It's August. Could be hot, cool or wet even a combo of any of the above! Whatever the temp, wool is the ideal fibre. Takes a little more care but so worth it. Another way we can support our sheep farmers 🐑 #fridayfunfact #wool #sustainableclothing #naturalclothing
Very woolly sheep in background, with quote: No other fibre is as adaptable as wool. It both repels moisture and absorbs it, keeps you toasty warm or refreshingly cool, dependent on the outside temperature.

The tasks we set our clients seem improbable after the initial chaos! Yet breaking it down, giving everyone a role, helps the team to believe they'll succeed. Takes more than a few brush-strokes to achieve a masterpiece. #teamwork #MondayMotivation #teambuilding

Most obscure way of attracting a client? Recent delegate Googled 'why don't sheep shrink in the rain?' Found an old blog of ours' then looked us up! "What started as a bit of a joke suggestion, turned out to be my favourite ever teambuilding event!" #happyclient

Data is missing. Not often the first term linked to #WorkplaceWellness, which can be more gut-feel. THANK EWE to Emma Hossack of WeTalkWellbeing for her insights 🙏 Tune in via your go-to podcast platform 🎧 #Wellbeing #resilience #LeadershipDevelopment

It's not just any old Monday. It's #WorldEmojiDay 🎉 Emojis add tone and emotion to the written word, often lost or misinterpreted in messages or emails. Tweet us your most used emoji and tell us why 🤔 #communication #toneofvoice #EQ

Would you lie to her? Or why would you lie to her? A shepherd's dog is their essential team-mate. Mutual trust all the way. And it all starts with transparency. #tellthetruthday (not just today though) #trust #team #Transparency

When we say 'home-made farmhouse style cake using local ingredients' in our quotations, we really do mean it 🍰 Even the flowers are hand-picked and edible 😋 Just one other way in which we like to be outstanding in our field! #teambuildingevent #offsite #corporateretreat

Our dog knows when to down tools after a job well done. Or take a break before she has another go at rounding up those sheep 🐑 Encourage your team to channel their dog-day energy - kick back in the shade awhile with a cool drink. #fridayfeeling #doglife #teamwellbeing

Yesterday we received a fab-ewe-lous gesture from the 20 clients who had spent the afternoon herding these sheep. They pledged to personally multiply by 20 our donation to @RippleEffectNGO per #teambuilding programme 💝 More clients like this please! 🙏
