TeamTime Odyssey: Now is the Time!

TeamTime Odyssey: Time to Build Virtual Teams

TeamTime Odyssey is a series of six, fast-paced, one-hour sessions to help build a more vibrant and virtual team; a more adaptive, aligned and ambitious team; a more resilient and ready team.

That’s a lot of catchy wordsmithing to promise. But we’ve been practicing for decades and are able to fulfill it. If you are seeing and understanding the value of human connection more than any other time, then TeamTime Odyssey is for you. It’s your team. It’s definitely time.

TeamTime Odyssey: Generating Powerful Conversations

TeamTime Odyssey provides your team an opportunity to learn more from each other than from us. Our job in all our programs is to give you something to think about, something to do and something to feel with the ultimate aim of generating powerful, intentional, authentic and creative conversations.

More About TeamTime Odyssey

TeamTime Odyssey began as an internal process for our team to better navigate the ambiguity of change as our company becomes increasingly virtual. The design is based on our facilitator’s 100+ years experience. TeamTime Odyssey focuses on the curriculum that translates well virtually and guides your group through four core modules and two electives in a weekly six-part series.

Each session will focus on a different topic that you customize with your Odyssey Teams keynote facilitator. You’ll be in on the program design and able to customize the final two targets. Some of the topics include:

The Art of Teaming
Choice / Moods
New Distinctions in Trust
Responsibility & Accountability
Perspectives Fact vs. Fiction
Accountable Conversations

“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.”

Christine Stout, Premier Retail Network

“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.”

Elana McFann, United Healthcare
