I think people are turned off oftentimes by traditional team building experiences because the end result is too obvious. I like this approach because it is engaging without pandering to those involved.

Hi Jen and Jesse, thanks for your comments.

Jen, this was indeed one of those cool “connections” that keeps me inspired and positive about what I do – or, to put it another way, they are the liquid that keeps my glass half-full.

Jesse, great analogy – that mental picture of a big Mac truck is an imposing one. No wonder coming up with it wore you out!

All the best to you both.

That is dead on. It’s plain in the business world when you look at the energy (like it or not) that Wal-Mart has in the market. They are a big Mack truck with a lot of momentum. At the same time, it’s hard to make something that big turn fast to make adjustments.

A good team, though, will band together and make a mini-Mack and get tough things done and still be able to break out into fast-moving strategy sessions before linking back up again for some steamrolling.

That’s my analogy for the day, and I’m all worn out now.

Einstein is not just a scientist but also a philosopher. And I think each one of us possesses these same characters inside. Your analogy was simple and yet it hit right on the mark. What makes it even more wonderful is that the whole thing just came to you as you were talking with your colleagues.

Hi Maria and Mr. Biggs - thanks for stopping by!

Maria, you should read this book - I know you'll get a lot out of it.
And yes, if we could start our own service company it would be a darn good one, that's for sure!

Mr. Biggs, as I noted to Maria, get this book. It's utterly facinating.

All the best to you both.

Hi Terry!

What a great analogy You just reminded me that I need to get that book!

It wasn’t until recently that I got into physics myself – especially metaphysics.

Can you just imagine if we could get a room full of great customer service reps and start our own company!!??
