Leadership training and team-building events

We have run client-customised team-building events for international clients including Salomon, Suunto, Hartwall, the RGS-IBG and the BBC. Such events show in practice how maximising team efficiency leads to success, while outdoor teamwork reminds people what really matters and promotes balance, rest, observation, patience, adaptability and perseverance in a workforce.

The format is always customised, but generally combines a classroom and an outdoor element geared to participants' fitness and expertise - from team challenges or adrenalin-filled fun to guided wilderness adventures. We have also delivered more traditional classroom leadership training to General Electric and Shell. Fees are by negotiation, depending on the nature of the event, size of the company and distance of travel involved.

Promotional campaigns and product testing

We have designed and executed large promotional events and campaigns with linked televised footage for Hartwall (multi-year campaigns promoting Lapin Kulta through televised adventure racing and reality-TV-style heli-skiing training camps), Nike-ACG (a two-week long heli-skiing event with their key European customers), and Visit Finland (the 100 Days of Polar-Night Magic campaign).

We have run a number of product-testing events and outdoor-based skill-development camps for companies including GE, Snow-and-Rock, Nike-ACG, Tisos and Cotswold Outdoors. We ran Cotswold Outdoors' premier skills and product-training event for their staff in Arctic Norway for a number of years.

Animal-centred tourism and motivational talks

For the past 10 years, Anna and Pasi have spoken - first in small groups, then in larger settings and at conferences - on 21st-century ethics and sustainable practices in animal-centred tourism. Topics include sled-dog welfare and business ethics, how to stop well-meaning but misinformed animal-rights activists doing more harm than good, sustainable practices in sled-dog tourism, and non-confrontational approaches to land-use cooperation in Lapland.

A variety of motivational talks are offered, on different themes and in different languages, including 'South Pole the Long Way, One Day at a Time', 'No Fear, No Limits, Boundless Horizons', 'From the Arctic to the Antarctic', 'A Winning Team Has One Heart', 'Developing World-Class Performance in Teams', 'The Power of Co-operation' and '10 Lessons from the Road'.
