When this year's goal looks like Everest
A kick-off or a year-end event is not just another party. It is the day leadership tells the whole company where it is going, and the team decides whether to believe it. Andrea works with large companies with very ambitious goals, right at that moment.
Reaching the summit of Everest took years of preparation, a plan with milestones and a team where everyone knew their role. Andrea brings that to your company's coming year: the goal, the plan and the team.
And it doesn't stay on stage. The message is reinforced with experiential activities at the same event, or with a volcano team building a few weeks later.
Thousands
of people in one room, or several countries at once in a virtual format.
15 – 30 min
per experiential activity, for groups of 10 to 200 people, at the same event.

What is a corporate kick-off?
It is the event a company uses to start the year or a new cycle: it presents results, announces the goals and aligns the team. It usually includes a motivational keynote, awards and team activities.
Does it work for a year-end party?
Yes, for the year-end event of a large company, when besides celebrating you want to close with a message and aim at the next year. If the event is only a party, it's probably not what you're looking for.
Is it tailored to our company's goal?
Yes. Before the event, Andrea's team talks with leadership about the goal, the moment the company is in and the audience, and the keynote is built around them.
Can it be in another country?
Yes. Andrea lives in Guatemala and speaks across Central America, Mexico, South America (Brazil, Peru and Paraguay), the United States and Greece, in person or virtually.
