Incorporating the Great Outdoors into your next meeting!

It's part of a growing trend we've noticed over the last year.  Instead of holding business meetings inside,  more companies are ditching conference rooms and heading outdoors. Some companies even take it one step further and look for ways to incorporate "movement" into their meetings.  The other day we were at a hotel, getting ready to meet with one of our clients when someone at the next table mentioned how their sales team conducts their once a month business meeting while taking a hike along the beach. As funny as that may sound, studies show that active employees who spend time outdoors are happier and more productive than those who sit inside all day.

As a tour company who promotes the great outdoors, we love this trend!  And now that the warmer months are here, why not incorporate a relaxing beach walk (or easy bike ride) into your next board meeting?  We do this with our own staff and find that some of our best ideas often come when we're outside, enjoying San Diego's awesome weather.

We've also created fun activities for groups who wanted to incorporate some type of exercise into their meeting. Keep in mind the activity doesn't have to be physically demanding. It can be a casual hike in the canyons or a super easy bike ride with regular stops every few minutes so employees can take notes if need be. The idea is to get employees out of the office and outside where they can enjoy our fantastic weather. 
If you can make that happen, you'll increase your team's productivity and probably put a smile on their faces!
