Why Dr. Clue?

It’s all about Trust:

Ever since Covid 19 sent people fleeing to their home-based offices, companies like yours have been experiencing less socializing, less in-person interaction, and less cooperation.  It’s like people forgot how to interact with each other! The result has been
diminished productivity, communication and civility in general.
This is a problem!
“Team-building” is certainly part of the solution, but the larger issue is restoring trust.

 

Trust incorporates these five elements:

 

  • Talent/Competence — people are good at their assigned tasks and take pride in professionalism
  • Reliability — people do what they say they’re going to do
  • Understanding/Caring — they demonstrate interest in understanding other peoples’ struggles
  • Sincerity — they tell the truth in all situation
  • Transparency — they share their feelings honestly and directly
You can throw as many parties and mixers as you like and it won’t remedy trust if your team is missing the five elements above.
No 1/2 day program can completely rebuild trust in an organization, but it can certainly re-set the standard and open a pathway for dialogue.
During our Dr. Clue TRUST-BUILDING programs, your staff will practice:
  • Assigning themselves tasks and striving for competence and professionalism.  If they don’t have the necessary competence for, say, solving a particular puzzle, they’ll determine who in their team does have it and delegate appropriately, with humility.
  • Following through on their tasks and promises.
  • Demonstrating kindness, caring and understanding for their teammates.  (Clue-solving often brings up feelings of insecurity!)
  • Telling the truth about their task-status
  • Maintaining transparency about how they’re feeling (both physically and emotionally)
Treasure Hunt Benefits:

A treasure hunt, done right, offers a unique experience.   Some benefits include:

  • an irreverent walking tour (discovering the “treasures of the area”)
  • problem solving and lateral thinking
  • leadership and delegation
  • team bonding, stress release and morale boosting
  • high-spirited competition (that requires little more than thinking and walking–no running, jumping, lifting.)  Anyone can do it; anyone can contribute.
  • an opportunity to connect in a safe yet “stimulating” environment.

IN SHORT:

–If your group is from out of town and wants to get to know the area….

–If your group needs practice with leadership and communication…

–If your group is stressed out and needs to blow off some steam…

–If your group needs a high-spirited pick-me-up…

–If your group is seeking a unique, authentic, memorable experience…

…DR. CLUE CAN HELP!

 

Participants walk away from our treasure hunts thinking:

  • “I got to know the ‘super powers’ of my brilliant teammates.”
  • “I made some new friendships.”
  • “I saw some new things that I never would have seen otherwise, making the area ‘my own.”
  • “I learned a lot about myself.”
  • “Those clues were astonishing.  How did Dr. Clue even think of those?”
  • “I loved the challenge and feel smarter for having done it.”
  • “The whole experience was expertly conceived and executed.  We were totally in good hands.”
  • “That was so fun.  I’ve never experienced anything quite like that.”
  • “Dr. Clue really cared about giving us an authentic experience.”

 

  • Other teambuilding events can be too strenuous, leaving out the non-physical people.  Or they can be too difficult.  Or too easy.  Or too confusing.    Our sweet spot at Dr. clue is creating an event that is clear, coherent, fun, challenging and not too easy, not too hard.  (And of course…that makes you look good in front of your peers!)  🙂

 

Dr. Clue has been creating and leading the most ENGAGING teambuilding programs in the world for over 29 years!  That’s 30 years of treasure hunting!
