I’ve Got Your Back

Blog, UncategorizedBy

I watch a lot of action and sci-fi movies, and inevitably there’s a scene where the hero, preparing to rush into a gun fight, turns to his right-hand man (or woman, or Droid) and says, “You cover me”. On the silver screen, this is a great “trust moment” for the protagonist…

Are you a Wizard or a Muggle

Blog, UncategorizedBy

I was rereading the first book in the Harry Potter series the other day and got to pondering: What makes J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world so compelling? I think it’s the fact that the author has created this whole secret universe, furtively co-existing alongside our own mundane, non-magic “Muggle” reality. By…

The Source of Happiness

Back in 1987, I was in the process of wrapping up a two-year stint in Shimonoseki, Japan as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher when my path took me up to big-city Tokyo. For the last few months, I’d been living in kind of a dark place, emotionally: …

It’s October of 1987 and I’m anxiously waiting in the “poste restante” line of the Singapore post office – two months and untold miles into my worldwide backpacking trip — absolutely starving for word from home. Back in the day – well before email, texting and twittering downsized our world – the only…

Showdown in the Himalayas

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you couldn’t move forward and you couldn’t go back? Well try standing on a rickety suspension bridge, 200 feet above an ice-cold river, with a herd of Nepalese oxen bearing down on you! The year is 1987 and I’m 10 days into my 3-week Nepalese trek…

JobTrain was seeking a new and exciting method of fundraising for our nonprofit, as well as exposing more individuals and organizations to the work that we do. We needed to find a new and unique way to engage new supporters to JobTrain, in particular a younger demographic. Hosting this team building event seemed like a great way to address both goals. Dr. Clue’s enthusiasm over the event matched well with the enthusiasm we were hoping to derive from the active younger demographic.

Dr. Clue was able to work with our organization, and its specific needs, to tailor a fun community-building event for our guests. He goes above and beyond to ensure that: 1) He fully understands your wants and 2) He fulfills them in a professional, friendly and approachable manner. Dr. Clue took time and care in understanding the unique mission and goals of our event and organization. It was a “thought partner” in refining the details of the event.

All of our guests were fully engaged in the event and had a fantastic time. The variety of clues, clue styles and difficulty level allowed for all participants to be included and feel accomplished. Our Dr. Clue facilitator was very engaging and inspiring, especially in his closing activity with the whole group!

Our guests enjoyed an amazing morning of teambuilding with their own peers, got a chance to meet other community members and made connections with other organizations at this multi-company event. This Treasure Hunt model allowed guests to release their inner child while solving puzzles like a modern Indiana Jones….what’s not to love?! Everyone enjoyed the challenge, the thinking and working together, the fun environment and the uniqueness of the event.

Dr. Clue’s Treasure Hunt allowed new organizations, and the individuals who work at those organizations, to become more familiar with JobTrain’s goals, work and community. We are excited about the new connects that were forged, and are looking forward to another Treasure Hunt, soon! Dr. Clue gave us a window into the possibilities of creating an event centered around on team building and uniting community activities. We are looking to build on this year’s event and grow for next year!

Great learning the elements of team building with fun activity and enjoying the surroundings. You get to know the strength of individuals in a different setting, especially outside of work.

I loved piecing together the clues and searching the historic town. Learned a lot more about the people around me.

What I loved about the treasure hunt was the tour of Charlotte and seeing new places.

Wonderful experience and great team building.

Dear Dave,

Dropping you a quick note to let you know how well-received The Dr. Clue Hunt at Universal Studios was. As you know, we have a team comprised of varied ages, personality types and physical statures. And, as advertised, the Hunt was a good fit for All. The comments I heard from our delegates were as such: “fun; just the right lengt;, challenging but not impossible; a great way to get to know your fellow associates. “

People definitely enjoyed this – and it helped further our “teaming”. As advised, The Hunt required a true team effort and utilizing every member’s skill set to solve the puzzles.

Thanks again! I would not hesitate to utilize your Dr. Clue services in the future when opportunity arises, as well as recommend to others.

We had a fantastic time on the scavenger hunt. It was a big hit with our team and by far one of the best team building events we’ve had.

Thank you so much for the enjoyable day!

Our department (the Education Dept.) here at the Medical Center was VERY pleased with the event. They say it was the BEST teambuilding activity they have every done. And that is saying a lot – since this is what we do (doing workshops/activities, etc) – they can be rather critical.
