Learn more about TBI
Overview
TBi as we know it today evolved from a humble start in a store room of a family house in 1994. Born from a vision to introduce the fruits of a Doctoral dissertation to improve self-understanding, intra- and interpersonal relationships. The name “Team Building Institute” suggests the following:
- “Team Building”: When a client says: “We need team building”, the person either suggests that intra- or interpersonal behavioural patterns should change; or that a recreational session is required to allow people to socially interact.
- “Institute”: This suggests that the Educational Organisation specialises on a scientific basis.
AEL (Adventure-related Experiential Learning) applies knowledge derived from four disciplines:
- Psychology
- Philosophy
- Human Movement Sciences
- Business Science
- Recreation (Year-end-functions)
- Team Building
- Industry 4.0 Upskilling
- Conflict Management
- Project Management
- Stress Management (refer to Programmes on the Menu Bar)

Shy-red Studio’s
Our name is ambiguous. Firstly it is two of my favourite things, my daughters name and my fav color. Secondly, red can not always be bold and austentatious, it has to learn how to tame itself and be shy. So the name is an indication of how we also move in the world. That boldness can’t always be how we show up. Sometimes, the Shy has to tame the Red.
We create spaces for brands to change the world
