Now that I have metrics for my website I noticed that my previous blog post about Solo Entrepreneur Survival has been very popular. So it’s reminded me that sometimes I need to stop being strategic, or thinking too much about team building posts, and just write what I’m living at the moment. So here it…
The Why and The Meaning
I’ve been in a slump, dang it! No, don’t worry – the team building business is still thriving, but I’ve been uninspired. I know you can relate to those times when you’re going through the motions, working hard, but without passion. I’ve been focused on detail and operations and I’ve lost site of the big…
Team Building and Keeping It Real
So you may notice this is my first blog post in a couple of weeks. My goal is to post something interesting about team building ideas twice a week. But lately, every time I start to write I’ve been stymied and uninspired. I recently realized the reason has been that I’m thinking too hard. I’m…
Team Building Events and Fear
We’re never at our best when we’re fearful. Fear can be an upfront, overwhelming feeling or a subtle part of our everyday workplace environment. Creative people know that being afraid to fail is a stumbling block to trying new things and thus, to problem solving and innovation. Team Building Events help groups confront their hesitation…
Corporate Team Building and Team Tuning
I’ve often shied away from using the term corporate team building. Strategically, I didn’t want to have less appeal to associations and non-profits that don’t fit the typical corporate team building mold. But honestly, corporate culture is where people work together closely, often in teams, with goals and project deadlines. The working relationships require team…
Nashville Corporate Team Building
This is where it all started for me, and for a lot of us. I know I’m biased but Nashville corporate team building is sort of synonymous with music team building. I ran into a client recently and he introduced me by saying I had invented the idea of team building through song. Well that’s…
I Hate Team Building
I’m a creative type and as such I’ve always been a little different. As a kid, if you told me to go right, I’d go left. If everyone was doing one thing, I always wanted to do another…off by myself like a typical creative. So I really relate to potential clients who tell me they…
Get Right Brained
What does it mean to get right brained? Does it require a BFA in fine art, a film degree or a passion for guitars and bar bands? I don’t believe so. Our clients discover their right brained-ness by diving off the creative cliff with us during our musical team building programs. They discover they are…
Corporate Social Responsibility & Fun Team Building
“We’re looking for fun team building activities, one’s that don’t suck!” I can’t tell you how many times that’s the first thing I hear when I answer my phone. I commiserate – I get it. How many times have you been dragged into an uncomfortable group activity that doesn’t deliver what it promises? Dare I…
Team Building Activities and Bottom Line
I’m not big on metrics but when I see supporting evidence of what I’ve instinctively known to be true, I’ll jump on it! So I was thrilled to read Gallup’s research, “the path from the individual engagement elements to financial performance is stronger than the path from financial performance to engagement.” When your employees feel…
