Philanthropic Team Building

Program length
Four hour to two-day formats. The more participants, the more bikes -- the more bikes, the more children and the greater the impact.

However, by creating a Bikes For Tykes Organization in their local community, hundreds to thousands of bicycles will be given away, not just the ones they built. Also, participants will have the opportunity to continue this program however they desire.

Where can we run Bikes For Tykes?
We can design programs that are conducted on-site, at a conference facility or just about anywhere you are or want to be!

The typical setup is in a conference room of a hotel or meeting center.

Who benefits from Bikes For Tykes?
We have tailorable curriculum specifically designed for:

Senior Executives
Almost every situation with senior executives must be carefully constructed to reflect specific situations they are facing. Every executive team is different and so their event must be different.

It is truly a privilege to provide events for all groups and that is especially true for executives as they have so much influence on the workplace. Bringing this kind of experience can be transformational to entire workplaces as well as the executive team itself.

Managers
Managing has never been more difficult. Keeping an eye on the business goals and their own numbers has, in many organizations, created too many 'silos' and the overall goal of the company is simply not taken into consideration.

Additionally, many managers lose focus on what is happening within their department or group that may be hindering the effectiveness of the employees.

Sales Groups
Most successful sales people are very close to their customers. However, sales people, especially good ones, begin to form 'tunnel vision' and apply solutions to customers without listening to the customer or putting themselves in their customers shoes.

Customer Service
It is easy to lose the focus on customers and what they face on a daily basis. Even good customer service representatives get bogged down in the day-to-day grind and sometimes forget to treat every customer with the normal excellence.

The curriculum designed for this event will help customer service representatives keep the focus on the customer and have a memorable metaphor to re-center themselves.

Technical Service Groups
Service Technicians are generally an under-appreciated group, or at least, that is their perception. The most common thought is that basically they are all on their own and work alone.

The curriculum based around Service Technicians helps them see they truly are part of a larger 'team' that has goals beyond what each one of them must accomplish by themselves.

Cross-Functional Teams or Groups
These temporary teams must get up to speed as quickly as possible. Helping them create trust and open communication without ego is the most important step the group must take.

After trust and good communication is created, the productivity of the group skyrockets as well as awe-inspiring brain-storming sessions and creative solutions to difficult problems on typically boring subjects -- paperwork flow, for example.

The energy and excitement comes from being part of a great team, not the subject of the team. This event provides an amazing kickoff to the group's formation.

Creativity and Innovation
We have designed specific curriculum for creativity that applies to almost every group.

'Thinking outside the box' is very easy to say and very difficult to do. And most of us feel we are thinking outside the box. The reality is that we all have our own version of tunnel vision and until you recognize when you are using it, your tunnel vision will hinder your own creativity.

About Bikes For Tykes
We have partnered with the original Bikes for Tykes organization, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, that began from a single thought in Naples, FL in 1987 -- make a child's wish come true of owning a bicycle.

With a mission to give bicycles to children who would otherwise not own one, Bikes for Tykes refurbishes old bicycles and provides them to children from local communities.

Since 1987, Bikes For Tykes has established itself in over 120 communities throughout the US and Canada.

Through our program, you not only are able to give bicycles away to underprivileged children, you can start a new Bikes For Tykes in the local community. This means your group is not giving away a few bicycles, your group is giving away thousands!

You can see more about the Bikes For Tykes organization on their website, www.BikesForTykes.org.
