Welcome to Odyssey Teamsnotobella-admin2021-08-10T22:49:00+00:00 Teambuilding Grew UpTeambuilding Grew UpThirty years ago, we began building world-class leaders and teams. By 2000, Odyssey created the first ever charitable team building program of building bicycles for children with the Life Cycles program. A purpose-driven experience and business simulation that could build individuals, together vs ‘teambuilding’ was a radical idea. The distinction changed everything. Our clients, executives and their teams from the world’s largest organizations, were building real products for real customers. Collaboration, customer-centricity, quality, teamwork, purpose, and other core-values came to life – and changed lives at the same time. This was the inspiration and tipping point for CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). Odyssey continued to push the boundaries of learning and development. In 2008 the Build-a-Hand (Helping Hands) program was created when Lain Hensley caught the vision to teach complex problem solving, collaboration and team purpose through building prosthetic hands for amputees around the world. 60,000 amputees in over 80 countries have received this life-changing gift as a result. Since the Spring of 2020, innovation has never been more important or urgent to Odyssey and their clients. Being connected virtually does not necessarily lead to authentic connection, productivity, engagement or personal well-being. While you might have searched for ‘virtual teambuilding’, Odyssey continues to build individuals, together with a focus on changing lives, changing business, and changing the world. If it s your first time working with Odyssey, we will help you understand this important distinction so you can bring the most relevant, memorable and engaging experience to your people, team, business and community.0years changing lives0bicycles donated0prosthetic hands donated0delighted client-organizationsFEATURED CLIENT FAVORITESSchedule a FREE Program DemoLearn MoreThe Build-a-Hand program has been a client favorite since its inception in 2008.

The program that Odyssey Teams has developed is by far the most memorable, fulfilling, and moving “teambuilding” experience we have participated in” Brandy L Szever, Event Planner, Conference Event Planning, Vanguard “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!" Chad Czerniak, Senior NetApp Marketing Manager, Arrow Electronics “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 “So many employees have approached to say how moved they were by by the bike build. It was such a positive lesson on working together and asking for help. The afternoon left a mark on everyone who participated in such a positive way.” Cindy Silva, Executive Assistant to Beth Cross, CEO, Ariat International Inc. “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 “Odyssey Teams touched our team members, and our team members are taking that feeling and making positive action.” Gretchen Chismar, US Payroll Manager, Honeywell “We really had an opportunity to know each other better and to have some fun together in a way that increases our commitment to work together effectively. But the biggest payoff of all was the combined feeling of having accomplished something with such an impact to people around the world.” Jean E. Deering, AVP Learning Development Manager, BD/SBS L D, Wells Fargo “Odyssey Teams touched 970 people who are at an impressionable point in their lives. I’m confident that the wisdom and emotion Odyssey shared will positively impact their entire careers.” Jenna Ballestrino, Director, Microsoft Academy for College Hires (MACH) “Our team unanimously voted the 3 hours with Odyssey Teams was the most beneficial part of our entire meeting.” Julie C., VP, Partner Industry Relations, BCD Meeting Incentives “The Helping Hands event structure + the personal connection to the prosthetic hands have left a lasting impression on our team. Many people still reference the event 90 days later.” Megan A. Westman, Organization Talent Development Leader, GE Lighting “While being a true help for others, the Odyssey Teams program incorporated important elements of leadership and teamwork that enlightened our own team members.” Melissa Hoang, GE Lighting “Mission accomplished! The Odyssey Teams session exceeded every expectation I had. It created a unity with our teams and connected people in meaningful and thought-provoking inner-soul searching ways.” Michelle Stokes, Merck “Odyssey Teams wowed everyone. Feedback from executives to new team members has been phenomenal and the lessons learned will be lasting.” Ralph S.
