Sharing My Workplay

I had a very interesting day today at work...or was it work....or was it fun....or is work suppose to be fun....or is fun suppose to be work? Well...I have come to the conclusion that it was a fun, exciting, and impacting day that was considered a work day but it was a labor of love.

We have monthly leadership retreats or "academy" as they refer to it. I think it is more of a retreat as we get to stop the hectic pace of our normal days to chill in jeans, eat good food, relax in a cabin out in nature, and to grow together as a group which just happens to have a common bond which is our work. Today was extraordinary. We were divided into groups and sent off on a scavenger hunt with a list that Mission Impossible would have been proud of. All of the items to find were connected with what our company is all about but with finding all of the items, we met, talked with, encountered, laughed, worked together as a team, and really focused on our mission. We are customer focused and we proved how focused we were by how we attacked each element of our list.

I felt good about my team, our presentation, of our 100% involvement to our tasks and what we took away from the day.

I really felt a lot of pride today and accomplishment. It is a great day to be with a great company that has great people to share my life with daily.
