You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.

Enough Winter

Greetings,
 
Welcome to Venture Up's first digital newsletter. Here you'll find our  clients having fun at work, unlike Mr. Snowman.

We bring value and humor to what y
ou

Our facilitators are well-read, well-traveled, and chosen for their empathy and understanding of the individual needs of a team on a mission. Our programs are not about us, but about you.

When you hire Venture Up, you send a clear message that you value your staff. You show your commitment a positive corporate culture, where building trusting relationships is an ongoing process.
 
Cheers!
