The prospect of up to two feet of snow cause a bit of a scheduling shuffle for this Wagon Builders™ workshop for Johnson & Johnson. But in the end, it was still one of the best events we’ve ever done. The IT department folks who participated certainly didn’t let a little snowstorm slow them down!
This program was a combination workshop: Everything DiSC® and Rescue Buddies™. We welcomed 29 Chemours Company employees from around the world. The group met to gain a better understanding of each other’s roles and how to work together using DiSC®. Then they put those ideas into practice with the Rescue Buddies™ project.
What a fun event! Oklahoma State received a grant from Phillips 66 for Team and Leadership Development. Magnovo was honored to be the company they decided to partner with on a continuing basis. We have done several workshops for Phillips 66, as well, so we’re excited to continue nurturing and developing our relationships with both organizations.
Over my years in leadership and management, I have had the pleasure and honor of having several Administrative Assistants help me to be more effective as a manager and business owner. As a matter of fact, I will be honest enough to say that without them, I wouldn’t have ever succeeded in business.
Did you know that April 25th is National Administrative Professionals Day?
No, you likely won’t find it on any calendar. There won’t be any parades or festivals commemorating the occasion. But that doesn’t mean you should let this special day pass by uncelebrated.
Team building helps companies in a variety of ways. Depending on a company’s needs, a Magnovo workshop can help improve everything from communication skills and leadership to authentic job ownership and creative problem-solving. Some of our workshops are designed to make generalized improvements in these areas, while others focus on specific events that are occurring within the company. This was the case when a team of 30 women from Amazon participated in the Bike-a-Thon we staged for them in Palo Alto, CA. Management wanted to commemorate International Women’s Day with a women-only event. They also wanted an organization that dealt with women’s issues to receive the donated bicycles. Of course, the team members also experienced a great deal of skill building the process, with everyone leaving satisfied with the results.
When a Menlo Park, CA pharmaceutical company wanted to do a team building event that also aligned with the company’s mission and goals, they chose Magnovo’s Hospital Helpers™ program.
It was a jam-packed day for 60 HCA Healthcare employees. After several professional development training workshops, the group was ready to change gears. Magnovo’s Wagon Builders™ charity team building event challenged this group of high-flyers while also reinforcing critical workplace skills.
Returning for a second charity team building workshop with a company is such a rewarding experience. While we’d done a Rescue Buddies™ workshop for pharmaceutical company AbbVie on-site a few years ago, this time, they asked for a workshop in conjunction with their Finance & Operations Excellence Awards event.
When the University of Michigan Ross School of Business Executive Education asked us to put together a charity team building workshop for a diverse group of faculty and graduate students, we couldn’t wait! The school takes a forward-thinking and inclusive approach to leadership education. It’s consistently top-rated among graduate programs conferring MBA, BBA, master’s, and Ph.D. degrees. Our Bike-A-Thon™ challenges participants’ leadership skills and provides a pathway for on-going growth. Because it’s a charity team building workshop, we arranged for the completed bicycles to be donated to the local Peace Neighborhood Center. This nonprofit organization assists children and families experiencing socioeconomic challenges.
