Learning to perform under pressure

In the marl caves of Limburg

On a sunny Friday, ten Count & Cooper colleagues dived into the darkness. Lit only by dim candlelight, they followed the training ‘Performing under pressure’ in the Limburg marl caves. The group had to free injured miner Tinus — a dummy weighing over a hundred kilos.

Along the way the team had to overcome cryptic puzzles and physical challenges. The most exciting part was when even the candles went out.

The goal was to experience cooperation under pressure and then reflect on it. Where the caves were once used to extract building blocks, they now extracted building blocks for better collaboration.
