“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
- Helen Keller

The Chopping Block is partnering with Bliss Training and Consulting to give you the most well rounded team outing around.  We have combined the fun and intensity of competitive hands on cooking with the structure and leadership of talented team facilitators.  Choose from one of five programs, all designed to meet your specific team needs.

Following are five unique and custom programs each designed to fit your teams specific need.

Compete and Eat!  Our most popular Program

Finally, the perfect marriage of Food, Fun, and Teambuilding all rolled into one half day program.

Everyone wants to be on a great team. Yet, it seldom happens. With Bliss Training and Consulting our Introduction to Effective Teamwork or Compete and Eat program outlines the essential qualities of all high performing teams. After the program, the team cooking event then allows the individuals to work as a team and practice those qualities in an exciting cooking competition. Following the competition, we facilitate a team discussion on how the individuals interacted and how the team did or did not work as a team. All participants will gain insights as to how they can be a great team player and help to drive the success of their team.
