Overview:
Ivan Michael has combined his unique experience as a corporate trainer and entertainer to create a fun and engaging team building experience– ‘You’ve Got Talent’ – that delivers
valuable learning outcomes.
Your team creates and performs a Las Vegas Style variety show. Each act is scored by a panel of celebrity judges and the highest score wins the grand prize. Although not a million dollar
contract or the prestigious Mirror Ball trophy, the winners do get bragging rights in the office!
It`s friendly competition where your team members are the STARS of the show! Everyone is a winner as participants experience the direct benefits of collaborating to achieve results!
How It Works:
• Each team works together to create and perform one act in a Las Vegas style variety show. (Don`t worry! Each team is given an easy to learn and even easier to perform magic trick. After about 15 minutes you`ll be ready to headline your own show on the
Vegas strip.)
• It’s show time! Each team takes the stage and performs their act.
• It`s all about achieving results so after the thunderous applause a panel of faux celebrity judges, played by three of your people, score each performance. The team with the highest score wins the grand prize!

The Serious Stuff:
and thrives on cross pollination and personal buy in.
Teams can straddle departments, age, gender, job titles, seniority, skill sets and learning styles. Crossing silos allows your employees to truly appreciate and experience the diverse
perspectives that contribute to your organization’s ultimate success.
Each team is assigned a simple and easy to perform magic trick and given a progression of defined tasks that culminates in a performance on stage. Not everyone has to go on stage.
Three quarters of the work is behind the scenes.
Participants negotiate within the teams for roles that are in line with their natural strengths and talents. Working from a strong foundation promotes personal buy in of the entire collaborative process and strengthens the link between attitude, working together and achieving results.
Teams have fun working hard and smart taking calculated risks in a truly collaborative experience.
Empowered players build strong teams that create amazing results.
The creative finger prints of each team player are integral ingredients in defining the ultimate success of the stage performance.
