Abe

High and Low Ropes courses brought a new dimension to team development in the world. Abe has taken the flag from Robbie and is the TBI specialist in providing you with your own Island of Healing™ ropes course and maintenance plan. Every course that Abe constructs is tailor-made to accommodate the environmental setting. His meticulous execution is your guarantee for a safe learning experience.

 

Arie

An integral part of our service is directly linked to the maintenance of our infrastructure. To maintain a training venue that sometimes hosts up to four teams per day, can be very challenging. Maintenance is something you miss if it is not in place, but is seldom appreciated when it is in order. Since Ari joined the team, his presence has immediately been appreciated by his unwavering commitment to excellence.

 

Astrid

Venturing into the unknown world of the Hospitality industry is a breeze…when you have Astrid in your team. This remarkable person soon became our icon as the TBI hostess.

Chris

Chris is the founder and Executive Director of the Team Building Institute.
His doctoral dissertation, which examines the role adventure experiences play in corporate team- building, led to the formation of the Team Building Institute that has earned national and international recognition in the field of adventure-related experiential learning (AEL).
 
Dr. Heunis has received extensive coverage on national radio and television interviews.

The ’Island of Healing™’ ropes courses that the TBI constructs, have ensured that his name is widely recognized in the Human Resources arena.

Idah


Since accommodation was introduced as part of the TBI service offering we desperately needed someone to provide this delicate service. Aida has set a high standard since she has joined the TBI family.

Karla

Without a strong brand, no business can survive. Karla turns our vision into reality. This graphic designer of note knows how to turn a website-browse into an informative experience; providing clients with corporate gifts that quickly becomes a trend. The TBI-newsletter has a readership of more than a thousand hits.

Liesel

Liesel is a qualified industrial engineer and Director of the Team Building Institute. Coming from an engineering environment, she has the ability to understand the unique challenges of clients representing the world of Engineering and Manufacturing. Apart from team building sessions, she also has a keen interest in facilitating strategy sessions.


Mariet


Effective Corporate Governance demands financial expertise. Mariet (Financial Manager) displays an exceptional understanding of the intricacies of business finance and governance in general. Since she joined the TBI team we came to realise that she has more to offer than just balancing our books. We appreciate her warm and friendly personality and commitment to the TBI cause.


Petra


Petra discovered her passion for people and adventure while working at a summer camp in the United States. She successfully completed her studies at UP where she served on various student committees. Her experience with children and students makes her in the ideal candidate to manage TBI’s youth programmes.
 

Robbie

Robbie is the co-founder of the TBI. He is generally regarded as one of the most experienced AEL facilitators in South Africa. Robbie masters the technique to creating learning opportunities in a fun way. He is well-equipped to facilitate at any level of seniority and specializes in turning dysfunctional teams around.
 

Riëtte


The friendly voice on the other side is that of Riette when you call TBI. Organising our diaries and liaison with clients demands focus and commitment. Riette further renders support in the day-day functioning of the TBI office. Her love for the outdoors and commitment to a healthy life style is obvious when you meet her in person.

 

Zachariah

We are proud of our unique setting on the Bronberg ridge overlooking the fast developing Eastern suburbs of Pretoria. Green lawns and well kept gardens is a prerequisite to successful team building. Zachariah’s gardens are his pride and joy.
