No silly games. No escape rooms.
No scavenger hunts.

Our programs are fun and engaging and allow everyone to participate. Except we use our experiences to teach important lessons. Learnings that can be immediately applied. We challenge the way groups think about the work they do and how they show up.

Experience

Our experiences are fun and inclusive. Conducted on a level playing field people are encouraged to show up as their authentic selves.

Grow

Learning is not sufficient by itself. Contemplating what is learned and how it applies is the process of growth. Responsibility comes with learning.

Learn

Through our experiences, people learn from their outcomes. Sometimes learning from success and sometimes from failure.

Change

We have the ability to change behaviors but we must become aware of the behavior we want to change first and have some motivation behind it.

30 years of experience with leaders of industry

We have influenced many organizations around the world. Our long list of partners include leaders in their respective ecosystems who believe gaining a fresh perspective through professionally facilitated, outcome-based programming can spawn new ways of conducting business.

Unique Strength of Signature Teambuilding

Experiential Learning

People learn best by doing not listening, reading or watching. When they experience the results that come with applying their existing skills & behavior (both successes and failures) they are more inclined to evaluate their behavior situationally and make the same or different choices in the future.

Fully Customizable

Our programs are built on proven “frameworks” with 30 years of experience however, we recognize that each client is unique therefore each program is customized to meet their specific goals and learning outcomes.

Pragmatic Approach

Debriefing and integrated learning are part of every program. We work to keep focused on just a few things during each program similar to the way people learn. We use easy to understand, common sense models that people can actually remember and apply, not theoretical non-sense that doesn’t connect in real ways.

Innovative Programming

Our programs are “state-of-the-art” and refined over time. We have seen our industry change over time and have stayed true to delivering programs of value and learning, not just fun and games.

Thirty Years Ago

Thirty years ago I started a journey. I wanted to help people discover their true potential. Understand the importance of building deeper and more meaningful relationships with their teammates. And to realize the incredible power of a team. Effective teams support one another, communicate well and leverage the abilities of each team member.

My journey began in 1989. The phrase “team building” was not really even a part of the business vernacular. “Experiential learning” was often misunderstood or misconstrued as “EXPERIMENTAL LEARNING”. And there were only a handful of “ropes courses” around the country. It took time but through a heavy dose of education and persistence, the business community warmed to the idea of team building.

Today

The new wave in team building was everyone’s way to quick riches. By the mid 2000’s, new companies and ideas were popping up just about everywhere. Activities like paintball, corporate scavenger hunts, crazy olympics, Survivor themed events, etc. and what they all had in common was the phrase “team building”.

My idea behind team building was to empower the individual and the team as an investment in corporate human capital. The new activities seemed to have nothing to do with building a great productive and sustainable team, they promoted cheating to win at all cost, diminishing the value of people, and embarrassment for some.

Today, almost everyone has participated in some team building experience. Some good and some bad. The team building industry has been watered down to the point that the new definition for team building is…Anything that gets a group together. Unfortunately, many of these new team building activities have nothing to do with building a better team and some do just the opposite.

Tomorrow

So, my journey continues 30 years later. I have chosen to remain true to the original purpose behind team building and provide purposeful programs that create meaningful interactions between people with the goal of developing teams that work.
