While it’s wonderful to hear client feedback days or weeks after an event, receiving instant feedback from those in the actual room creates such goodwill and gives us, as facilitators, the opportunity to understand what really worked. We are very lucky to be in a position where every day groups of all sizes smile, applaud [Continue Reading]

Team Building in Sweden With a Difference

As these super-portable musical tubes are so light, they really are [Continue Reading]
