While much of the country is freezing, we feel blessed to call San Diego home.
This week, temps were in the high 70’s/low 80’s and the low tides made for an excellent excuse to go on a beach hike!

We took off our shoes and practiced “grounding” which is so beneficial for the soul. We love doing this on our own personal time but we also offer these Wellness Walks to corporate groups.

Such a great way to get your steps in, explore secret San Diego spots and balance your nervous system!

Cheers to our sister company Out of The Ordinary Group & Team Adventures for celebrating 30 wonderful years in business! 🤙😁👏

Back in 2011, our company Where You Want To Be Tours was named “Best Team Building Company” by California Meetings & Events Magazine. We were thrilled but what’s interesting is that we tied with another company, Out of the Ordinary Team Building.

At the time, we had no idea that in 2015, we would acquire Out of the Ordinary and that two powerhouse team building companies would merge. Since then, it’s been an amazing ride... and this year marks Out of the Ordinary’s 30th year in business! Big thanks to Founder Carrie Ellwood for starting the dream!!

We obviously could not do this on our own. We have a wonderful team who supports us, along with strong partners and incredible advisors who mentor and teach us every day. Thank you!

Running a small business isn’t easy but we love it. To all our fellow business owners who show up every day and keep betting on their dream... keep at it. We see you and we're cheering you on!

This holiday season, there are MANY things to be grateful for. But at the top of our list are these fine folks… our tribe… the team that makes us look good! Not everyone on our team is pictured but you know who you are. 😃🤙

Thanks for all the special memories in 2025. Looking forward to an epic 2026!

And speaking of the New Year..a special shout out to our sister company, Out of The Ordinary Group & Team Adventures, as 2026 marks their 30th year in business! Wahoo!! 👏👏👏

Thinking about hiring a public speaker for your next corporate event? Don’t just spin the wheel!

Ask the right questions and make sure your speaker actually delivers.

Check out my latest blog for the top questions you should ask before booking a speaker: https://groupadventures.com/questions-to-ask-before-hiring-a-public-speaker/

When people learn that I spent years in TV news, I often get asked to speak. Sometimes, it’s facilitating one of our corporate team building programs or moderating an industry panel. Other times, it’s delivering a keynote at a conference. But whatever it is, I always love it. For me, Public spea...

We’re headed to Las Vegas! 😃✈️

When it comes to helping teams create a positive company culture, that’s something we’re very passionate about.

Next week, our very own Darlynne Reyes Menkin, will be speaking on Culture + Wellness at the big IMEX Conference. Btw, Wellness is so much more than early morning yoga and drinking green juice… it’s a mindset. 🧃💡

It’s a wrap! 🎬

BIG thanks to all the Speakers, our staff and of course our sponsor and host, Dan McKinney Family YMCA, for helping me bring my latest “Health & Wellness Speaker Series” to life!

I love curating meaningful conversations, especially when it has to do with our health… and things we should be doing NOW, so we can live our best life, well into our 80’s and 90’s… perhaps even longer! 🏃‍♀️👵

If you’re planning your next corporate wellness event, team retreat, or simply want your employees to live a long, healthy life, I’d love to connect and explore how we can bring conversations like these to your workplace or organization. Let’s talk!

It’s been quite a week and today, we took it to a whole new level. It all started with our 3 AM wake up call, so we could be on the road to Irvine at 4 AM. ⏰🚘

From there, our Amazing Race/Curated Sightseeing tour kicked into high gear. We led competing teams through Encinitas, Balboa Park and eventually landed at Hotel del Coronado, where the winning team won Olympic style medals! 😃🏃‍♀️🥇

Our legs are tired but our hearts are full! 👍🤙
