The Best in Team-Building for Reno, Carson City, Tahoe, or anywhere!
DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
A majority of people, from management to staff, hate the words "Staff Development Training". Often, the facilitators of these trainings/workshops mean well, but the experience is boring, and boring is ineffective. When team-building workshops are done right, guards are let down, communication flows effortlessly, relationships are strengthened, and people actually learn something.
If you're interested in lighting up your team with new energy, please peruse our workshop menu below. Though each workshop has a basic framework from which we build, a personal consultation will be used to design your workshop to meet the overall goals you'd like it to achieve, like: better communication between staff, sales teams, customers or clients; we can spark chemistry and growth within a new staff; reduce work stress or drama; stimulate creative thinking, and create a safe space that encourages self-expression, diversity, and acceptance.

MENU OF WORKSHOPS
The Art of Play - A team that plays well together works well together.
Chemistry, Communication, Fun
"The Art of Play" - This workshop combines innovative icebreakers with basic improv games to create a playtime experience whose only agenda is fun. Though elements of communication, teamwork, and listening underline the experience, this is one workshop that doesn't actually feel like a workshop. The results are an increase in team chemistry, and a softening of "walls" that may be in place in any team setting (especially before a longer series of workshops or lectures). Our motto is: the team that can play together can work together. (Bonus: once learned, all games are yours to use at future staff meetings, parties, or any fun gathering).
Flow Talk - Learn to have graceful conversations about absolutely anything.
Communication, Personal Growth, Active Listening, Sales Techniques
"Flow Talk" - Qi Gong, Fire Spinning, Yoga, Jazz, Improv -- what do these things have in common? They're all "flow arts" in which the artist can achieve a meditative mental state called "flow", in addition to entertaining. The main principle of the flow art is the present moment, in which there is no attachment to the past or expectation of the future. Communication and conversation can be utilized in this way, yet many of us have to work through personal barriers to experience pure "flow talk". Join Jessica, an expert improvisor and public speaker, as she takes you through exercises to unlock this potential for yourself.
In short: "Flow Talk" is a workshop that uses principles of improv in a more casual setting to allow authentic, agenda-less conversation to unfold with grace.

Peter Panning - Learn to recognize and prevent your shadow from sabotaging your success.
Personal Responsibility, Personal & Interpersonal Communication
"Peter Panning" - According to Carl Jung, the "shadow" is any characteristic we judge as "bad", and therefore deny within ourselves. When we reject aspects of our selves, we end up projecting that which we suppress onto others, and keep ourselves inside confusing cycles of victimhood, addiction to drama, co-dependence, anger, and more. Shadow is so often at the heart of inner-office drama, and by learning to find it, we can free ourselves from the behavior that holds back our growth, success, and relationships. WARNING: This workshop requires brave self-reflection, and will separate the children from the adults.
The Art of the 45-Minute Meeting - There's nothing more delicious than efficiency.
Organizational Management
"The Art of the 45-minute Meeting" ~ Welcome to the 21st century where the majority of your life will be spent in a meeting, whether it be staff meetings, board meetings, committee meetings, parent-teacher conferences, etc. Meetings have awesome potential -- fueled by the collective energies of those present, to make great accomplishments. Yet, there's a prevailing belief that meetings are a gigantic waste of everyone's time! The truth is that meetings are often poorly planned, poorly structured, and poorly executed, causing great aggravation and annoyance to its attendees. However, there is hope. In this workshop we discuss the pitfalls and successes of meetings, and learn the tools necessary to create succinct, 45-minute meetings for any occasion.
Conquering Stage Fright - Become a master of public speaking.
Communication, Sales Techniques, Stage Presence
"Conquering Stage Fright" - Public speaking is a paralyzing fear. This fear can limit life choices, hinder professional development, and serve as a source of shame within our lives. In this class, individuals will begin to address the source of their fears, and gain invaluable breath tools and movement skills to begin to process and work through those fears. Whether you're preparing for a big presentation at school, a toast at a wedding, or an interview to land your dream job, a strong, confident presence can do wonders at increasing your chances for better results.
The Brilliant Presentation - Influence your audience.
Communication, Sales Techniques, Stage Presence
3:30-4:15: "The Brilliant Presentation" (Chris Daniels) - Public speaking is an invaluable skill we use every day, whether we are aware of it or not. From work presentations, job interviews, and sales pitches, to wedding toasts and engaging strangers in conversation, public speaking is a fine art worthy of our time and attention. Public speaking is a way for individuals to inform, influence, and/or entertain audiences. More importantly, public speaking is the art of conveying your truth. Our fear, or general avoidance, of speaking publicly can limit life choices, hinder professional development, and stunt social growth. This class will outline the process of creating speech, from generation to execution, and provide tangible and fundamental skills, tools, and techniques to help ensure best outcomes.
