not as easy as they seem. There was a good choice of fun and using problem solving skills. The program was exceptionally well co-ordinated and the facilitators were both friendly and fair. Thank you for a fantastic day.

It was a great event and a great addition to our program.
We really enjoyed the program and the variety of challenges that the young people were able to participate in. It was great to have them come up with team chants before the session began.
The coordination of the event was great. It was easy and smooth and the Total Team Building team was great to work with.
Darren’s facilitation was great. He was able to engage with the young people and keep things interesting for the duration of the event.
Overall I think it was a great event and a great addition to our program
