Life Cycles Archives - Odyssey Teams, the team building and CSR leader

"Having done events all over the world and many teambuilding exercises, I must say that I may not be able to top the experience we had with Odyssey. Building unity, teamwork, collaboration....seeing your co-workers as moms and dads, brothers and sisters.....real people, extending beyond themselves to help others, has been priceless."

“Much to our delight, our participants had a terrific experience with the Helping Hands activity... and spent the remainder of the conference talking about it! The program that Odyssey Teams has developed is by far the most memorable, fulfilling, and moving "teambuilding" experience we have participated in”

"It is a great cause and a great program and the feedback that we received from the team far and away was that it was the best team building event they have ever participated in. Not to forget the perspective, collaboration, and business aspects that were driven home as well. I heard “life changing” on several occasions! It was the perfect way to start out our meeting and really set the tone for what we wanted to accomplish. We all walked away better for it and I’ve never seen so much enthusiasm from this group as they left a meeting like this getting ready to go back and make a difference in their jobs, and their lives!"

"Thank you and your team for two great days of training. I couldn't be more pleased with the training team you assembled, the content and how the material was received by the participants. You listened to our challenges and geared a program that got right to heart of some of our key management/organizational development issues. It was amazing to sit back and watch the light bulbs go on for our managers. I look forward to them taking the learnings back to the work place and applying them."

"Thank you for putting together and facilitating a fabulous collaboration exercise in Orlando. We’ve done a lot of different team-building activities and other types of exercises through the years, but this one was simply extraordinary. I have lost count of how many participants have grabbed me or emailed me to tell me how impactful it was to them on a professional and personal level. I was showing my kids last night the pictures we took on our iPhones, and they were amazed."

"You did an amazing job of providing reflections on our our day to day attitudes, open communication (with and without words ) and supporting our objective of “continuously cultivating our culture together .The experience of building the hands was deeply emotional and humbling for all. Each one of us can truly make a difference and having the opportunity to make such a life changing impact on another’s life is invaluable to our team. Thank you again for strengthening our team’s relationships, bringing value to life and making a difference for our team and beyond!"

"Since quality time together as a management team is difficult to come by, it was not easy to convince everyone that spending an afternoon away from the tactical necessities of business planning would be well spent. By the end of the afternoon, however, and even still today (3 months later), our team unanimously voted the 3 hours with Odyssey was the most beneficial part of the meeting."
