Indoor Skydiving as a Corporate Event

Indoor Skydiving as a Corporate Event

Thursday, December 12, 2019

Close your eyes. What do you picture when we say, “corporate team building?” Ah. Let the eye rolls and exasperated sighs commence. We think we might know what you have in mind. We call it the typical corporate get together: a sweltering summer picnic complete with pesky flies and mosquito bites, huddled around a hazy pile of cinders and ash trying to pass as a campfire, singing kumbaya off-key, and don’t forget the trust falls. How fun.

What if we told you there was something entirely different, and dare we suggest even enjoyable, that you and your team could do this year as a corporate event? The best part is that our suggestion isn’t seasonally restricted. You can get your team out and about for a good time as easily in the dead of winter as the blooming of spring. Skip the Powerpoint presentation and bring your team to the indoor wind tunnel.

What makes indoor skydiving the perfect corporate outing?

Push Boundaries and Build Connections

Get out of the office and out of your comfort zone. Putting your staff into new and unfamiliar settings encourages your team to interact in new ways and can generate individual and group growth. At Paraclete XP, we can help you push your team’s boundaries in a safe, secure way. Experience the endorphin buzz of a skydive without the need for a plane or parachute. It’s the perfect change of pace for your motivational corporate team building activity.

Encourage Honest Engagement

A corporate team building activity is most successful when it encourages honest engagement from the participants. To make your corporate outing really outstanding the experience needs to be enjoyable and entertaining.

We doubt you’ll get any eye rolls or groans when you send out the memo announcing this year’s corporate event. With indoor skydiving you won’t be forcing anyone to have fun: it will all come naturally. It’s easy to snooze through a presentation about effective communication, trust, and collaboration—not so much when you’re indoor skydiving.

Amp Up the Energy in Your Office

Maintaining motivation in a lackluster environment is tough. Luckily, we have just the thing to beat a case of the break room blues. Pump up the positive energy in your office with an activity your team won’t be expecting: indoor skydiving. Company culture has a significant influence on productivity. A positive company culture yields much more than a negative or apathetic one. Improve company culture by providing an activity that allows your employees to interact in a new way. The excitement generated from indoor skydiving translates into a more energetic staff, increased productivity, and benefits for your bottom line.
