WHAT MAKES OUR EVENTS
UNIQUE
OUR
PEOPLE
OUR PEOPLE
are everything
Unlike many leadership and team building companies, our founders and staff are professionally educated in the field of Applied Business Psychology and Experiential Learning. Our expert facilitators can guide executive teams through challenging waters and facilitate crucial, but difficult conversations. We can also facilitate key strategic discussions and decision making processes. Our staff include world class business leaders, adventurers, thought leaders, facilitators and executive coaches. Our training and experience allow us to offer clients a combination of business savvy, adventure experiences and leadership lessons that inspire and get bottom line results long after the completion of our events.
OUR
EXPERIENCE
Looking for a company who has done it all?
You’re in the right place
We have decades of experience delivering highly impactful events for clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to SMBs. We have facilitated hundreds of executive groups through all kinds of activities from indoor team building activities to outdoor adventures including rock climbing, canyoneering, off road racing, and whitewater rafting, just to name a few. This work is our passion, and we will stop at nothing to achieve our highest potential – and yours.
OUR
PHILOSOPHY
WE ACHIEVE
Lasting Impact
We take our Executive Retreat work very seriously, as we know that the most valuable asset of your business is the time of your Executive team members. We believe that our executive retreats should be fun and enjoyable, but if they don’t bond the team, teach new skills, and spark some AHA! moments, then they have missed the mark. We carefully craft our experiences taking into account client needs, company objectives, employee abilities, and the event setting, to ensure that your team has the most enjoyable and exciting experience possible that will also uplevel their enthusiasm, productivity and leadership skills.
WHAT OTHERS ARE
SAYING
The sessions that we had with Grand Dynamics were exemplary in terms of reinforcing what it takes to work, toil and struggle together to achieve our goals. It’s done in a way that’s relevant and fun.
