Team Re-Building During Change

Change always creates energy.

Channel it into team building strategies, and it will power up teams to new heights of performance.

Applications for Our Team Building Events

Incentive . A powerful morale booster to reward or launch aggressive sales targets and business initiatives.

Celebration . Spice up annual conferences, board retreats, association meetings. A great “marketing” feature that will motivate more people to attend your meeting.

Bonding . Help team members forget past personal differences and bring new hires closer together fast. Bring out the best in your team or department by working with each other in a different environment.

Icebreaker . A great way to break down barriers when team members don’t know each another very well.

The Amazing Race

There are no "eliminations." In fact, this talent retention event is designed to help organizations keep their people "in the race.

The format has been re-invented to work with groups of all sizes, from a dozen people to hundreds of participants. There are unlimited possibilities to customize an event that meets most organizational time and budget restraints. It can be held at resorts and retreats, as well as within your local neighborhood.

This team builder can be conducted outdoors and off-site, or we have designs that can be used within your facilities. It can even incorporate poor weather conditions as part of the challenges. However, based on your locale, there are many creative ways to structure an event to avoid adverse weather conditions, such as utilizing a subway system or a large shopping facility.

So You Think You Can Dance!

One of our most recent additions to our suite of reality-themed team building events.

Our version minimizes the typical discomfort that people often have with the notion of doing a "dance recital" in front of their peers. We have re-invented this TV format to give you lots of options to ensure the session will be enjoyed by your people, but that will also deliver some solid team building outcomes so your executives can see a return on their investment.

The components include a professional choreographer/dance instructor, but with a twist that makes all the difference for participants who might normally resist this type of session. Then we added in a "surprise" judging element that will have your people talking about this event for weeks afterwards!

The Apprentice

First, there is no "You're Fired!" In fact, this talent retention event is designed to help organizations keep their people "more hired."

Templates and flexible core components can be quickly and easily modified to create an event that follows the TV format, but also meets your specific objectives and organizational culture. You can incorporate an educational component to address participant skill needs. Once we have an understanding of the context for your event, we offer a series of choices from which you can create a program that will energize and recharge teams. You may choose to arrange the facilities and venue yourselves, or use our professional event planning service.

Survivor

Again, no one gets voted off ... this event is designed to "keep talent on the island (in the organization)." Our Beyond Surviving theme is used for both team building events as well as in our regular workshops.

As a team building session, it can be delivered both indoors and outdoors, even incorporating poor weather conditions as part of the "Reward Challenges." There are unlimited possibilities to customize an event that meets most organizational time and budget restraints. We can offer a full "start to finish" professional event planning service as an option for retreats & off-site meetings; or, you can arrange your own facilities and venue. Your choice.

Millionaire

We have re-invented the scoring system to be team-based, and no one knows who is winning until the very end of the game.

A great ice-breaker for a conference or retreat, or a fun way to deliver key facts and information that participants are sure to remember. Ideal when you have a tight agenda, but still want to include an out-of-the-box team builder. Can be delivered in very compressed formats, from one to three hours.

Questions can serve as lead-in topics for almost any educational content, or they can serve as humorous “little known facts” about participants .... or a combination of both!

Deal or No Deal

Our version includes opportunities for teams to win by being "lucky" in selecting the right case at the right time. We also include opportunities for teams to win by leveraging the collective knowledge of team. Teams take turns being the Banker, Producer, and Contestant.

Our "Beyond" version can easily be customized to incorporate solid educational components to focus on leadership, teamwork and a wide range of management/employee initiatives that meet your organization’s current strategic direction. Or, it can be designed for just basic entertainment and fun.

Key training and development programs critical to support team building during today's stressful times:

There are three guarantees about change:

Change will never stop. It will absolutely accelerate and become more complex than ever.
Change is never problem-free and stress will always accompany even minor change.
Each of us must be accountable. No matter what level in the organization.

Beyond Change™ gives you talent retention and team building strategies to move beyond just surviving, to actually discover ways to thrive during uncertain times … by finding the new opportunities that change always brings.

Beyond Change

Careers are not working the way they used to. And same-old career development is not working, either, for successful talent retention.

Magnificently designed career and talent retention options can be dead in the water overnight. Endless spread-sheet action plans that took forever to write are obsolete even before they're half-finished. Cherished skills vaporize before your eyes.

Beyond Careers™ provides "sound-byte" talent retention and team building tools & just-in-time processes to keep careers on track in an ever-shifting landscape.
