Team Building Workshops

If you want a day off to climb ropes, race in a dragon boat, or hunt for clues around the city, the results will be fun and employees will get to know each other better. We don’t do those.

On the other hand, if you want a training day that gets at the practical aspect of how teams can do better, then Mark Ellwood’s “Terrific Teams” is just for you. Mark’s innovative, experiential execises delve into project managment, team strategies, assimilation of new members, and non value-added tasks. And they’re fun too. The key is Mark’s insightful debriefing style. He inspires teams to discover what works after engaging in a team building task. Teams will go away enlightened, with practical ideas on how they can improve. (And, did we say they can have a bit of fun?)
