SYNERGO PROGRAMMING

Team Building: Connect with Your Team’s Deeper Purpose

We know the challenges of aligning a group of individuals around a common goal, especially in our current reality that mixes “In Real Life” with video meetings, chat rooms and text messages. Help your group connect to their deeper purpose through intentional time together under the guidance of trained facilitators. For nearly 30 years Synergo has been helping groups “become more than the sum of their parts” through teambuilding activities and we’re excited to partner with you in learning!

Team Bonding

Who it’s for: Teams who want to connect interpersonally, develop unity and a shared language/communication structure while having a memorable adventure.

Bonding together a group of individuals into a team requires a shared, common emotional experience.

Your team will be challenged, experience success and have an opportunity to reflect and apply what they’ve learned together.
