THE Pembrokeshire-based management training organisation, The Development Company, has recently taken to the sea and is offering leadership and team building courses with a difference.

The Tallships Challenge is a unique adventure that draws together individuals to work as key members of a team. The challenge and exhilaration of sailing, plus the feeling of responsibility, participation and interdependence, makes this a rewarding and valuable experience.

The essence of the adventure is very much hands-on. However, besides the very real and necessary tasks required of participating crew members, other challenges are set to ensure that this out of the ordinary experience allows individuals to discover their true potential.

The course can cover anything from two days upwards, depending upon requirements. Working alongside professional crew and management consultants, The Development Company ensures that the activities on board the tall ship correspond with their clients needs.

This year has been a very successful one for The Development Company. Besides the recent addition of Tallships Challenges, training has extended into the USA and they are set to embark upon delivering personal development programmes in Singapore later this month.

Details of the course can be obtained from Mike Hopkins on 01437 721879.
