Tom Zacharski shared this photo from the IG account @growthbyvisuals, and it struck me as quite thought-provoking.

Why is it that sports professionals train every day, but corporate training is so sporadic? I can understand that individual athletes are paid millions per year, and the business depends on them performing well. But companies also collectively spend millions on employee salaries (with top execs earning millions on their own) and need to perform every day of the year. You’d think that just like top-notch athletes train every day, top-notch employees would train more often.

Sadly, most corporate training or management development programs I’ve taken part in were compliance-driven “tick the box” exercises, or development programs that I soon forgot about a few days after completing. Perhaps the programs themselves are lacking.

That’s part of what drove Tom and me to create Teamwork Unlocked. We believe in the importance of leadership training and management development - but also that the experiences should be fun, interactive, and memorable. That’s why we designed half-day workshops around important business skills like Building Effective Teams, Communication, and Collaboration… and we deliver them through escape room training.

This is immersive learning at its finest. Our leadership escape room training programs don’t just teach; they place participants in real-time problem-solving scenarios where communication, trust, and collaboration are essential. It’s a fresh approach to team development training and team building - one that resonates far more than a slide deck or checklist ever could.

By bringing together the thrill of an escape room Singapore experience with the depth of structured leadership training Singapore programs, we’re helping teams build skills and memories that last long after the session ends.

We hope you’ll be part of the world’s first B2B escape room created as a leadership training and team development program in Singapore!
