Fun and games and hard work too!

The latest 3 days of the RENKEI program have been crazy! We have covered so much in such a short period of time. Tuesday and Wednesday were spent with VOX Coaching's Pete and Matt, who guided us through teamworking, spontaneity, networking with others (especially those of a higher "status") and generally presenting oneself. I think everyone in the program, participants, organisers and guests alike agree than Matt and Pete done a fantastic job of relaxing everyone and really bringing joy and fun into some really challenging concepts.

We have been trying to capture the experience as much as we can, but most of the time we are too busy having fun and get too involved in the moment and forget about pictures! However we have made a special effort as we want to be able to show everyone what RENKEI is all about, so here are some pictures!


Pete talks us though the VOX workshop, on a rare occasion when we are sitting, as most of our time was spent on out feet, being active, and using our bodies for communication.

A freeze-frame of a short scenario, built up person-by-person without any prior communication. Can you guess what this one is? Answer: The prodigal son returning, of course! (with the added welcome by the family dog!)

Can you guess this one? Answer: A bank robbery! You can see Dom being a keen getaway driver, prematurely making his exit (to a tip for RENKEI people, we know who not to take on a bank robbery!)

A lovely meal in Goldbrick House hotel!

Workshops on presentations skills and entrepreneurship were held in Bristol University.

Katie as part of a presentation on poster presentation skills!

One team were very enthusiastic about poster presentation aesthetics! You can see the VOX training had a large effect on our confidence in using our bodies in presentations! 

A few people after a midnight walk across the river from out hotel, and a spontaneous RENKEI picture.
