You CAN always get what you want



Saturday, May 1st, 2010

Have you ever bought something online and received something far inferior than what you expected?  It happens all the time.  Last week, I thought I had purchased a flight from Allentown Pa, to Indianapolis, IN via Newark, NJ.   I fly over a hundred times a year and have never experienced what happened to me that day.  I got up to the ticket counter of major airline to check in for my “Flight” to Newark only to be told that I would get on the “Bus” out front for my “Ride” to Newark. (Yes, I was actually riding on a bus for the first hour and a half!! ) Needless to say, it was a complete shock to me.  The bus trip was crowded and I needed to see a chiropractor the next day because of the rough ride.

Now, I know what you may be wondering “Did it say Bus on the ticket?”.  The answer is yes, it did say in small writing where it tells you what kind of Plane that you will be flying on.  I do take responsibility for that. But, it was not made clear to me about the bus part of the trip.   As you may know there are ‘Airbus’ listings for various models of planes, so I didn’t think anything about it.    However, this is the area of business I what to cover with you today.  There are times that we order or purchase something only to find out that it was not what we expected or far less quality than we would have agreed too.

There are many Team Building companies out there to choose from.  Most of them, I would like to think, perform a high quality workshop that meets the goals and expectations that the client sets for them.  But, unfortunately, there are many out there that don’t find out or listen to what the client is wants in a workshop.  The workshop doesn’t go the way the client expected or wanted and they are frustrated and upset with the team building company.

At Magnovo Training Group, we find out as much of the needs of our clients as we can and make sure that the workshop meets their needs and achieves their goals.  More communication on the front end makes for a successful event.  We fully explain how the workshop runs and the benefits’ that they should expect from it.  But, even with all that being said, we have a Money Back Guarantee if the client is not totally happy with the workshop.  Now, I’m very proud to say that we have never had this requested by a client.  But, it is important for me as the President of Magnovo Training Group, to make sure that if a client is unhappy with the program or it isn’t the highest quality program possible, they will get their money back.  Isn’t that the way it should be?

So, if you choose a Magnovo Team Building Program, you can expect to be asked several questions at the beginning to make sure you get the exact event that you expect, or your money back.

How Team Building Events Can Make Your Organization More Effective



Monday, March 1st, 2010

If you own a company, you are probably always trying to use your resources to become more profitable and become the best company possible. So much time and effort is spent trying to research where the market is moving before spending any money on marketing. It can be very frustrating at times. This is especially true when we still have to manage day-to-day operations. Fortunately corporate team building programs and events can help you achieve your short and long goals for your business become more efficient and effective.

Why Corporate Team Building?

Basically, because corporate team building event is an event that includes your employees- the entire staff or single departments- with the end goal of better communication for enhanced company productivity and efficiency. The events typically occur at external locations such as retreats, conference halls and hotels, and create a team-playing environment for employees through games, and problem solving activities. Studies show time and time again that employees involved in corporate team building events come back to work noticeably more productive, enthusiastic, and overall happier.

Team-building Enhances the Efficiency for Your Business

One of the biggest goals and typical outcomes for businesses and organizations that enlist in one of these corporate team building events is enhanced efficiency. Your business can have the most up to date equipment, the newest technology, the best employees and the best product possible for your prospective customer. However, if your employees do not know how to effectively work as a team, your company’s objectives and overall efficiency will greatly suffer.

So, how do these corporate team building programs, events, and retreats teach your employee workforce how to better communicate in a day, weekend, or week? First, like any business or service, the professionals involved in corporate team building programs have been trained in personal communications. They know the basic personality profiles that make up any sample group of people, and can therefore use this to work with your employees in order to unite them. The team building activities, games, etc. that they use have been tried and proven to best connect your team through better communication.

More Effective Communication

Your employees communicate on a daily basis amongst themselves, but, because of human nature, they may be subconsciously communicating with stereotypes, negative perceptions, and grudges that only serve to break down effective communication. This breaks down the efficiency and productivity of your entire business. Team building events teach your employees, through games and activities, how to trust, depend upon, and better communicate with their fellow employees. In this way, they can better contribute to the efficient success of your company.

Improved Employee Morale

Corporate team building events can also improve your company’s efficiency through boosting employee morale. Studies have shown that making people feel more connected at work to fellow employees dramatically enhances how people feel about themselves and their place in the company. Furthermore, it makes your employees feel like they are a vital part of the overall success of the company.

Improved Problem Solving Skills

Many corporate team-building workshops contain activities that bring the participates together to solve a challenge or puzzle. This is an effective way to reinforce the employees need to look at business challenges in a healthy way and not in the typical, “we’re all doomed” attitude. Teams work to find the best collaborative solution to problems and challenges. Once the solution is found, the teams feels a strong sense of accomplishment, and are more willing to take on future challenges with a confidence they have never shown before.

Overcoming Anxiety on Your Next Presentation



Monday, February 1st, 2010

Hi, this is Rob Jackson with Magnovo Training Group with another tip on how to overcome anxiety on your next presentation.

One of the most important things you can do with any speech to overcome that anxiety is to practice that speech. They say the difference between the amateur and the professional is practice, practice. That’s one of the things that you need to do to be very comfortable if you’re talking about the pristine element missing in there. You need to practice but you need to practice with a person.

If you can’t do it in front of a mirror, you can’t do it, try it down the road. The problem with that is you have no rapport with your audience. There’s no feedback. You’re not getting anything. You’re not getting advice. You’re not being told things that are good, the things that they’re a little bit challenging. So by doing it in front of a person, you’ll get that feedback. You just have to look in their eyes. You know that face look they give if you’re not making a whole lot of sense to. That’s the kind of feedback you need.

So the next time they’re going to give a very important tip, grab your spouse, your co-worker, your friends and say, can I just do my presentation in front of you. Can I practice in front of you? Even if they’re not great presenting your self where they got pretty good advice on how you can look more natural and feel a lot more comfortable. You would be setting anxiety. There is your tip for the day.

Team Building Events – How to Solidify Your Organization



Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Sure. We’ve all heard of corporate team building events, programs, and activities. Corporate team building training boosts your employees’ sense of togetherness as a team so that they can better communicate within your company to reach short and long term goals more confidently.

Team building training programs are held much like seminars and corporate retreats and can last as long as a week long, depending on the program and your company’s needs. Their tasks and activities motivate staff members to work as a team and this, in turn, bolsters the overall success of your company. What are the main ways in which a team building program may be the best next step for your company? Below, we take a look at how enrolling your employees in a corporate team building event will help to solidify your organization.

1. Individual Value- By introducing your employees to a team building training event, they will feel more important as an individual-both by you for enrolling them, as well as, as part of a team that values what talents and experience they bring to the team activities.

2. Teams Connection- Team building training events also makes your employees feel a better sense of connectedness to one another. Through intensive games and tasks, they are forced to work one on one with one another and thus break through any preconceived notions or misgivings they may have had previously. This builds a sense of team connection and togetherness, much like a family. They can now depend on one another to carry out work more efficiently.

3. Motivation- Another great result of team building events is the motivation and inspiration that it gives your employees. They stop thinking that they must clock in and clock out every day five days a week, and they start thinking that they can help the company achieve better results through their own actions.

4. Retention- More than anything you want good employees to be happy in their positions and their future with your company. By enrolling in a team building program, you are showing your employees that you consider them important to your company’s goals. This, in turn, makes them feel more valued and more likely to stay and grow with the company.

5. Profit Margins- By ensuring that you have happy employees that are motivated, can communicate more effectively, and feel a valued part of a larger whole; you will necessarily experience enhanced profit margins. The happier an employee, the more apt they are to try to meet goals, company objectives, and the like. Many business executives overlook the importance of employee wellbeing, but it one of the most vital keys to keeping a company solid and successful.

These are just a few of the many positive results that you, your employees, and your organization will experience if you decide to enroll in a corporate team building training program. These programs and retreats basically re-teach us the reason that we began a career, a position, or a place in a particular company; and show us all the positive aspects of our past experience with it as well as our part in the future potential of the company. This is what you need for your employees in order to solidify your organization for years to come.
