Traditional team building doesn’t work!
Companies face many challenges the it comes to corporate team building events. Not least is getting their people to work together for the greater good of all concerned! We believe that traditional team building activities don’t help to create long term change! So what does?
Bonds created and lessons learned as a result of profound experiences are integrated at a far deeper level. In the extreme, tragedy can bring us together, as we overcome adversity together. We are not suggesting anything drastic. What we do creates a bond at a significantly deeper level. When we bond at a deeper level great things happen.
Kick Ash Firewalks Team
How do we create this powerful bond?
We use activities that few people consider using in the corporate team building arena. Activities that require people to really support their colleagues as profound change happens. That’s when they achieve what they thought was impossible! It’s during these times that the entire group dynamic changes with the realisation they are in this together. As everyone works towards a common goal, every individual and the organisation as a whole benefits.
This is how we build unstoppable organisations!
As a consequence everyone becomes aware of that which held them back… limiting beliefs! As we systematically identify and dissolve them, they create empowering new beliefs! This allows us to release their untapped potential.
So why firewalk?
Firewalking is not about walking on fire. Firewalking provides a controlled environment for people to explore their own limiting beliefs and to breakthrough them. In this way, you get the absolute best from each and every member of your team. Many may be doing just enough to get by because it’s comfortable. Maybe because they think it’s all they’re capable of… but they are wrong!
We can tailor your corporate team building event to align with your corporate strategy. We specifically address the challenges unique to your business and the roles of those attending. Holding this type of event sends a clear message. You know what your team are capable of and you will do what it takes to help them get there.
During the event, you will:
⇒ Have the opportunity to identify your challenges.
⇒ Experience the environment for creative thinking
⇒ Be asked not just think outside the box, but to blow the box away
⇒ Be challenged to step outside your comfort zone
⇒ Learn the tools to provide motivation whenever you want it
⇒ Understand how your own thinking affects your experiences.
We are more than happy to bring the event to you, so your team have as little inconvenience as possible. You can relax about the fire too…
When we bring the event to you we also bring our own surface where we create your Kick Ash Firewalk. As you can see in this clip, the ground is fully protected from the fire, so we can build on pretty much any level, stable surface. And when we leave… it’s like we were never there at all!
FAQ’s
How does firewalking benefit a professional corporate team?
Firewalking acts as a high-impact catalyst for both individual resilience and collective team cohesion. For the individual, it shatters the limiting beliefs that hinder personal leadership and decision-making. For the team, it serves as the ultimate metaphor for breaking through corporate silos and shared fears. By successfully navigating the fire together, a team transitions from a state of cautious hesitation to one of unified, ‘all-in’ commitment. This creates a powerful, shared reference point for courage and resilience that leaders can call upon long after the embers have cooled.
Is firewalking a safe activity for a corporate team-building day?
Safety and professionalism are the non-negotiable pillars of every Kick Ash corporate event. As a Certifying Master Firewalk Trainer with years of experience, I provide a level of expertise that ensures the physical and psychological safety of every participant. Every session includes a mandatory preparatory seminar, full risk assessments, and £5m in public liability insurance. We manage every technical detail, allowing your leadership team to focus entirely on the breakthrough experience and the growth of your people.
Do all team members have to firewalk to benefit from the experience?
Not at all. Participation in the firewalk itself is always a personal, conscious choice. The real value of the day lies in the preparatory seminar and the psychological tools we share – focusing on mindset, resilience, and breaking through limiting beliefs. We honour every participant’s journey; whether they cross the fire or make the empowered decision to support their colleagues from the side, the insights gained into fear and potential are equally profound for everyone in the room.
How can a firewalk be integrated into a wider corporate retreat or training day?
Firewalking, along with the other embodied experiential learning opportunities we provide, are versatile, high-impact climaxes to any corporate event. Whether you are running a leadership retreat, a strategic planning day, or a team celebration, these experiences can be tailored to align with your specific goals. We provide a full-service experience – from initial site assessment to a professionally facilitated preparatory seminar – ensuring that the breakthrough experience of the empowerment activities are seamlessly integrated with your day’s objectives and long-term business outcomes.
