Your team already knows something is off. This is where they figure out what it is.
Most team-building events do not stick. Your people sit through it, eat something, and go right back to the same dynamics on Monday. The tension is still there. The miscommunication is still there. Nobody talks about what actually needs to be talked about.
Flavor of Leadership is built differently. It is a hands-on BBQ experience that uses the process of building a seasoning blend together to expose exactly how your team communicates, how they handle confusion, and what happens when roles and goals are not clear. You are not going to see a slide deck. You are going to see your team in action, and what comes out of that debrief is something a training manual can never produce.
We run this in partnership with Jason Hardee and Elite BBQ Smokers, one of the most respected competition BBQ operations in South Carolina. The food is world-class. The leadership content is real. We have already done this with the Conway Chamber of Commerce and the feedback was the same across the board: people left talking about what they saw in themselves and in each other, not just what they ate.
We offer two versions depending on what your team needs and how much time you have.
Built for chambers, associations, and company events where time is tight but the team still needs something real. In 90 minutes, your group will go through the hands-on seasoning activity, experience the structured reveal, and walk through a focused debrief that connects what just happened around that table to what is happening in your business.
For leadership teams, shop leadership groups, and companies that want to move past the surface and do real work together. Four hours gives us room to go through multiple rounds of the experience, dig into the full Five Dysfunctions framework, and have the kind of debrief conversations that most teams have been avoiding for years.
Our first Flavor of Leadership workshop, hosted at the Conway Chamber of Commerce with Elite BBQ Smokers.
We had so much fun completing Flavor of Leadership with Elite BBQ Smokers and Upward Path Coaching. This course was a creative and interactive experience our members are still talking about.
Business owners and leadership teams in the trades, construction, collision repair, and service industries. Chamber events, association meetings, company anniversaries, and offsite leadership days. Any team that works hard together but still feels like they are not quite in sync.
If you have ever said "we have good people but we cannot get everyone pulling in the same direction," this experience was built for you.
Production teams, estimators, front office. Everyone in the same room with the same framework for the first time.
Field crews, dispatchers, service managers. Teams that run hard and rarely slow down to talk about how they run together.
Multi-company events where the competition is friendly and the learning is real. Perfect for member engagement.
Service, sales, and parts in one room. Breaking silos through shared competition.
Crews who spend all day working together and rarely talk about how to work better together.
Conflict unaddressed. Communication breaking down. Culture drifting. This is where you start over, the right way.
Start with a free 30-minute call. No pitch. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about what your team needs.
