Sensational Sandcastles

On a warm breezy day last week, 25 members of a Biotech Leadership Team gathered together to build their dream facilities--out of sand. These facilities included research labs, offices, lodging, recreation centers and more. The group was divided into teams that quickly began the task of designating designers, construction workers, scientists, artists and other 'job titles' as each team set about on their Sensational Sandcastle Construction.

TeamBuilding-Unlimited facilitator, Frank Price, led this event. The task, daunting to some at first, quickly became a fun teambuilding/teambonding activity, especially coming after a long morning of meetings. The goal and objective of this event was not only to learn more about each other but to also reinforce the theme of the morning meeting-- dealing with negotiations, new teams, and new way of doing business. Build a Better Sandcastle.

Each team met the challenge and surpassed their goals. What a great way to end the day!

Admins Eat Cake

To celebrate Administrative Assistants Day, a Bay Area genetic research and development company, decided to add some fun teambuilding to their menu, literally. TeamBuilding-Unlimited arrived at their luncheon loaded with cake, tools, icing, sprinkles and more, so the Admins could Have Their Cake and Eat it Too! What a creative group! They had to incorporate their company, their manufacturing facility and their team into the final building and decoration.

The final cakes were absolutely beautiful, and they tasted great, too! You can Have Your Cake and Eat it, Too!

Texas Roadhouse Roadtrip in San Francisco

While companies are canceling their out-of-town meetings, Texas Roadhouse was in San Francisco last week for five days of fun! G.J. Hart, CEO of Texas Roadhouse, says it's crucial to business--to reward employees, get some work down, and have a good time together. TeamBuilding Unlimited/Murder on the Menu didn't participate in the event (sadly), but it was great to learn that our fellow entertainers, event planners, caterers, and hotels were able to participate. Go here for the video.

Face to face meetings, incentives and special events are critical to good business.
