Team Leadership: Away from the office

The ultimate company off-site: Extreme team building.

For the past 5 years, I have organized and led a company wide team building exercise – based on pushing the physical and mental boundaries of our group.  I believe that a cohesive team can achieve amazing goals when they learn to trust and  rely on each other in a challenging environment.  A solid team effort out in the ‘battlefield’ will translate to a strong  team performance in the boardroom.

Last year at the 2013 Tough Mudder in Whistler, I led 8 colleagues through 20 grueling obstacles and 16km’s of  cross-country trails.  The result was a physically exhausting but very rewarding learning experience.  By supporting each other throughout the entire event, we finished as a united team.

As a 2015 UBC Sauder MBA candidate, I am already recruiting a team of my piers for the 2014 Tough Mudder. Stay tuned for an update next year.
