Team Hollywood
A "1+" Day Teambuilding Event

Totally unique...totally memorable!

Are you looking for a totally unique and memorable teambuilding experience? 
Are you ready to move your teams to another level of performance? 
Would you like your team members to have a greater awareness of their potential? Then this is the training event for you.

Have you ever dreamed of being the next Steven Spielberg, using your own creative talents to make a movie? Here's a chance for your teams to be their own producers, directors, and actors and learn essential teambuilding concepts in the process.

Team dynamics, creativity, and fun are all part of this unique adventure that has team members playing multiple roles to produce their own award winning "Best Picture." And with high-performance trainer Dan Lyons and Hollywood producer/director/actor Sean Astin as your personal coaches, this team development session will live forever in the hearts and memories of your people.



Process
Teams are formed from among the participants, then given the task of producing a 5-minute movie (video). The productions are based on famous movie themes, but also must include the critical elements of current organization initiatives, values, goals or direction. The teams are given cameras, props, editing equipment, professional support, and a deadline, then turned loose on the streets and parks of the local city to begin their adventure assignment. Upon returning from filming the teams take a rest period, then reconvene for dinner, viewing of the finished productions, judging, and the Team Hollywood Awards ceremony. Everyone's a winner!

Teams are supported by a full compliment of teambuilding professionals so that there is a clear learning component to the event. Participants will come away with an appreciation of the power of teamwork and collaboration, team synergy and innovation.

 Tommy Hilfiger Canada Goes Hollywood!
Looking for an innovative way to teach leadership skills, Tommy Hilfiger Canada chose Teambuilding, Inc. to work with about 80 store leaders using our Team Hollywood session. It was "lights-camera-action" as 8 teams produced movies tying Tommy philosophy to such blockbusters as Titanic, Top Gun, Forest Gump, and more. After an instructive discussion of the 8 Secrets of Inspirational Leadership by Dan Lyons, and some intriguing Hollywood background by Lord of the Rings' Sean Astin, teams launched into the day's filming. A gala Academy Awards Ceremony capped a thrilling day. A special thanks to our Montreal friends at Gearwerx for coordinating the event. Click on the pictures to enlarge and enjoy!
