The Amazing Corporate Race – 1/2 day
Picture your team with a mission. You are divided into several smaller teams. We are in a downtown area near your office or at a retreat center. Each team has a goal – to creatively solve a series of clues that will take you from one venue to another, while brainstorming, collaborating and using the strengths of your team to get you there! Often hilarious, your group will be asked to capture your journey on camera, which we will share at the end of the program with the group and award prizes to the most “effective” (or outrageous) team.
We recommend pairing this with a half-day Personality Style DiSC program for maximum learning and value.

In many of our team building and leadership programs we strive to involve the community whenever we can. This gives you an opportunity to see and experience the fruits of your efforts, and it helps to bring the learning home. In the case of The Amazing Corporate Race you have the option of having your race be about collecting items to give to a local charity such as school supplies, toys, food or toiletry items.
