Team event with a difference - jumping together from 4000 meters

Team building events are a great way to strengthen cooperation, communication and trust within the team.

Many teams go for dinners and drinks, and this is even great. Sometimes it needs more to take the team bonding to the next level. At our last event, we accomplished that by jumping together from 13123,36 feet.

A skydive is more than just a team event - it's an adventure that sends your team members on an emotional journey that strengthens their relationship with each other and the entire team.

The event got cancelled 2 times - so the excitement increased.

Before the jump, the excitement was palpable and visible - from sweaty palms, to "panicked" laughter, to joking about calling the whole thing off. But it was clear to each and every one of us, we were going through this together.

We were briefed on all the necessary safety measures and then it was off to 4000 meters in a very small plane.

The moment of the jump was a mixture of thrill and excitement. I mean ... you put your life in the hands of others and need to grow trust in people.

Once we reached the bottom we were euphoric and had a feeling of triumph! It's hard to imagine having jumped out of a flying plane just moments before!

A team event like this is certainly not for everyone, but for us it was an unforgettable experience that made us stronger as a team.

What do we want you to take away from this story on your leadership journey?

Create moments, where you experience your boundaries together with your team that strengthen your bond and increase your team spirit. To do this, it's sometimes helpful to do things differently, break the familiar, and try new things.

Which situations beside parajumping can help to build border experiences?

✅Sport activities - you and your team can learn from eachother, reach new goals and connect to their boundaries.

✅Surrender Training - develop basic skills for survival in the wilderness.

✅Escape room - An outdoor escape room offers a unique opportunity to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles in order to escape from a tricky situation together.

What you get when you do something different:

✅ Increase productivity: a team that gets along well and supports each other is usually more effective and productive. Team members work together smoothly and can complete tasks more efficiently.

✅ Motivation: A positive team feeling increases employee motivation. When team members feel comfortable and have a sense of belonging, they are more likely to commit to their tasks and give their best.

✅Flexibility: A team that gets along well is often more flexible and adaptable. It can quickly adapt to new challenges and changes in the work environment.

If we open up to each other, we can fly together. Sorry for being cheezy, but it's true!
