I am still without internet, so I am going to attempt this blog by iPhone tonight. Here it goes.
Much like Vegas, what happens in Whistler stays in Whistler...until I blog about it I guess. HA!
This weekend I joined my fellow BNI group, a network of business professionals and entrepreneurs, for a teambuilding extravaganza. It was FANTASTICALLY FUN! Not only was it my first time ever to Whistler, but also... who knew that a "business" meeting could be so awesome! THIS is the way business should be done - getting to know each other beyond our business suits and REALLY get to know the REAL person. People that work together and play together...stay together.
"Play" in the workplace is typically thought of as childish, inappropriate and immature but it is quite the opposite. "Play" is absolutely necessary. It is the glue that binds; it bonds people together, and it digs deeper than the professional face we put on. Play brings out our authentic selves, and it is from this place of authenticity and realness that others can relate and bond to. Magic tends to happen when we let our guards down and let others in.
...and I don't just mean in the business realm either. ;o)
And for the curious...I behaved. Mostly. ;)
