At the end of the day, life is all about being a teammate. Every day, in some way, chances are that you will interact in some way with another person. Some teams have a stronger bond, such as family, partners, best friends, spouses, and so on. We play for other teams to make money. Some teams we are a part of for a lifetime, while others only a day, an hour, or even as short as a minute. You see, I like to think of humanity as one giant team. If you get the chance, take a moment and check out this Pep Talk from Kid President. He states it best when he says, "If life is a game, aren't we all on the same team?"Anyway, we spent the afternoon working with Wild Rose on some of the major aspects of being a good teammate - listening, communication, cooperation, trust, as well as a few others. At times, the atmosphere was light-hearted, fun, while at other times it was more serious. We had smaller teams 'compete' in 2 activities (Tarp Downsizing and Minefield) and discussed the purpose and point of each activity as well as its relevance to the workplace afterwards.
