We were looking forward to the live "Refresher day for Team coaches" of Adjugo. After several online training days, 16 of us met in real life in picturesque Vucht. Remi-Armand, Karen & Jürgen welcomed us in a beautifully restored monastery where the walls breathe history and art.

The red ball, the common thread ... Connection!
From the start, the common thread of the day turned out to be: throwing a red ball at someoner, followed by a question for the other. As a symbol of connection between people when they find each other in real life.
This group of people never met in this 'constellation' before, but they are immediately able to form a self-organizing team for the day. As a participant you will experience the effectiveness of the working methods and insights from all team coaching training days together: now refreshed again, put into live practice, and deepened on this return day.
We start with an empty program ...
The first assignment for the newly formed team: put together the day’s agenda. In half an hour the job was done: choosing from the possible workshops, introducing yourself to what helps you to coach your teams or what you want to practice or deepen in a safe environment.
The absolute strength of Adjugo is that on top of the TeamGrowing methods they can offer all their knowledge and many years of practical experience in scrum, lean, kanban, agile,... . This allows them to frame issues in a broad context or, where necessary, to zoom in on specific challenges. You feel that you are in the hands of experts!

"We, coaches, are a special species. My insight from the values game exercise is that I'm mainly going to let people explain why they do something, instead of what exactly they do.' – The Game of Values. "
— Dries, Agile & Team Coach
Teams that don't plan to full capacity speed up the most:
"What am I going to do with the remaining balls...? I'm going to invest them; this allows us to follow a training course, further develop our skills, automate our systems.... Next time we will work even faster."
Ines, Communications/ Engagement/ Transformation at TELENET
Team bonding
"The training TeamGrowing gave me a handy toolbox that I use where team bonding is needed, if a team does not yet know each other well. The training had an ideal rhythm, 4 days in total with a few months in between. With this sunny refresher day as the ideal ending. "
— Eefke, HR Professional
Effective decision making for large groups.
"If you want a supported decision for a large group, you have to involve everyone and have them ask questions about the case and have first ideas made. Later, about 3 people work out the proposal by answering the questions asked and being inspired by the many ideas."
— Marie, ADJUGO

Collaboration in a minefield
– This exercise is close to reality: it was against the clock and under pressure to deliver, so we do not always hear the message of the other person or we do not want to dwell on it. We had to pull the plug when someone said she dropped out.
– We came out stronger as a team.
– I found this very confronting.
– It showed for me as an observer the enormous power of a good retro."
