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:

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
