Team Building Best Practices

While my company’s team building programs are a great catalyst for change we’re honest about something very important. A one-day team building program won’t change your corporate culture for the long run.

I’m so excited that the opening of our Kidbilly Music Chicago office is almost upon us.

The reception we got was so enthusiastic. In response to the questions we received from Chicago event planners, I thought I’d share some answers about our…

I have team building clients who don’t know where they’re going, they’re not sure how to get there, but they know they want to be there.
