Team Building Testimonials

"Many thanks to JGA’s Jacob and Mike, and Tustin’s executive team for the time, leadership and camaraderie. Excellent day spent with great people."

Aldo SchindlerCity Manager, City of Tustin

"My initial goal of helping everyone get to know their peers better was far surpassed. The ability of JGA to craft an off-site team building expressly tailored to my department’s needs was impressive, and the ability to pivot during the team building and spend additional time where needed was a welcomed added value.”

Michael SolorzaCity of Montebello - Director of Finance

"My Agency has engaged Jacob’s team on two separate occasions for two very different assignments. In both cases, he demonstrated a wealth of information and the unique ability to relate to all in the room. He definitely delivered!”

Bringing Your Teams Together

At JGA, team building is more than just an activity; it’s a strategic investment in alignment, trust, and authentic communication. Our tailored engagements help public sector teams break down silos, build psychological safety, and foster cross-department collaboration. Whether you’re navigating leadership transitions, service delivery challenges, or departmental disconnect, our facilitators create space for meaningful conversations and shared experiences that reconnect your people to each other—and their purpose.

The JGA Team Building Process

Meaningful breakthroughs happen when public sector teams have space to reflect, reset, and reconnect together. Our team building sessions create the conditions for trust-building, clarity, and candid conversation that do not often happen in the day-to-day. Each session is led by seasoned facilitators with decades of experience in local government who understand how to surface challenges, break down silos, and move teams forward with purpose. Here is how our process works.
