I N F L U E N C E R S  

I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life would I want to do what I am about to do today? And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

~ Steve Jobs

Team Building Indoors
 
 
Wacky weather has a way of taking over outdoor events. After three decades of facing the forces of Mother Nature, Venture Up leaders, with our passionate  clients, inspired a growing list of indoor team building activities to energize teams.

The Artrageous Murals program includes blank canvasses and all paint supplies for colleagues to get in the creative mode. Endo Pharmaceuticals had staff designers draw the outlines of the collage mural below, a successful effort to promote a new product at the annual sales meeting.
