The LIDO team participated for the second time in a Trainify team-building event. The day was dynamic, active, and interesting.
The event organizers took care of everything – welcome, parking, breakfast, snacks and drinks throughout the day, lunch and dinner. All at a high level. They even took care of the sun shining all day (in Riga, Latvia, it was raining that day). Perfect!!!
The venue was also suitable – spacious, comfortable, and convenient. The grounds were well-kept with all necessary amenities. For the second year in a row, it felt like home.
As for the program and facilitators – simply wonderful!!!
We were pleasantly surprised by how expertly the tasks and activities were tailored to the LIDO team, matching our requests and needs 100%.
Exactly what we wanted – for everyone to truly feel the necessity of working together as a team.
Only by joining forces, with everyone involved, taking initiative and being active – can results be achieved. At the same time, individual abilities and the opportunity for each person to be themselves were taken into account. A great chance to get to know yourself and your colleagues better, outside the usual “playing field” of everyday life.
Thank you for integrating LIDO's values into tasks and activities throughout the entire day. A genuinely remarkable experience! Truly surprising how naturally and effortlessly, yet precisely and skillfully — CARE, DISCIPLINE, HONESTY, QUALITY — were invoked and applied regularly and abundantly. And, of course, the tree planting: four trees, each symbolizing one of LIDO's values. It has been a week since the event, and every day I hear colleagues talking about it. I understand now, it was something very, very special!!!
I especially want to highlight the “New Colleague” activity — the egg carried throughout the day. It was something we had never seen before. I watched with interest as members of each team cared for and protected it — passionately and emotionally.
We can’t forget to mention the instructors. Kudos to both Jāņi. In my opinion, they were outstanding. They knew how to lead and keep the attention of 50 people effortlessly, engagingly, humorously, and intelligently all day long. Tasks were thoroughly explained, attitudes were honest, and reflections and conclusions were drawn after each task.
And of course, the evening session with Madara and overcoming fears. We wanted to end the day with a collective yet individual experience. Breaking arrows was definitely a success — it was challenging. I’m happy for my colleagues; their pride and satisfaction after breaking the arrows were indescribable.
A big thank you to Trainify and Viktors for the emotions, adventure, and journey throughout the whole day beyond everyday routine.
