Team Building Training

Team-Building is an essential activity in bringing people of different professional and cultural backgrounds together. Activities encourage collaboration and teamwork while allowing participants to connect in ways they otherwise wouldn’t experience in their usual setting.

Teams are encouraged to think about the overall dynamic and how their actions apply in real-world/real-workplace settings. Team-building activities are fun, motivational, and helps ignite and further develop communication, planning, negotiation, cognitive, problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills. Activities help facilitate long-term camaraderie and deeper understanding of each person and the collective team in order to secure long-term success.

Our main activity utilizes the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Simulation, created by Imacocollabo. This is a multi-player, in-person, workshop that simulates managing the “real world” into the year 2030 by completing time-sensitive projects with resources such as time, money, and principles. The experience results in a powerful and impactful social phenomenon that gets everyone talking, planning, and really thinking about a sustainable future. How does a team balance the economy, the state of the environment, and the state of society after all?

This is a high-stakes, animated, action-packed activity that your participants will be talking and thinking about for weeks to come!

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The SDGs, also known as the Global Goals, are 17 goals and 169 targets set to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of the United Nation’s sustainable development agenda. Achieving the SDGs requires the partnership of governments, private sector, civil society and citizens alike to make sure we leave a better planet for future generations. The SDGs are ambitious and can seem overwhelming, simply due to their volume and scope. While dramatic in their potential to impact the world, approaching them can be daunting. Each team needs to work as a cohesive group to resolve the world’s issues and the impact each of their actions take not only in their immediate environment but to the rest of the world – affecting billions of people!

Who We Are

Simpson Consulting Services, LLC is the brain-child of Jennifer Simpson whose multifaceted background ranges from start-up and joint ventures, healthcare practice and medical research, hotel development and management, event management, call-center management, and diversity and inclusion consulting. Her career began in the early 90’s when she was hired as a business manager for a two-year project to coordinate joint-venture endeavors in the cement, garment, and food industries in Anhui, Shanghai, and Xiamen, China. Upon her return to the United States, she pivoted into various management roles in the hotel industry including the role of head project manager where she oversaw the development of four brand hotel properties in California.

Jennifer would go on to pursue her childhood interest in medicine and healthcare by completing a pre-nursing program and her undergraduate education in Health Science with a focus in Healthcare Administration from California State University, Sacramento. In 2006, Jennifer was awarded a U.S. Congressional Fellowship which provided her opportunities to conduct behavioral research at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Aging (NIA) and clinical research in liver disease at the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) in Bethesda, Maryland. California Senator Dianne Feinstein honored Jennifer's achievements by having the American flag flown over the U.S. Capitol. Her time at the NIH lead to myriad collaborations that resulted in several peer-reviewed publications and continue to serve as references in the development of new research.

Since 2011, Jennifer has managed The Verna Myers Company where her start-up, operations, and cultural experiences have helped the firm develop into a leading diversity and inclusion consulting firm. She is a Certified Diversity Professional through the Diversity Executive Leadership Academy and provides Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consulting and team-building services through her own firm, Simpson Consulting Services, LLC.

Her lived experiences cultivated her impressive skill for networking and connecting people together in meaningful ways. Her deep interest in professional development combined with her personal and professional experiences reinforce her passion for encouraging people to discover their best selves at work and in all aspects of their lives. She raised three children as a single-parent and calls herself a "walking United Nations" given that she is part English, French, Filipino, Chinese, Native American, Jewish, and Portuguese.

What participants
are saying about the simulation?

“ Playing the SDGs game I realized how much the SDGs are interconnected and can only be achieved in a collective effort. While we all pursue our personal goals, we sometimes have to take a break and look again at the big picture. ”
