Why Austin teams bring in IdeaGuides
A neutral expert runs the room
Your leaders take part instead of running the agenda. Our facilitator keeps the group on task and makes sure every voice is heard.
Fun that has a point
Activities, improv games and treasure hunts are tied to real team goals like trust, communication and working across silos.
Built for your team
We shape each program around your team's needs, using interviews and surveys before retreats so the day fits your people.
Any size, any format
From a 10-person project team to a 500-person group. On-site in Austin, at an offsite, or remote for virtual and hybrid teams.
Experience you can check
Since 1999 we have served over 150 clients and completed over 250 projects for companies, agencies, non-profits and schools.
Clear outcomes, not just a good day
Teams leave with agreed roles, resolved issues and next steps they can use in Monday's meeting.
Team building options for your Austin group
Every team is different. Some need to break down silos after a reorg. Some need to clear the air. Some just need to reconnect and think creatively together. We design the session around the outcome you want, then facilitate it start to finish.

Trusted by teams across the country
“I have been to countless workshops on team building. However, yours was without a question one of the best I have ever participated in. Your exercises were user-friendly, fun to do, and most importantly, truly served their educational purposes...Furthermore, I felt that your group facilitation skills were among the best I had ever witnessed. Even with a tough audience, you made everyone feel comfortable and energized. For me, your session made my 6-hour plane trip (in each direction!) worth it.”
“Our staff had the opportunity to work with Bruce in a one day retreat, focusing on communication and collaboration between the various staff deparments. Bruce really helped us define our strengths and weaknesses and set our goals for improvement for the school year and beyond. At our monthly meetings, the agendas are driven by the goals we set with Bruce and more productive than before. We communicate more efficiently and an openness has arisen, where communication feels more "safe" and constructive. Overall, our team has found a new cohesiveness and therefore, we have made better decisions and put new practices in place that benefit not only our departments, but the school as a whole. Moreover, Bruce was a great guide to our work, while allowing our needs to be heard and drive the agenda for the day. Everyone is still taking about how much fun they had. I highly recommend Idea Guides for your next team building retreat.”
“Great day- all smiles from everyone I've seen who participated.”
