Perfect Pair: Team Building & Professional Development

At BEST, our Team Building and Professional Development programs are uniquely designed to create a perfect balance in bridging a gap, with one side bringing energy and connection, and the other delivering insight and growth. Our expert program designers and facilitators are experienced in both disciplines, enabling us to craft and deliver 360-degree experiences that inspire employees, strengthen relationships, and build lasting team cohesion.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We identify your team’s goals, challenges, and culture through a thoughtful Needs Assessment. Then, we custom-match a team building program – often fun, competitive, or community-focused – with a professional development workshop that reinforces the lessons learned and elevates performance. Whether you’re planning a half-day boost or a full-day transformation, we’ll create a perfectly balanced experience that’s as impactful as it is engaging.

Let us help you strike the right balance – where collaboration meets capability, and fun meets function – on the see-saw of organizational success.

Just a few examples of great pairings between traditional team building programs and professional development workshops that balance and build off of each other for the ultimate collaborative success!

SmartHunt® + Time Management Workshop

SmartHunt®: A Tech-Powered Team Scavenger Hunt:

• Teams race through city streets, conference centers, or hotel properties completing GPS-based photo, video, and trivia challenges.
• Uses iPads or smartphones to track progress, submit entries, and engage in live leaderboard competition.
• Fosters collaboration, quick decision-making, and energizing team spirit in a fast-paced format.

Time Management Professional Development Workshop:

• Delivers proven tools and techniques for setting priorities, eliminating time-wasters, and managing workload effectively.
• Includes interactive activities that build self-awareness about time use and productivity styles.
• Perfectly aligned with the pace and decision-making of a SmartHunt, turning action into insight.

Why This Pairing Works

• Real-world connection: Participants experience time pressure and rapid task-switching in a SmartHunt, then learn how to manage those same dynamics in the workshop.
• Balanced energy and reflection: High-octane fun transitions into personal growth and skills application.
• Tangible value: Combines engagement, excitement, and essential time-management strategies for immediate workplace impact.

Igniting Team Performance & DiSC Behavioral Assessment Workshop

Igniting Team Performance – A Team Building & Performance Boost:

• A dynamic, interactive program that blends competitive team activities with key lessons on collaboration, leadership, and trust.
• Facilitators debrief after each challenge to draw out insights that directly apply to workplace success.
• Designed to elevate engagement, accountability, and group synergy through shared experience and reflection.

DiSC Professional Development Behavioral Assessment Workshop:

• Participants receive individual DiSC profiles to uncover their communication and work style preferences.
• Facilitated session explores how different DiSC types interact—and how to adapt for better results.
• Builds understanding, reduces conflict, and strengthens team dynamics by aligning behavioral awareness with performance goals.

Why This Pairing Works

• Seamless integration: The energy and experiential learning from “Igniting Team Performance” creates the perfect context and backdrop for interpreting DiSC results.
• Immediate application: Participants apply behavioral insights to the very interactions they are experiencing during the team challenges.
• High value: Clients leave with takeaways and actionable strategies that improve team communication and productivity.

Bridge to the Future & Delegation Styles Workshop

Bridge to the Future Team Building:

• Strongly collaborative – participants design and build a bridge strong enough to walk across to symbolize team unity.
• Encourages strategic thinking, creative problem-solving, and cross-functional teamwork.
• Creates a one-of-a-kind visual structure representing the group’s collective vision as well the company’s mission and vision. 

Delegation Styles Professional Development Workshop:

• Helps team leaders understand their own delegation preferences – directive, collaborative, coaching-based, etc.
• Introduces a framework to match a specific delegation style with the bridge build’s task complexity and time pressure.
• Provides tools to build trust, accountability, and empowerment through intentional delegation.

Why This Pairing Works

• Reveals Delegation in Action: Building the bridge naturally surfaces delegation styles—who steps up to lead, who consults, and who supports.
• Connects Symbolism with Strategy: The physical and symbolic act of building together reinforces the importance of trust, communication, and shared responsibility – core principles of effective delegation.
• Turns Vision into Execution: Participants take away more than just a shared vision – the hands-on experience helps build the skills to divide tasks, assign roles, and delegate with intention.
