Our Starlight ‘Sparklers’ session is a popular choice by corporate groups as it is a fun fast paced session with creative activities that promote team collaboration and feel truly meaningful rather than just doing fun things for the sake of it.
“What I enjoyed most was collaborating within a team to create something with impact.”
Ally, QBE
The session’s Positive Psychology theme is particularly relevant to corporate Australia and offers many incredible ahaa moments for participants and learnings that they can apply back into their own world. And to top it off, the charity that the session supports is the highly respected Starlight Children’s Foundation, whose playful brand inspires happiness and joy to the sick kids in the hospital wards that the charity operates.
“Get to know your colleagues better and remember that a stressful workday is minor compared to the bigger challenges others may be facing.”
Vinay, Westcon-Comstor
Providing activities that are more than just fun for the sake of being fun, but are also meaningful is central to what we do and the Starlight ‘Sparklers’ session offers a powerful combination of individual and group activities and reflection that deepens personal relationships and inspires personal growth.
“What I loved most was bonding with colleagues, the thoughtfulness of the activity and giving back And what I least liked? Nothing, thought it was great.”
Anon, Pfizer
A real challenge with conferences is enabling people to connect meaningfully with colleagues they have never met and getting everyone to open up and chat, which is what our sessions and facilitators are really good at. That’s where the topic of Starlight and Positive Psychology truly shines bright.
“I enjoyed the practical nature of the giftbox activity – It was good to put together
something that would help keep an ill child entertained while in hospital.”
David – QBE
The other challenge that conference organisers face is how to keep their large groups engaged, energised and avoid the hazy that is atypical of long, data heavy conferences full of PowerPoint slides and heavy presentations. This couldn’t be less of a problem with Starlight ‘Sparklers’ which will have your people charged and wired from the start, with a highly creative group team challenge and its jewel of the crown which is the ‘Sparkle’ pack (toy hampers) challenge when teams have to go out with a limited budget and purchase toys for a sick kid in hospital. The challenge isn’t just about getting your best bang for your buck, but sticking to budget and judging by the enormous efforts the teams go to, it’s an activity that brings the heart out in everyone as well as enabling people to show off their creative talents when decorating the ‘Sparkle’ packs!
“Enjoyed team building via open communication, stories of kids make you tear up and also realize how lucky you are in life which gives me many reasons to be grateful in life.”
Manju, Westcon-Comstor
As with all our sessions, the real magic happens in the moment and the team discussions foster personal connections and purposeful growth. And the magic doesn’t stop there, as the memories live on well past the end of the session and the stories and shares in the event fuel team camaraderie and unity long after the group returns to work.
That’s Team Building with Purpose.
