Company Days: Step Away from the Beige Conference Room

We get it. Hotel boardrooms are easy. They have chairs. They have coffee. They have that one flickering light that makes everyone feel like they’re in a cell. But your team deserves better. Now, I’m not saying fly them to a luxury island for a week (although I can also help with that!), why not think outside the boardroom box and get people together in the fresh air or to cook a meal or to be creative.

- Adventure Camps Ziplining, kayaking, ropes courses—nothing says “teamwork” like dangling from a tree together. Bonus: no one can check emails mid-zipline.

- Wellness Retreats Yoga at sunrise, guided meditation, and maybe a juice cleanse if you're feeling brave. It’s like a spa day, but with team-building and fewer cucumbers on your eyes.

- Cooking Classes Think “MasterChef” or “Bake-Off”! Split into teams, cook a meal together, and try not to burn it. Bags not being the taste tester!

- Creative Workshops Pottery, painting, improv comedy—because nothing builds trust like watching your CFO try to recreate “that” scene from Ghost.

Why It’s Worth the Effort Yes, it takes a little more planning, but that’s where I come in. And the payoff? Huge. • Stronger connections • Real relaxation (no one relaxes in a swivel chair) • Fresh ideas (nature is basically Wi-Fi for the brain) • Memories that don’t involve stale muffins and awkward icebreakers

Let’s Make It Happen So next time someone suggests “just booking the usual hotel,” smile politely—and then send them my way. We’ll discuss the budget, the destination, the activities and I’ll get to planning a memorable team bonding experience for all.
