Pressure Cooker
Pressure Cooker is a high energy, intensive session that has your team preparing a gourmet meal for themselves, or, for greater pressure, their most favored clients. Participants meet at a restaurant reserved for them and are told they will be preparing a multi-course meal, either for themselves or for others. After an instructional period, team members are given aprons, hats, recipes, and everything necessary to complete their task. Upon completion, a thorough debrief uncovers critical elements of teambuilding and collaboration.

As part of their offsite meeting, 19 members of the Rite Aid Accounting Leadership Team traveled to Bethesda, Maryland, thinking that they were going to dinner, and they did. They just didn't know they would be preparing it...a 5-course gourmet dinner through our Pressure Cooker session. Under the tutelage of executive chef and presenter extraordinaire, Chef White, the team did, in fact, prepare a gourmet meal second to none...in two hours! The high-pressure exercise demonstrated the excellent teamwork that exists in the Rite Aid Accounting Team and their ability to respond effectively to unknown, unforeseen circumstances. Participants rated this session a Number "1" and said..."Very effective"..."Super!"..."5 Stars!"..."A great teamwork exercise!." Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Teambuilding, Inc. Supports Reality Show on FOX Television

Recently Teambuilding, Inc. was contacted by the producers of Renovate My Family, a new reality show on FOX Television that helps families in distress remake their lives. Hosted by Dr. Phil's son Jay McGraw, the show remodels the home (or one might say "rebuilds" it) while teaching the family ways to rebuild the family "team." For the episode on Friday, November 5th, Chef Jim White, who conducts our Pressure Cooker team development session, worked with the Senteno family to help them learn to prepare meals together. Jim said this was classic team building with a twist. Click on the picture of the family to enlarge it.
