What do you want and need from your team?  Do you want your team to bond with each other, work more efficiently and effectively with each other, share a desire for success and ultimately perform to a higher standard? 

Our High-Performance Team Building is designed to achieve all of this and more.

This 1 or 2-day course, can be on a weekday or weekend and can be delivered at a location of your choice.   Your selected candidates will be briefed, coached, and supported while deployed to resolve real-world inspired Hostage Negotiation scenarios.  This challenging program builds trust and team working, introduces active listening skills, promotes analytical thinking and enhances personal and professional reliance when dealing with high-pressure situations. Our training is practical, immersive, challenging, it will be entertaining!

Our story begins in the world of hostage negotiation. Founder and lead negotiator, Kirk Kinnell, has always felt a conviction to fight for fairness, which led him to join the Scottish Police in his youth and later the Armed Response Team. As the Head of Hostage Negotiation and Armed Policing Scotland, over the course of 30 years, Kirk gained experience in various high pressure areas including the Organised Crime and Counter Terrorism Unit (OCCTU).Kirk quickly realised the skills learnt as a hostage negotiator were transferable to the all aspects of business and life. When Kirk left the police, he felt that these skills were too valuable to leave behind as well; thus, Negotiated Resolutions was born. (he felt that he could continue to help people in another way)
