An Exciting, Action-packed, Highly Memorable Training
Format!
Houston-based companies continue to give this “day away from the office”
team building experience high marks for professional content; attractive
waterfront setting, memorable learning concepts and unadulterated
employee fun. 
In response to the soaring ratings assigned to
today’s food channel shows, TIMLS has chosen to take a leadership role
in the design of “fun with a purpose” hands on company teambuilding
events which center on team cooking competitions and group learning
activities which build camaraderie and strengthen communications within
company work groups.
This
unique gustatory adventure is all about “purposeful fun” and team
learning, with primary focus on strengthening group relationships,
building camaraderie and providing memorable hours of close teaming and
interaction with cooking tips constantly flowing from our own team of
creative, award winning chefs.
TIMLS
trainers set the stage but insist on minimally supervised
participant involvement, and each event attempts to be a reflection of
the client’s everyday work experiences and challenges - as opposed to
the traditional teaching approach of regurgitating theory to students
confined in an academic setting.

Why Train Away from the Office?
Many globally-placed corporations are now discovering that one of the
largest challenges in today’s highly competitive world is to insure all
team members move with the same sense of purpose and direction even when
individual backgrounds and work experiences are decidedly unalike.
For any company team to reach or surpass its goals it is imperative
first that it define, develop and protect a common culture, and the best
place to get in touch with company values, develop new business
opportunities and consider new work challenges, is in a well planned
company retreat.
 
Mutual Support Pays Large Dividends
In reviewing a corporate culture it should never be implied that
employees should attempt to become blueprints of one another. Rather to
the contrary. The big challenge is to find ways to use unique strengths
and differences in a positive and mutually supportive way. A common
culture requires constant review and maintenance as well as establishing
a set of understandable company values intended to guide all work
efforts.
Get Away from the Phones for a day!
 
We
all know that defining core values and beliefs and identifying cultural
imperatives is hard work and yet constitutes one of the greatest
challenges for corporate leaders. It is also known that an essential for
company success is being able to determine where, when and how often
such organizational matters should be discussed.
We believe one of the best places to make good things happen for a
company and its people is a place tucked far away from phones and emails
and the daily routines of the work place. Ours is such a place – an
inviting place where our clients report they get lots of personal
attention and important work done.
