Team Building Seminars
We do team building seminars for business based on optimizing individual and team performance using ErgoDynamics. Most people can improve their effectiveness by at least twenty percent by recognizing their own preferences and arranging their spaces to support them. We use various quizzes which participants give to each other, along with some physical motion, to maximize retention of the material.
Our Enrichment Experiences draw on the uniqueness of Wine country. These cross over seminars combine personal discovery and the culture of the region to produce opportunities for personal insights, group interactions and enjoyment.
Storytelling for Greeting Speeches & Entertainment
We all love stories about the places we visit because they help understand what makes them special. Our Stories can be entertaining, charming, funny, instructive and motivational. Visitors enjoy the wine, but they remember the stories!
We also speak about the wine industry, and how this region became so successful. Our Wine Country in Shorts books is a mix of stories and insights into the region's wine business and culture. Our talks include beautiful, informative related video of the region.
Books
Our Greeting & entertaining Talks come from our book 'Wine Country in Shorts, the Stories of Napa and Sonoma'
Our stories about the local history are perfect for greeting large conferences and entertaining small groups. Some of our talks provide fascinating, and instructive insights into the very successful wine industry. Our motivational speech is about the mix of vision, hard work and luck that led to Napa's wines ranking so well in the famous Judgement of Paris. which changed the region forever!
Our Other Books
Our talks on supercharged business ergonomics dramatically improve audience skills. Our interactive talk, ‘5 Steps to a Great Home Office’ is especially popular in today’s remote working world. We produce local documentaries and commercial videos and know the best Wine Country locations which will work for your project and budget. We originally were working on a book about winery buildings because we had written three books on Feng Shui and thought it would be a fun addition. Ralph got a part time job driving wine tours as way to research the book. After about six months we realized there were no good wine tour books. So, the building book morphed into our first tour book, and now seven editions later we produce there versions. It’s been fun! And yes, Ralph is still touring with clients with our company Amicis Tours!
We produce the region’s top selling wine tour books, as well others on ergonomics, and of course wine, which we can customize as gifts for your group.
