The most gloriously over-the-top HR battle in Grandomastery: your rival CEO just announced the annual team-building will be another yawn-inducing trust-fall weekend at a generic conference hotel. You have 12–18 minutes to hijack the all-hands meeting and passionately pitch an insanely unconventional, borderline-unhinged alternative (e.g., “three-day silent meditation in an abandoned nuclear cooling tower”, “urban exploration of active construction cranes at midnight”, “company-wide escape room inside a working sewage plant”).
Your spoken presentation (or written memo) must:
brutally roast the rival’s boring choice,
prove your wild idea is the only one that will actually transform culture,
detail logistics, safety, and profound ROI,
and make every employee desperate to attend.
Deliver with the unshakeable confidence of a CEO who has already booked the venue.
Target Audience
C1–C2–C2+ (“C3”) business English learners & native speakers
HR rebels, culture officers, startup founders, C2 Proficiency Speaking candidates
Mode & Duration
Solo spoken all-hands takeover pitch + optional written proposal – 15–20 minutes per retreat
Key Skills Developed (True C2+ / Executive Level)
Masterful culture-transformation storytelling & narrative transportation – selling the impossible as inevitable
Advanced/proficient corporate-visionary English – blending inspiration, humour, and ruthless ROI with zero cringe
Bisociative team-building genius – turning dangerous/absurd venues into profound bonding experiences
Polite savage rhetoric – destroying the rival plan while sounding collaborative and visionary
Performative CEO charisma under scepticism – winning over a hostile room with pure conviction
Risk-to-reward translation – making health & safety officers nod along to lunacy
Emotional contagion & collective buy-in – turning “no way” into “take my money”
Core Theoretical Principles This Activity Is Built On
Bisociation of Danger & Trust – the most powerful bonding happens when teams voluntarily face controlled absurdity together
Ludicrism in Corporate Ritual – deliberate playfulness at the extreme end signals fearless leadership and innovation culture
Edge-of-Chaos Team Dynamics – maximal psychological safety is paradoxically achieved through calculated, memorable risk
Used weekly by top culture-first startups, executive off-site designers, and C2 examiners as the fastest, most fun route to magnetic leadership presence and near-native corporate persuasion.
