Revitalizing Company Retreat

The three companies here at 825 Taylor Road have been going through a gradual change and this past Tuesday, we all met for an all day retreat to kick off the beginning of our new corporate culture.

The meeting began with a "one word open". For this, we went around the room & everyone gave one word to describe how they were feeling. We got "tired", "anxious", "nervous", "curious", and a few "goods".

Then we discussed the importance of culture. How do we see our culture? How do our clients / vendors currently see our culture? How do we want them to see our culture? What do we need to do to bridge any gaps?

Any group is only as strong as it's weakest link. We continued by "looking in the mirror". Each division discussed their strengths and weaknesses (as seen from the inside by employees, AND as seen from the outside by their peers and clients).

Before breaking off the business section of the meeting, we ended with a "one word close". As with the opening, we went around the room and each person gave a one word answer to how they were feeling. We now got "excited", "energized", "focused", "ready", and even a "WOW"!

The entire day was not all business. We finished out the evening at KDB located within Easton Town Center, where we participated in team building activities and a general good time! For pictures of that part of the day check out one or all three of our facebook pages:

"Mini Who's"!

All the "Who's" down in Whoville the tall and the small...



Perhaps shrinking our employees was the most fun of all!!




For this, each mini "Who" was shot separately standing on tables, boxes, chairs or stools and shrunk down to fit into their place in the final card.







I included the last image, the "hand in hand" image to give you an idea of how tiny they were made to be.
I hope you have enjoyed the inside look into how we made our Christmas card and I hope you got as much enjoyment out of it as we had while creating it!

From everyone at Eclipse Corp. (Eclipse Studios, Solar Imaging and PageOne Productions) have a very merry holiday! :)

"Who" Dining Utensils!

To stay true to the illustrations of Dr. Seuss, our eating utensils were anything but traditional.

No forks, knives or spoons, instead we compiled everything from tools in a tool box to odd's and end's in our kitchen cabinets.




In the first picture, Patti is prepared to eat with two small gardening shovels and Craig has large serving spoons.








Stephanie is prepared to feast on her roast beast with a mini saw.
