Trainline Leadership Challenge

Building cohesion in a leadership team

Trainline’s senior leadership team had recently restructured and they wanted to build trust, understanding and cohesion. This was essential in order to ensure effective delivery of an ambitious growth plan. They were looking for a 2-day off-site event with a challenge element, which was accessible for all fitness and ability levels.

What did Threshold recommend?

Based in the beautiful Lake District, the team set off on Day 1 with their kayaks and hiking boots. After a challenging day on water and land, it was time for a teamwork activity in the evening. The outdoor campfire then rounded off the day perfectly, as they slept in their mountain hut, looking ahead to what was to come.

Day 2 saw the team take part in a ‘Deep-Dive’, an activity focusing on identifying the dysfunctions in the workplace. After a 2 hour hike, they then took on a Ghyll scramble, traversing up and down rocks, in and out of the Lake District’s pristine streams.
