What is the first thing you think of when you hear (or read) “team building”? For those who are naturally active and/or outgoing, team building is often welcomed with open arms; however, for those who are introverted, and/or less athletically inclined, it’s often a cause of hesitation, fear, and anxiety. Matt May joins me to explain how team building is more than zip lining, trust falls, and slide show presentations.

After several years producing and facilitating corporate team building programs for a variety of companies, Matt recognized that there was an alternate way to provide individuals and corporations with engaging, interactive experiences. As a result, he created Premier Team Building & Interactive Experiences™, delivering programs nation-wide, and abroad. As the company’s president, he's responsible for the design & development of its interactive experiences, overseeing the production and facilitation of these programs, customer support, and staff training.

Matt is also the author of Take The Fear Out Of Team Building.
