Excel Events lets teams excel!

Excel Events is a professional team building agency.
Our programs are based on experiential learning in a safe environment.
Workshops can be held anywhere and are accessible to anyone.

Our mission and vision

Teams are the beating heart of a strong and healthy organization. The success of a team is primarily determined by the quality of its relationships. With and attention and reflection, teams develop positive energy, synergy and will Excel: perform better with more working pleasure!

At Excel Events, we strive to provide valuable experiences for all participants. Especially a moment in which the participants will shine. To excel. To do something they have never done before with each other. And to get to know themselves and others better.

Outdoor Living

The Excel Events team has a passion for the outdoors. Whether this is in the woods or by the water. We like to go outside as much as possible with the participants. This provides fresh air and a clear mind. In addition, the weather elements are a dynamic stimulus that gives the participants extra stimulation. In the winter, of course, we seek shelter and indoor spaces more often. Or we light the campfire!

Fun for everyone is also our top priority. All team building programs can be tailored to the target group and the objectives of the day. For example, we can work on trust and connection, leadership and behavior, management skills and/or communication.

At Excel Events, we further distinguish ourselves with quality by professional and enthusiastic facilitators.

We see every moment and every group as unique. So serious team building, with action and fun. For teams who want to get the best out of themselves!

We can take care of the complete organization for a fun and educational team building. We do this in cooperation with like-minded partners at the coolest locations. Or just at your workplace. It can be done anytime and anywhere!

Interaction

Are you task-oriented or more people-oriented?

Personal style

Quiet or quick in the workshop?

Behavior

Working with yourself or with the other?

Models and methods - drives and behavior

Insights into behavior and/or motivations play the common thread in our team building workshops. We regularly use the DISC model, Lencioni’s theory and the Appreciative Inquiry philosophy and change method.

Outdoor teambuilding
With outdoor teambuilding activities you can give a boost to your team dynamics! Delicious in the healthy outdoor air you will work on challenging assignments. In nature, the behavior of the participants is central. Especially human nature is exposed. This allows us to work on trust, connection, leadership and synergy. The natural setting invites participants to think differently about their actions, acting and organizing as a team. They learn to appreciate each other’s qualities in a new way while facing physical and mental challenges.

Among other things, we train

How Excel Events started

Excel Events was founded in 2017 by Jouke van Dijk. We are experienced in the field of active and adventurous corporate events in the 20 years before. We found a space between a fun event and a serious training and we started combining the best elements.

Thus, we developed a specific Outdoor Method with experiential learning. For training teams through the use of targeted, short-cycle, physically not-too-heavy, simple but powerful assignments where the participants play a central role. Working forms that could be used in many locations.

This distinguishes our trainings from survival-type activities (no Camp van Koningsbrugge with us 😉 ) but also from the ordinary company outing.

Excel Events basics of experiential learning

Experiential learning is a special approach and not without risks! We understand that craft. We have summarized the foundations for this approach in the following fundamental principles:

  • Activities are in the service of connecting and learning.
  • The activities encourage getting moving literally and figuratively.
  • Participants can explore, experiment and demonstrate behaviors.
  • Everything you perceive and what you do is real, there are no games being played.
  • Activities are low-threshold (anyone can participate).
  • Action and reflection alternate purposefully.
  • Translation to practice is essential.
  • Thinking, doing and feeling are connected.
  • A theory or model is supportive of the experience.
  • Guidance is always provided by an expert facilitator.
