TAKE THE FEAR OUT OF TEAM BUILDING
What is the first thing you think of when you hear (or read) “team building?” Why does team building have such a negative connotation to so many? For those who are naturally outgoing, team building is often welcomed with open arms. For those who are introverted it’s often a cause of anxiety. By conducting a series of short surveys, our speaker Matt May of Premier Team Building & Interactive Experiences garnered the common opinions and misconceptions of team building, and he’s sharing his findings and solutions through his speaking engagements and his book, TAKE THE FEAR OUT OF TEAM BUILDING. Team building is more than zip lining, trust falls, and slide show presentations.
