Client Quotes

	In my opinion one of the key strengths in City Challenge was the skills and experience of your professional facilitators. Particularly how they were able to adapt to the group and give feedback that was both relevant and appropriate 'in the moment'. I was concerned about the number skeptics we had in our group at the beginning of the event but by the close they had definitely been converted and were overhead to comment on the value and benefit it had bought to everyone and the team overall.
	We had a good time, we enjoyed the long task i.e. the same task throughout the day and especially the de-brief at the end. It allowed us to think issues through and review out behaviours and actions. It worked well at a team and individual level. In the afternoon we really started working well as a team. We all commented on how great it was having the opportunity for 1:1 with the facilitators as we were going through the day.
	Our brief was to have a fun day out - which we certainly achieved with the help of City Challenge. It gave us the perfect opportunity to experience a city in an interesting and challenging new way whilst getting to know our work colleagues and, at the same time, working as part of a team. The day was extremely well organised and was thoroughly enjoyable. I would highly recommend it!!
	"Dear Jane and Lucy Many thanks for an excellent event on Friday in Birmingham. I thought it was an involving and original take on teambuilding and I'm sure that my staff appreciated your hard work and excellent guidance as well. I hope that we can now take forward the individual commitments that we made, as well as the general sense of good will and a desire to improve that was a vital part of the programme's success. It was great to see the team get so involved in something that they had expressed reservations about and I think this is a reflection of the skill and enthusiasm that you demonstrated on Friday. Once again, thank you for an invigorating day, I hope that I get the chance to work with you again. Kind regards Gregg Bramwell NHS South Birmingham PCT "
