Team Building & Leadership Retreat

Monday, August 03, 2009
We have a Leadership Retreat in our office twice each year... one at the beginning of the fiscal year to set goals, and one mid way through the fiscal year to evaluate where we are at and to have some training/professional development. Today we deviated a bit from the norm. In addition to setting office goals, we also had a team building component to the retreat - we went bowling! I decided I should have brushed up on my bowling skills over the last few weeks :-) I definitely had the most gutter balls of anyone, but a few lucky frames in each game saved me. I ended up with 123 my first game and 113 my second game... not great, but not as bad as it could have been! I even ended on a high note - I got a strike on the 10th frame of my second game, and ended up getting a turkey! I had to get a "shoe shot". I also loved how we ended up with a bunch of blue and orange balls (at least in the beginning)... how appropriate!
The afternoon ended at my house with a review of last year's goals and setting new ones. It was fun to see what we accomplished over the last year, and it was exciting to see some of the fun projects we hope to accomplish this year. Here's to a productive year!
