Team Journeys

We need a high energy program which makes each member truly belong to the team”. This was the brief we gave to FocusU team. We were glad we decided to go with them because all the activities that the team did were high on energy with a specific focus in mind. At the end, we came out as a better team, knew so much about each other. There was lot of trust, bonhomie and 'can do' attitude at the end.

We have done similar exercises in past so I can honestly tell you that our experience with FocusU has been among the best. The team were very accommodating during discussions. Our requested changes were honored with minimum discomfort. The activities were engaging and crisp; and the entire team was super pumped after each one. The trainers did a fabulous job of keeping the group together.

When employees arrived an hour late, for our year-end session, energy and spirit was extremely low. I was very worried about everyone having a good time whilst also achieving the objectives of communication, trust and teamwork. However, all my concerns were put to rest with the high level of energizers conducted by Focus facilitator, which got everyone moving and interacting.

Thank you for the fabulous activity your team conducted. It was extremely engaging. It also brought out relevant de-briefs we were looking for around change. Participants enjoyed themselves a lot. FocusU team was extremely professional in ensuring the set-up etc. was well in place before we kicked of. This is even more commendable given this was a last minute thing.

It’s been over a week since the team has returned from the offsite, but they just can’t seem to stop raving about it! Thanks to the activities arranged by FocusU and the amazing execution of the program, this offsite has been hailed as the best offsite they have ever attended within the company and outside of it as well!

FocusU has been a truly wonderful partner to work with and our experience in collaborating with this fabulous team has been consistently brilliant! The pandemic forced us to convert our planned engagement from a F2F format to a virtual one connecting almost 300 colleagues. FocusU embraced this as a challenge. Their effort to develop the MusoMagic challenge as a virtual program, is praiseworthy!

All our employees really enjoyed the team building session. It was very engaging and entertaining. Very well organized, and explained. The facilitators were fantastic, displaying a perfect personality for such events. Everything was perfect.

We had a virtual team event with approx 80 members for 90 mins. Every member was kept engaged with the initial ice-breaker games followed by the actual game. All our team members enjoyed it a lot and were thrilled while solving the hunt. I strongly recommend FocusU team for such virtual company team events. Our senior members in the team were also very positive about the overall event.

LEADING FOR SUCCESS" – One other brilliant session. Thanks a ton to CGI for creating a platform to explore. I thoroughly enjoyed the two day session! And I would like to share my experience with all of you who are keen

FocusU was able to successfully generate high levels of enthusiasm & energy during the training program on Innovative Thinking & Collaboration. This demonstrates their professional approach, ability to correlate industry best practices and expertize in experiential learning programs. The participants could relate the learnings to their functions and take away practically executable action plans.

The intervention that FocusU designed was brilliantly relevant for our management offsite. It was flawlessly executed. The exercises got us to smile, laugh, put our thinking caps on, connect but above all reflect constructively about some of our key issues. The facilitators kept the energy and encouragement going but knew where to step back and allow the conversations to move forward unaided.

We were all super impressed by the team, they were very well prepared and absolutely took charge of everything they did. What a fun bunch, I'm glad we partnered on this and can safely say it all went very well. Huge THANK YOU to you and the team on the ground!

I am writing this as an extremely satisfied and delighted customer. Ours is a very young team. Many of our team members joined us directly from campus over the last five years. We also have a multi-disciplinary engineering team. Our challenge was to get the entire team working together as one, demonstrating a high degree of ownership. For this, we needed a program that was highly engaging and fun.

The item that took this class from a social learning experience to tangible training was the quantitative tools that were presented. These will allow me to focus my decisions in a manner that is justifiable and defensible. Any decision maker that might be called on the carpet needs this training to defend themselves and their decisions in a quantifiable manner.

This was not just another FocusU workshop. To elaborate, it was right on the brief and very high on engaging all members of the team! The team has come back extremely motivated and charged up which was the desired outcome of the workshop. Various activities which were well thought through and executed helped everyone open up and ensured active participation from everyone.

Five reasons as to why I would engage with FocusU again: 1. Ability to understand the customer and empathize with them. 2. Willing to walk the pathway with the customer and hence the flexibility comes in as a huge relief in a world of stereotype, fixated trainers. 3. They are passionate and it is contagious! 4. Willing to correct course, when required 5. Very professional approach.

FocusU’s planning, commitment and execution of activities were remarkable, you people have energized our team beyond our expectation.

It is fantastic working with people who clearly understand what one looks for and gives it the shape that leaves him/her delighted. I highly recommend them, most definitely.

FocusU has always made learning interesting. Topics are converted into activities and the learning from the activities are then discussed - which makes us relate to it in real time. The best part is there is no PPT and the team is always takes inputs for discussion. A facilitator is definitely more knowledgeable than the people who attend the training. The key is how you hold your intelligence within yourself and get down to the level of attendees.

With most of us working from home right now, the APL games have brought us back together each month in a social way. The games are well thought out, challenging, but most of all, fun. I always look forward to each session.

The Avery Premier League has been such a great experience to be a part of. It's been such a fun and comprehensive adventure, and given the current climate, it's been a great way to engage with others around the world! The games have been so well thought out and provided a space for entertainment and engagement for those of us involved. Overall it's been a fantastic experience!

Thank you so much to you and your team for a wonderful APL 1.0 journey. All the activities (both live events and Gametize) were designed and managed perfectly. We look forward to a similar partnership with your team for APL 2.0.

This workshop was by far the most effective team building intervention we had at Make My Trip. Team FocusU truly knows how to make learning delightful and extremely engaging!

The MBTI® workshop conducted by FocusU, was an excellent experience for our leadership team; the complete session was a learning platform for everyone and the list of activities extended the perfect opportunity to introspect on self and make way for more team building. Thanks to the FocusU team for creating a wonderful experience and we wish them great success.

I had an amazing experience for all four days and am sure it was same experience of my colleagues who attended the session. The concepts of bringing new ideas on to the table, igniting critical thinking, understanding the team in a better way through activities and taking the whole group along the course was amazing. Overall it was a fabulous and well-structured, object oriented training.

The messages of continuous learning and co-creation were brought out beautifully through the experiential activity, during our workshop with our Top distributors.

It has been a pleasure and fun to collaborate with Team FocusU which has always resulted in a WOW experience for my business team across levels!

The team from Focus has been outstanding in delivering a fun-filled learning experience for all. The activities carried out by your team, especially, the Pixel challenge has been widely appreciated. The enthusiasm and vigour with which the team participated in the activities is itself an indication of the success.

Thank you for a memorable team-building program for our management and senior leadership team. We have the arduous yet immensely enjoyable challenge, of consistently out-performing the industry in India; while ensuring organisation and culture building. The activities helped understand change management and went a long way in building a team that works closely together.

While the Pixel Challenge helped us bring the team together for the reinforcement of our new corporate Values, the Celluloid challenge forced our young management trainees to put on their creative hats to demonstrate how these values affect their work. Activities like 'Geo Caching challenge' are a great medium to get diverse teams working together.

Thanks FocusU for an engaging and fun session. I never imagined we can do a mini team building in a virtual environment.

A very BIG THANK YOU for bringing back smiles on the faces of my ICO colleagues. Everyone just loved the energy and the bonding that happened in the process, something that is so difficult to achieve virtually. The team thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the activity… Please communicate a BIG BIG THANK YOU to the entire FocusU team. You guys rocked it!!!Thanks again.

It's always a difficult task to energetically engage the senior leadership team in team building activities. As most of them have been to many such workshops in past and the first feeling is “Oh! Not again”. My compliments to Focus team on creating such fresh approach and innovative activities. This completely gives a new possibility to Executive Engagement and team building workshops.

I just wanted to thank the FocusU team for designing the team building event and executing it so well. The activities were well-planned and executed very well for the time slot we had in hand. The event resulted in high energy among team members and created good team spirit at the end. We look forward to associate with your team again in future!

To truly engage about 250+ people to crowdsource the lyrics, get them to sing, dance & record; and all that virtually wasn’t easy!! But we did it!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the two day MBTI® session! The overall objective was to get insights on introspection - to enable us to handle our team, work culture and environment, according to the situation. It's like reading yourself through the mirror! If applied on a daily basis, we are able to build trust and confidence, to communicate, discover opportunities, and handle constructive conflicts.

Thank you for the super energetic session today. You really made us feel that we were all in the moment and being virtual didn’t matter! Thanks for truly delivering a fantastic experience and thank you FocusU for suggesting Beatbox Acapella as I know we had multiple discussions on this!

We need a high energy program which makes each member truly belong to the team”. This was the brief we gave to FocusU team. We were glad we decided to go with them because all the activities that the team did were high on energy with a specific focus in mind. At the end, we came out as a better team, knew so much about each other. There was lot of trust, bonhomie and 'can do' attitude at the end.

The Laughter Yoga session was wonderful. It was intriguing and exciting. The agenda was to make everyone feel at ease and completely keen to get involved and lose their inhibitions. Iit was the highlight of our mental health awareness programme. Something so different, fun and beneficial to staff stress levels and overall health. Such a joy to have the trainer’s amazing energies with us!

AMAZING! Loved it. I smiled for 2 hours straight and it was exactly what I needed. I wouldn't have changed a thing, It was nice to escape from my day to day work and have fun with my colleagues. To be honest, I'm normally anxious about taking part in team building events but this was so relaxed with lots of fun at the same time. THANK YOU!! If only it lasted longer 🙂

Thank you for the wonderful virtual engagement session. Your team was absolutely great in executing this flawlessly. The entire client team/audience was very happy with the overall session and asked us to pass on this amazing feedback to the team FocusU. Let's drive many such programs in the near future.

It was magical, the response from the entire team was that this was the best thing that has happened since the lock-down. This is the best fun virtual team building activity we have ever done. Thank you FocusU team for the hardwork, behind the scenes and on stage, you totally rocked it. We are looking forward for another thrilling activity with FocusU team.

As the name says F-Fantastic, O-Outstanding, C-Confident, U-Useful, S-Safety - I have been working with this team for the past 4 years and trust me they have surpassed the quality & way team building activities are conducted. They get into the minutest details. They plan well in advance and manage the entire event with ease. You really don't have to ask anything what's going to happen next.

Our brief to FocusU was that with the large number of changes in the Regional Leadership Team, we need to get to know each other and build trust. Being a cross-functional team with diverse people – in age, backgrounds, experiences and geographically-dispersed – this was crucial. They understood this and customized a workshop which was fun and met all our objectives.

FocusU conducted an excellent training program - the team was full of energy and enthusiasm. The sessions were led with tremendous gusto ensuring participation of each member. The messages were driven home through a very intuitive process of games in practice followed by theory sessions. The process of taking immediate feedback and discussion resulted in participative and experiential learning.

The activities were truly fun. Particularly enjoyed the quirky challenges which made us get over our inhibitions like performances before colleagues or letting the fun side of our personalities show through photos we'd prefer to keep to ourselves. The time constraint and need for coordination amongst team members really fuelled our creativity both as individuals and as a team.

The FocusU Team facilitated 2 four day management cum fun, pan company offsites. They were absolutely fabulous! They are very thorough and professional, have a great can-do attitude and gelled very well with all levels of people in our organization. They have a great company DNA and its been a pleasure working with them. Focus, we are looking forward to engaging you again. Wish you all the best.

I commend the work put in by your team. We had originally planned to try a technology-based team challenge but eventually went with their recommendation of the Dominos Challenge. We had so much fun, while experiencing learnings from each other and the activity itself. The way the insights were tied in together was truly splendid. A great team building session with so many moments of wow!

We chose FocusU for a day of fun-filled learning for our coaches and facilitators. The Focus team listened in carefully to understand the nuances and execute to perfection. The final experience was delightful – full of laughter and bonding. The Geocoaching activity was a memorable and powerful tool. The facilitation was exemplary.

We were initially apprehensive on how the team building event would play out, as we had not worked with FocusU earlier. However, FocusU exceeded our expectations; they did a wonderful job in bringing together a diverse group of people. At the end, there were only smiles and laughter. A special mention for “Pixel Challenge” – the painting that we created as a team, is something we proud of!

I would like to congratulate and thank you for helping PVMI with such an engaging and fun session for the summer interns as part of their Induction.

Thank you for conducting such a great activity for our team. The activity (random act of kindness) was fun, motivating and engaging. It made us realise how we can contribute in the smallest of ways and bring a smile to others. It truly did lift up spirits of our team. A great digital activity and very well-managed by your team.

Focus U has provided us excellent team building programs which are tailored to the needs of our organisation. They have succeeded in creating learning experiences which are specific and relevant to the particular needs of our organisation. Their facilitators allow attendees to interact, while learning skills and knowledge which can be applied to their individual roles.

First of all, thanks to FocusU team for all support and conducting memorable offsite. This is was the best offsite we ever conducted in last 4 years. Employees were really happy and sent appreciation to us. This is was not possible without FocusU team. Few of the employees have already recommended name of your company to their connects in industry which I think gives a feedback about your team.

Mind over matter Challenge was meticulously organized. It was very engaging and refreshing for all the participants. We received a series of positive feedback as to how these challenges have been impactful and energizing to kick start the day. Each Challenge was well thought out. There was a mix of fun challenges as well as fitness and a few of them made us all nostalgic.

Thank you for the immense support we received for executing this virtual event. We received support from your team at every point, from managing the breakouts to engaging the audience during the DJ session. The team was quick with responses and made sure at every step the communication was clear. We would like to thank each and every one of you for helping us executing this without any hitch.

Indeed, it was worth every bit of it! We saw what we got and we got what we saw. You guys rock! Your mojo factor is your raw untamed and very fresh spunk & spirit! That's the one among other positives that makes the whole deal worth a cherish able account. FocusU team makes this literally a smooth sail through complex concepts...a natural at that!

Overall, I would give a rating of 9/10 and would also recommend FocusU. Some qualitative feedback received from others: - The program was very nice - Didn’t know how the 2 hours went by - It took our mind off work – created an #escapemoment that all of us need - The FocusU team was very enterprising, with high passion and energy levels Look forward to more such sessions in the future

Learning by doing” is the most efficient tool to improve the process and give opportunity to think out of box!!!!!!

On behalf of Airtel, I would like to extend you a heartfelt THANK YOU!

As a People’s company, everyone knows and understands the concept of Growth Mindset & Accountability, however the kind of activities and experiential learning programmed by FocusU added an element of excitement and gave us enough room to think and play around it. Great effort was put into make the overall session very logical coupled with the de-briefs after summing up each activity.

Thank you for giving us a unique opportunity to get to know each other and experience our team in a different set up and circumstances. Sometimes we forget just to hold on for a minute and see behind a colleague, a human being with emotions, sorrows, crazy hobbies and undiscovered talents. Thank you for giving us a three-days-break and perfect conditions to grow together as a team.

Thanks to the FocusU team for conducting a highly engaging, action-packed workshop. The workshop design was innovative; the activities were creatively planned and meticulously executed. Some of the competencies like strategic thinking, innovation, drive for results & team synergy were effectively elicited through play.

It was a fabulous experience and the entire session was conceptualized with deep thought and executed with fine precision. The catalogue of activities planned out for us extended the perfect opportunity to introspect on self and make way for more team building. Professionalism and great dedication are the hallmarks of the team from FocusU, and I wish them all the very best.

An amazing overall experience, which was like peeling layers of leadership psychology to discover self and understand others in the team. FocusU led us to a journey of unearthing the mindsets through challenging tasks and a right amount of debriefing. The session has resulted in increased collaboration amongst team members and driving the organizational mission with renewed passion.

Using people engagement, leadership & team effectiveness to fuel business turnaround and results upped my faith in the power of the ‘more human approach’ that I believe in. The web of deep connections that we established, grew over time, and we saw what a group of united, committed and intelligent individuals can achieve as ‘One Team’. The FocusU team were true catalysts in this journey.

What started as a search for a training vendor on Google has come a long way with several identified FocusU interventions over the years. In each intervention, we have achieved our stated objectives of Learning & Development - like Team building, Collaboration, Decision making in uncertainty, Drive for results, Shared vision etc. among a very diverse group of people.

FocusU has always delivered to the objective set out with perfection. They always bring new ideas and exercises to help deliver the message and achieve the objective. Lego Serious Play is an extremely powerful tool which we have used for team visioning sessions. The entire exercise is engaging and helps bring out various aspects of discussion on the table in a non-threatening way.

When I first saw your huge clientele that included companies like Adobe, Deustche Bank and E&Y, I wondered - do large companies keep coming back since you're the best at what you do, or have you turned out to be the best at what you do because large companies keep coming back? That list will grow bigger as FocusU has certainly exceeded all expectation at our recent team building event.

The concepts discussed in the workshop helped our participants to collaborate better with their cross-functional team members. Your openness & promptness in working on feedback shared with you is commendable. The change made in getting the participants to come up with their own case study and getting them to use it during the workshop has been a wonderful value addition.

A fantastic experience. The way, it went was amazing and I was able to correlate many things on what I am doing right and also I was able to re-align on what I should be doing to stay in line with 'reality' :). In fact, I have already suggested to many others to make this training as a “must attend” training irrespective of their title group. Whether it was the trainer or the content I am not really sure. But I would say, I thoroughly enjoyed it and liked it - without any second thoughts! Great job done by the FocusU Facilitators – I would be eager to attend few more sessions if done by them on similar or other interesting training topics.

The Leadership workshop helped all of us to take a step back and analyse ourselves on the kind of leadership traits we have and that we don’t have. How we could all become better leaders and help others grow along with us.

FocusU was a simple Google search for me. Having said that, there were other training firms whose details also showed up. But right from the time that I established my first contact with them, there has not been an instance where I had to follow up with their team. Extremely proactive, understand their clients needs and the best part - they customize the training requirements really well!

Thank you for an excellent senior management intervention (AGM – AVP level) using the Leadership Challenge construct. The program aimed to develop leaders embodying our brand. The intervention included conducting a diagnostic and designing the workshop to suit the need of the target audience, which FocusU did impeccably.

The last gathering of From Spark to Sparkling Reality – was a soul stirring experience for the participants. You truly uplifted the spirit of participants, and they were very energetic, enthusiastic and positively charged with a new perspective while leaving the venue.

Thank you FocusU and Smollan L&D team for designing such a wonderful continuous learning program. It acted like small and effective doses to look for what next. Case studies chosen were all relevant for my Global Development Team & I could not ask for more. Let’s plan for some monthly 1 hour on premise confluence sessions.

FocusU facilitated a 2 day 'Stepping into Coaching ' workshop for a group of senior leaders from CGI. Their session was engaging and gave us insights on improving the effectiveness of our leadership. They ensured that the program was interactive enabling easy flow of thoughts and perspectives through out the program. I would recommend this program to anybody looking at growing as a coach leader.

The whole process of pre-planning, material delivery, organizing instructions, venue visit etc, was done seamlessly. As observers,it was amazing to see the energy rising with each activity and continued so till closure. The event was very will timed, the debriefs were very specific and applicable to work life, the execution team was very professional, yet engaged with our employees very well.

Thank you for the teambuilding and leadership sessions. We commend your ability and skills in understanding our needs and facilitating learning through fun and experiential activities. The exercises gave us with an opportunity to reflect and assess our performance; and to think about our strengths and weakness in working as an individual and most importantly, as team members towards a common goal.

I appreciate that the “Leading for Success” training program was more experiential than theory. The best part is, we were all asked to perform multiple activities and concepts were explained by observing us during the course of the activity. So there was no boring class room kind of lecture and the learning was from your own action. My special thanks to FocusU for an interactive session.

I appreciate the time management, level of expertise & knowledge of FocusU's facilitators. Most importantly, which I found was definitely your differentiator - the course design and debriefing. All the identified training needs were met. All three trainers were very professional; the use of technology was also very good. In a batch of 96, they kept everyone together and focused as well.

My overall experience as a learning consultant was definitely perfect and I would surely recommend FocusU within my network. Content for the two series of workshops on Leadership challenge was apt for our new managers and added a lot of value.

It forced me to learn and grow in spite of dealing with my busy schedule of juggling between work and a new-born back at home. You helped me understand new concepts in merely 15-30 mins ; and challenged me to think through different issues I should deal with. I should get them sorted mentally in my mind first than in real life. Thank you for helping me grow my knowledge.

I have never received such overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants for any other program! Even the typical critics came proactively to thank me. But the real credit goes to FocusU of course. Unlike typical training filled with slides, theories and handouts, FocusU brings in a different way of learning while enjoying participation. The know how to make learning more effective.

Working with FocusU allows us to leave our worries to you and your team; with the confidence that you will make it happen! Each time we have partnered with you, it has been a brilliant experience. Each time our ask has been different and you and the team have delivered and exceeded expectations! It’s wonderful to have a learning partner that get your vision and helps translate it brilliantly!

It’s not about the content or activities. Those can be replicated by others. It’s what the FocusU team does with them which makes the experience so special.

The team had a great experience at the engagement session! Would say this is easily one of the best sessions I would have attended in a long time – the mix of fun and messaging was perfect and can easily notice the change in attitudes on the floor. Well done, pls. convey my kudos to the rest of the team as well.

Just wanted to let you know that we had a great experience with FocusU. All the activities were well designed and implemented. The team was brilliant.

The dance session was really awesome. We learned some great and interesting dance steps with expressions. The best part is that we all were dancing virtually but still we were able to match our steps with the music. It was really engaging and we all had so much fun. Thank you so much.

The Learning challenge was very informative and challenging. The thing which I love about this challenge is that it provides videos also that make it easy to understand the concept.

Without a shadow of a doubt, it was one of the finest team building event, I have experienced & same was the reaction from the participants too. Our facilitators were impressed & had high feedback for your team. Thanks to the entire team for giving us such a memorable experience .
