Connect Purpose to Performance with Life Cycles
Life Cycles is a transformative team building experience that connects your team’s daily work to the deeper purpose behind it—by building and donating bicycles to kids in need.
how lifecycles works
Teams move through hands-on challenges that build collaboration, problem-solving, and team connection. From creative construction challenges using limited resources to the final bicycle assembly under time constraints, each activity mirrors real workplace dynamics—limited tools, tight deadlines, diverse skills.
Throughout the experience, teams reflect on who their “customer” really is and what quality, integrity, and attention to detail mean when someone depends on their work. As they build bicycles together, they experience how their collaboration directly impacts others—just as it does in serving your actual customers.
Then Comes the Moment That Changes Everything…
After completing the bikes, kids who will receive them enter the room to accept their gifts in person. The abstract becomes real. The intellectual becomes emotional. Teams see firsthand how their effort, care, and collaboration create meaningful impact for real people.

who benefits
LifeCycles is designed for teams that want more than surface-level connection—it’s for groups ready to rediscover purpose together. Whether a team feels disconnected, complacent, or simply overdue for renewal, LifeCycles creates a powerful reset. Participants see how collaboration, communication, and shared accountability translate into real human outcomes, helping teams reconnect not just with each other, but with why their work matters in the first place.
Organizations seeking to reinforce core values and develop leaders find LifeCycles especially impactful. The program moves beyond abstract ideals, immersing teams in an experience where integrity, excellence, empathy, and leadership are lived—not just discussed. Team members step into leadership moments, make decisions together, and witness the ripple effects of their actions, strengthening trust and alignment while building skills that carry directly back into daily work.
Transformative, purposeful, and unforgettable, LifeCycles resonates with teams who want meaningful team building with community impact. By connecting everyday roles to a larger mission, the experience leaves participants with a shared story, renewed pride, and a deeper understanding of how their collective effort can change lives. Teams don’t just walk away closer—they walk away changed, with a lasting sense of purpose that fuels performance long after the program ends.
