    What about leadership and team development? Organisations are bombarded by opportunities all the time, some of them are relevant to our goals and too many can be distractions. We’d love to talk with you about your goals for your team, and the outcomes we have been consistently delivering for high performing teams over the last 30+ years. We work with teams across all industries and disciplines to develop your teams and individual’s potential through a series of well-designed experiential actions that will highlight individual and team culture and behaviour.

    Our corporate team building development programs provide opportunities for personal challenge, exploration of risk taking (with a focus on subjective versus objective risk assessment), trust, goal setting, benchmarking and increased team morale and camaraderie.

    We involve team members in the management of their activities by handing over a level of responsibility for personal and general safety, whilst maintaining checks and management of the activity’s outcomes. This is done under close scrutiny by our facilitating staff, and serves to increase the participants’ focus and awareness, encouraging individuals to take greater ownership of personal and team safety in a dynamic and challenging environment.

    The level of active participation is self-determined. We specialise in “Challenge by Choice” activities; requiring individuals to challenge their own personal comfort zone in a supportive and encouraging environment, to trust and be trusted by selecting a role for themselves that can and will support the team’s objectives. Individuals team members taking ownership.

    Adventure Out continues to hold true to the values of ‘what’ is the outdoors, and how interacting with the outdoors can be a meaningful exchange of merit and inspiration between the participant and the environment. At Adventure Out we reach for knowledge and experience that is beyond the urban environment, reaching to connect with nature in challenging and enjoyable ways. We explore the frontier of that unknown; enabling our customers to explore and broaden the comfort zone frontiers that is both within, and the environmental edge that is the outer most reach of one’s physical and emotional limits.

    We are purest, and proudly so. What tests you? What makes you whole? It’s something to do with conspicuous moderation – strip the metropolitan world back, internally and externally, and tap into that purity. The frontier of discovery. At Adventure Out you are the frontier. Rediscover your purpose, acknowledge your capability, expand your limits! Wow, beautiful.

    Why is development training a beneficial investment?

    1. IMPROVE RETENTION: The Retention Report from the Work Institute tells us that companies can and must become better employers to retain and engage their employees, that more than 3 in 4 employees who quit could have been retained by their employers; 75% of employee turnover is preventable. Replacing an employee costs 33% of that employee’s annual salary. Employee development programs are one of the most consistent ways employers can improve retention, upwards of 25% of employees leave for personal and career development reasons. Satisfied employees who feel appreciated are more likely to stay with the company.
    2. CREATE & HARNESS A POSITIVE CULTURE: If a company wants its customer to trust it, to be perceived as ‘great’, loyal, the industry leader. Then the company needs to BE all of these things; trusting, great, loyal, the industry leader. This begins and end with the employees. Employees increasingly value company culture when deciding where to work, and customers frequently make buying decisions based on the culture of the brand. Investing in your human capital and providing professional development opportunities can help create that purpose-driven culture.
    3. REDUCE YOUR OPERATING COSTS: Happy employees are productive employees. They take fewer sick days, they are retained and progress with the same company, they produce at a more effective pace and level. Investing in team building development training requires an upfront investment, however we believe and have seen through our customers successes that it will improve your bottom line in the long run.
    4. ATTRACT THE BEST TALENT: In any industry, great leaders and great companies attract top talent. Team development training can help harbour, build and retain the best talent internally, additionally, when you do have a need to hire externally, your leaders and their teams will know how to spot, attract and retain the best person for the job.
    5. SURPRISE & DELIGHT: Not everyone who takes part in your team building development program will grow, behave or react the way you anticipate they will – and that’s OK. Everyone in your team who participates will still learn valuable skills that are essential to running an agile, performing, response-ready business.
    Have your ever ordered a smoothie or a frappe and as you watch the café staff make your order you can see that they’ve made more than will fit in your cup? How did it make you feel when they gave you that extra bit in the blender? Excellent! You got more than you expected, and it had a direct and lasting effect on how you experienced a simple exchange. Sometimes when everything is predictable, we can become complacent. Give your team that extra bit of smoothie.

    Outdoor Education Australia advocates that every child has a right to access quality Outdoor Education as part of a balanced curriculum from pre-school to Year 12. Outdoor education provides opportunities to develop positive relationships with the environment, others and ourselves through interaction with the natural world.

    Outdoor education engages students in practical and active learning experiences in natural environments, situations and settings beyond the school classroom. In these conditions, students develop the skills and understandings to move safely and competently while valuing a positive relationship with natural environments and promoting the sustainable use of these environments. The students develop lifelong skills of observation, respect for nature, and understanding of their own competencies with an insight to one’s own resilience.

    Outdoor education is uniquely placed to address the general capabilities and cross curriculum priorities of the Australian Curriculum; personal and social capability, critical and creative thinking, ethical understanding and moral behaviours, Aboriginal perspectives of land and country, and environmental sustainability.

    At Adventure Out we’re dedicated to preserving and protecting our invaluable natural environment through experiential learning. Understanding the world around us, recognizing its beauty and minimizing our impact within it, are the necessary steps toward a healthy planet and sustainable society.
