2. Canvas Creek was founded by Karen Grosz, an experienced business owner, coach and trainer. Karen was a reluctant fan of most team building concepts, she felt that too much time was wasted and generally the results were short lived. When Karen was hit by a flash of inspiration- team painting- it set her mind in motion. She tested her concept on family, friends and then in a full test setting until satisfied this concept worked, was fun, and was a viable option for a wide range of people. While optimistic, Karen did not expect to have such success with families, fund raisers and party events, those were happy results of a concept with wide appeal. Karen working at a fund raiser

3. We are like no other team building company. No Ropes. No Crying. No Kumbaya. While a few other companies use paint to build a team, none do it in the style of Canvas Creek. Our appeal is our simplicity, our ‘rules’ of process, the speed of the event, and, most importantly, the finished product, which becomes a lasting and powerful reminder to the team of what they can do- together!

4. Painting is one of those activities no-one feels like they can accomplish, yet everyone feels comforted and experimental because it is a familiar experience of childhood. It is also ageless- there is no technology involved, no histrionics, and no pressure to do more than fill a canvas with color…together.

5. The events are FUN! The results are powerful. We find that once people paint together, in the style of Canvas Creek, they want to do it again. You will often hear Karen say it is powerful enough to be effective, and fun enough to be a party. No other team building can say that!

6. We Believe in Collaboration. "The secret is to gang up on the problem, rather than each other." - Thomas Stallkamp As you learn about the process of taking a team through the collaborative art experience you will see how powerful it can be for your clients. That is just one part of our mission at Canvas Creek. We want to help coaches work together and to be successful. The Canvas Creek culture is designed to learn from one another and to be in cooperation, not competition of one another's success. One opportunity to work together is Stories From Canvas Creek, a monthly coaches call to share stories, ideas, problems and solutions. Collaboration- it’s not just for art! What ideas do you have for incorporating Canvas Creek into your coaching practice? What skills do you bring that could help other coaches? What do you want to learn from other coaches? Imagine the possibilities of collaborating! I believe, with my whole heart, that there are too many people to help alone, and that we are better off working together. ~ Karen Grosz

8. Begin as a group. End as a team! Begin. Become. Believe. As you will learn during training, there are three stages to the work a team does on the canvas. They begin as a group- even if they think they are a team. They become a team when they realize they can create art. At the end, they believe in their team and the pride they feel in accomplishment. There are the same three stages to coaching.

20. Founders Note I wish I could take you to coffee and tell you every story from Canvas Creek, every result we have seen and all of the dreams I have for this amazing concept. Since I can’t, I want you to know this- it works. It’s so powerful I’ve been known to cry during the process and then make others cry when I tell them the stories. Watch our YOuTube videos and it will give you a small idea of the impact you can have on your clients, friends and family, with Canvas Creek. We have seen families use seven pounds of paint before forgiving each other. We have seen fighting teams fight and then support each other. We have seen strong teams go on to do even better things. One of my favorite stories is about an engineer who didn’t know what to do with all of the emotion he felt after watching 80 high school sophomores paint. He walked up to me, with a very tense expression, and said “I think I just have to hug you.” We have been great friends ever since. This process is everything I have learned in my life come full circle, and from the moment I thought of it I knew I wanted to train others to help me share it. We’re still a relatively new company, but we have grown quickly and I am very proud of who we are, and who we will become- together. I hope you become a Canvas Creek Certified Coach and start making stories that will impact your life. I can’t wait to see what they are! ~ Karen
