The Guys and Dolls Team Event is a brainy, challenging, program where your group is divided into teams to solve specific challenges in order to build Dollhouses for children who have, or have a sibling who has, a terminal disease. This program is specifically designed for smaller groups of 5 to 25 people. For larger groups, please visit our Build-A-Bike Team Building program.

Each team is given puzzles to solve, codes to decipher, and secrets to unlock in order to acquire the resources needed (part by part) to build their Dollhouse. Challenges are discovered along the way that must be overcome in order to accomplish their goal.

During your half-day or full-day event, you'll engage both your minds and your bodies in solving the puzzles of teamwork.

We'll cover ways to:

• Brainstorm.
• Problem-solve.
• Communicate better as a team.
• Identify strengths of individual team members.
• Collaborate better as a team.
• Realize that departments and individuals within a company can't act independently of their coworkers. When the team works together, they accomplish a lot more.
• And have tons of fun in the process.

Tuition for this program includes all materials, dollhouses, and instructor travel expenses.

• 5 to 30 People: $3,000 plus materials and instructor travel.
• For groups of 31 or more people, click here.

Additional charges may apply for travel outside the US. Shorter versions can be tailored for annual meetings and conventions. Full day versions with a combination of Guys-N-Dolls and Creating a Team Culture are also available for an additional $2,000.

Suggested Agenda

This workshop is designed to be 3.5-hours long, but can be tailored to fit specific time frames.

• Icebreaker: Team members learn about each other and themselves in a fast-paced free-for-all designed to organize your team into smaller groups.
• Instructions and ground rules are offered by our facilitator.
• A few warm-up challenges are presented to the whole group that are designed to get the group thinking about how to sharpen communication and camaraderie.
• A challenge course requiring communication, patience, and teamwork is introduced. Groups begin to acquire the necessary materials and tools to build their dollhouses. Challenges that require collaboration between small groups begin to appear.
• Groups must discover that in order to succeed, they are not competing with each other, but instead are competing against scarce resources, just like at the office.
• At the conclusion, groups present their Dollhouse to a representative from a local charity. Our preferred charities are Ronald McDonald House and Make-A-Wish, but if your organization has another organization in mind, we'll be happy to work with them as well. The Leader's Institute will also match a monetary donation from your organization up to $250.
