It was a Wednesday afternoon in September and a group of seven people (out of eight) met together for the first time. We have been talking on Zoom for about six months and it was quite funny seeing friendly faces in person.
The team building started with coffee and drinks to start the afternoon and continued with, let’s say a friendly competition on the carting track. We started with a test run, before which we were all pretty sure that we will qualify for the fastest drivers, but only one of us was so successful for the first time. In the second round the adrenalin really kicked in and we started racing like it was the Formula 1 championship.
After we took down our sweaty ski like under helmet caps we went for some real drinks and started with icebreaker games. Our assistant/team building leader beforehand asked each one of us to tell her what is a funny/random/strange thing nobody knows about us. We found out who likes American football, wanted to build a submarine, was the class president in the 6th grade and so on. We also had a little surprise and we all got awesome matchy windstoppers (you can see how cool they are on our group photo). At that point we were quite hungry so we went for a bite. Deciding what to get took quite some time, because our discussions always kept interrupting us and we changed our minds five times, as each time we wanted to order, the restaurant didn’t have that anymore. Throughout the evening there wasn’t much quiet time, we heard a lot of crazy stories and gave each other quite different views which for sure gave us something to think about when we came home.
