“First impressions count, but when we make assumptions based on first impressions, we can get things surprisingly wrong. Expeditions have taught me to be more open-minded and curious. Outdoor challenges and experiences can provide us all with an opportunity to uncover many undiscovered talents and realise our own potential and that of our teams.”
Getting the level of challenge right for you and your team is critical in developing a motivated and committed workforce. But how do you know if you're aiming high enough?
Tori is not your average trainer. Her adventure-inspired training programmes and masterclasses are unlike any others you have experienced.
Taking the lessons learnt from the extreme conditions she endured during her adventures, Tori creates a unique training experience tailored to each client.
Her training programmes encourage people to challenge themselves, become more self-aware, understand the attributes of high-performing teams and how leadership is essential to the team's success.
Tori believes in bringing learning to life. She uses inspiring natural settings to create a space for reflection and ideas. She incorporates real-life examples of teamwork and leadership challenges in some of the most inhospitable conditions you can imagine.

Adventure-inspired Leadership Programme
(Five days over 6-12 months)
This multi-day programme is designed for teams and leaders from business and education. It comprises facilitated sessions, established tools for personal development, talks and an outdoor adventure. Each programme is tailored to the client's needs following an initial meeting and seeks to:
develop the team's understanding of leadership & individual styles
increase social awareness and understanding of others
enhance the ability to flex behaviour appropriately
establish individual development goals
help develop a more cohesive team
The outdoor adventure helps to bring the structured learning to life. There are several activities to choose from, depending on the skill levels and needs of your team. The challenge is designed to take teams out of their comfort zone, help them support each other, improve decision making and encourage new ways of thinking.
It includes the content used in Mountains, Motivations & Mindsets.
It reinforced the need for clear communication in leadership, and challenged me regarding the need to think about the task, individual and team.

Mountains, Motivations & Mindsets
(Two and a half days - minimum 10 participants)
Getting the best out of your team stems from each member gaining a high level of self-awareness and the belief that skills, talents and behaviours can be developed over time.
Ever wondered why people behave the way they do?
Can you identify your own personal drivers and motivations?
Have you considered that our strengths can actually be overdone?
This programme focuses on interpersonal relationships. Tori uses the Strength Deployment Inventory® (SDI), which is an established tool for improving relationships. It involves the completion of a structured questionnaire followed by facilitated workshops and outdoor experiences to explore the attributes and behaviours of your team.
It provides an insightful look at how our behaviour changes when things are going well, and when there is conflict or opposition. It will create a common language which can be used by team members to improve relationships in the workplace.
This was one of the most interesting sessions I have ever attended. Tori was open, honest, and the fact that she was able to relate the entire course content to her personal experiences meant I absorbed a lot more than I usually would!

High-Performing Teams Masterclass
(Half day for up to 25 people)
Tori's masterclass inspires individuals to dispel limiting beliefs and push the boundaries of what they think they and their teams can achieve. Tori encourages delegates to become more self-aware about their interactions with others and identify areas for personal growth and improvement.
Using examples from her record-breaking challenges, Tori delivers an engaging and interactive session enabling learners to understand the key attributes of high performing teams. She demonstrates that high performing teams aim higher than others, adopting clearly defined roles and communicating with clarity and transparency.
This masterclass explores:
visions and goals
stages of team development
our ability to create a culture of challenge & stretch
what builds trust and what breaks trust
growth mindsets
situational leadership
She facilitates discussions where the delegates draw on their own experiences and share them with the group to stimulate peer-to-peer learning and communication.
Delegates leave her sessions inspired, enthused and motivated to improve their performance and that of the team they lead.
Amazing masterclass. Informative and uplifting.
