Corporate Team Building Seminar Information

Wallnuts Inc. began designing and producing Leadership and Team Building seminars in 2001. One of our first clients was Exxon Mobil Canada. Chris Coles, who organized the training program for Exxon Mobil at that time, said afterward that the course run by Wallnuts was one of the most professional and thorough team-building seminars he had ever attended.

Wallnuts has since developed a more extensive program and have completed a number of seminars for corporations around the St. John's area. Our staff have a wide scope of education and expertise, allowing us to excel in this field. We have a way of making things fun while maintaining a level of seriousness and professionalism necessary to make our seminars worthwhile.

The activities we run are simple and fun, yet all involve teamwork and leadership skills that can be applied in the workplace. We are able to tailor our seminars to fit your specific needs at no extra cost – if you want us to specialize in one aspect or emphasize certain things, we can easily accommodate your request.

Our instructors are experienced and patient. They have a passion for climbing and a natural ability to impart their knowledge. Facilitators have varied backgrounds-some are climbers who have made vertical endeavors the focus of their lives, while others are professionals in non-sport related fields who climb when their schedule allows.

Why Climbing?

Climbing is a natural team building activity. It is goal-oriented and requires cooperation, trust, and good communication skills. Professional facilitators provide your organization with activities that will enhance and change the way individuals view themselves, their co-workers and the team as a whole. Briefing and debriefing exercises help reinforce what is learned.

Indoor climbing involves problem solving and anaerobic exercise. Climbing lends itself naturally to team building since partners must depend upon one another's cooperation and trust. It builds self-esteem and confidence, allowing participants to feel a sense of accomplishment by reaching a goal - usually the top of a wall. Regardless of an individuals fitness level, participants will find routes they can climb.
