Perhaps the most popular team building options that are trending currently are CSR events. Driven by a wonderful directive to help those in need, various “building” options such as bike, wheelchair, children’s wagons, and the mini-golf with groceries programs are in demand, and versions of these programs are popular worldwide.

To respond to the needs represented through community awareness, other new and exciting programs have recently been created such as the Alzheimer’s program which provides iPods® with music from the generation of the recipient, and the guitar build program for schools in low-income communities to add the instruments to their respective music departments.

In addition, iPad® technology is available to enhance these programs in the form of pictures and videos for capturing the excitement of the event for later viewing, and to enhance fun competition with real-time scoring.

Other advanced variations of technology enhancements are trending as well, and have added tremendously to today’s successful team building events. For example, in a SmartHunts® program, each team has an iPad with the SmartHunts app which guides them to complete fun and team-oriented challenges as they explore a pre-selected geographical area, hotel or conference center. The high-quality pictures and videos taken with the iPad throughout the event will earn points for the groups’ competition. Photos and videos captured create an exciting slideshow live for the event wrap-up and debrief.

The SmartHunts app also allows for customization with client specific content including video, photo missions, and corporate trivia, as well as follow-up testing and polling based on program sessions from other parts of a larger meeting. This combination of interactive fun, positive employee interaction, and workshop-level learning is a powerful selling point and added value for the client.

Also trending are various combination programs, where a team building program is paired with a charity theme in a single event. In a popular two-pronged example, a 3-hour workshop can move groups through fast-paced activities designed for a manager’s leadership skills training, utilize the iPad app to determine the retention of information in real-time, and end with a bike build for charity!

With time-management always an issue in today’s fast-paced environment, the consensus is that these combination experiences, ending with a contribution to the local community, hits on several cornerstone elements for today’s successful organizations while proving to be a valuable use of time.

    What is a Keynote Speaker?

    Keynote Speaker is an often-misunderstood term associated with simply a motivational speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, etc. Most professional speakers are not actual trained Keynote Speakers, who are specialists, therefore in much lower supply, and in higher demand.

    Keynote Speakers are experienced, professional communicators who engage an audience, capturing the essence of a client’s meeting. They are able to highlight it to their audience while simultaneously delivering their own key concepts and proprietary content in an entertaining and impactful way. Most companies understand that this specialization is very much worth the time (around an hour) and the investment.

    In order to capture the perfect essence, a Keynote Speaker spends the necessary time researching a client’s industry, their issues, and their audience to craft a customized presentation into a unique and distinctive moment specifically for the client’s event.

    As a top Keynote Speaker, Tom Leu strategically uses compelling storytelling, humor, powerful visuals, audio and video clips, and audience participation elements to weave an impactful message into your event in a fun and memorable way. Tom can also pair his Keynote with Best Corporate Events programming, laying a foundation and setting a tone that best prepares participants for maximum engagement in the forthcoming team events that day.
