On Wed, Dec. 17th- Geoteaming had their all company meeting/holiday party.  The theme of the party was “The Epic” and it truly was an epic day.  We started off on the Mobile Boardroom, offered by Ashton Limousine, talk about a “wow” factor.  Have you ever wondered what famous bands travel around in… well we got to experience it.

If you have ever been around a city where it never snows, you know how much a little snow can impact the place.  That’s exactly what happened in Seattle and the surrounding areas (up to 18 inches in some areas!).  Thus, “The Epic” was an appropriate name for the day.

After venturing north of Seattle heading for Deception Pass State Park the snow started to come down hard and we made a team decision to go to a park that was much closer.  Once there we off loaded the bus and broke up into teams.  The day was filled with mental, physical, and eating competitions.  At the end of the day we all played a game of Ultimate Frisbee in a snowy field.

Now exhausted, cold, and tired it seemed time to get back on our beautiful bus, consume some beer, and head back home for dinner!  It was a great day and everyone got their eye on bringing more “oxygen” to our company and moving forward in 2009!

Last week was a great week for us here at Geoteaming! We ran a new event called TeamLive, created a total experiential learning/team building event around downtown Seattle, and held an event at McDonalds headquarters, Hamburger University! Check out the Team Building tips at the bottom of the post!

TeamLive- SAVE THE WORLD or your COMPANY… This is a new team building activity for teams that want a big challenge that involves a lot of technology and great times. This event will force your team to communicate, collaborate, and learn to work together to accomplish the goal set before you. Email info@geoteaming.com if you want to learn more about this!

CIRCUS, IMPROV, PUZZLES- This is what our event last week with a team from Microsoft was like. Walking around downtown Seattle, this team building experience led teams to learn how to walk a tight wire, balance on a circus ball, solve puzzles to open a cryptex.

Hamburger University- What a program this was! Seeing this brand that is known around the world and having a great experience designing the course! We used McNugget boxes, Happy Meal boxes, and many other fun things as “caches” while at the McDonalds Headquarters. This was an awesome team building experience for them and a great experience for us! We hope to work with McDonalds a lot more in the future.

What is going on this week:

• Going to Haiwii for a Jeep based team building program! See HI in a way you never thought possible!
• An experiential and interactive Geoteaming experience in Woodinville, WA- one of the regions wine areas and there will definitely be some wine tasting!
