Let’s Circle Back

The company approved the team-building budget. One destination each, then we pick one together. Disneyland. Dreams, castles, fireworks. Done. My dream is sleeping. I vote anywhere. Great teams bind through shared discomfort. So please, somebody pick somewhere awful. Hawaii. Ocean waves reorganize strategic thinking. A productivity book said so, probably. Italy. Old architecture, quiet streets, no trust falls. Amazon rainforest. Extreme bonding, real survival. That's exactly from a video I watched. Then we have aligned leadership instincts. Disneyland has a castle. Does Hawaii have a castle? Hawaii has volcanoes. Italy has 2,000 years of history. Amazon has survival. That is extreme. While you argue, tickets are getting more expensive. We missed booking deadlines for every option. We argued for three weeks. So where do we go? HR approved a wellness eco park 20 minutes away. And the team-building activity? Lakeside picnic. Just like the Maldives, minus the Maldives part. We had Hawaii, Italy, South America, Disneyland. Now we have a lake with fake ducks.
