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 was given the task of freeing the injured miner Tinus from the former quarry. Tinus was not exactly in cooperative mode. He was a doll weighing over a hundred kilos.
CHALLENGE
Along the way, the team had to overcome various obstacles, from cryptic puzzles to physical challenges. The most exciting part was the part where even the candles went out. No blackout curtain can compete with the pitch darkness of a cave. Try getting from A to B as a team - without visibility and in an area with height differences. And all this under time pressure.
During the assignments, the team was guided and observed by trainers Egbert and Ronald. The goal of the training was to experience cooperation under high tension and then reflect on it. When the pressure is on, it suddenly becomes difficult to form an effective team with ten headstrong individuals. As a group, you constantly seek the balance between acting quickly and keeping everyone involved. The participants found it very instructive to jointly evaluate which pitfalls they had fallen into (not literally, fortunately).
It was a very cool training. Where the marl caves were once used for the extraction of building blocks, building blocks were now extracted for better cooperation.
