Finding fun, interesting entertainment options is often the most enjoyable part of planning corporate events; however, once you have exhausted your list of local entertainers and spent the majority of your entertainment budget on one or two well-known acts, it can sometimes be a challenge to come up with additional entertainment options that will appeal to your attendees. Most people enjoy comedy acts and it is always a plus if you can provide an evening of relaxation and laughter to your participants, making booking a comedian an enticing option.

The thing about booking a comedy act is that it can go really well, or very wrong – and the outcome can directly affect your reputation. If it goes well, people will be talking about your event long after it concludes and attendees will remember that you provided a lighthearted evening of entertainment that was thoroughly enjoyable. If it goes wrong, they will also be talking about it – and you – long after the event is over, but the things they will be saying will not be nearly as flattering.

You can avoid a not-so-comedic disaster by taking the time to thoroughly vet potential comedians before booking them for your event. To do this, you can look for reviews online, inquire about how many corporate events they have done and either attend one of their shows, or request a DVD of their show if they are not local.

“A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.”

There is a great deal of wisdom in this old Spanish proverb, and what is good for the individual is good for an organization. We know that corporate health and well-being rests on its member’s physical health. How can your organization incorporate preventative health care into your teambuilding skills?

Long gone are the days when diagnostic care means a sterile environment and white gowns. You can add a health and wellness component to your get away agenda without sacrificing the amenities of a high-class resort. Book a long weekend at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia.

Take care of business with the impressive meeting facilities, and then take advantage of the latest in diagnostic and preventative health care in the West Virginia wing of the five star resort.

The Greenbrier offers 85,000 square feet of meeting space, tech support, in-house audiovisual support, security – the list goes on and on. After the meeting, your staff can relax on the golf course, horseback ride, fish, go off road driving, kayak, and even indulge in a bit of falconry.

Preventative health care and relaxation go hand in hand. Combining the two elements into a team care weekend can revitalize and strengthen your executive’s health.
