Shawn Nabil and I are flying home today after being on an
executive team building retreat for the past 2 weeks in the British Virgin
Islands. Although entirely my idea, the guys jumped at the chance to build on
our strong management team camaraderie and exercise our core values of living a
remarkable life.
I know it will be hard for people to believe we could
actually do any work in this environment, but it really is an amazing experience
to live in close quarters and manage all the duties and responsibilities of
cooking, planning and sailing a large boat together. Tasks like anchoring or
pulling the sails takes team work and we couldn't help but come out of the
experience as a well oiled management machine, relaxed, in sync, and raring to
blast off when we get back.
I would love to take other staff on similar team building
adventures in the future. Nabil and I have contacts in Africa who drill water
wells and build schools and are looking into December 2013 as a possible trip
date for 4-6 staff or possibly customers too. Anyone interested in expanding
their remarkable life experiences??
Cheers
Calvin
