What an explosive five days Grant, Lorraine, Roy, Erin and I had in Tropical Cairns. Wearing the crown proud we flew north to represent the kingdom in a world series first. It was called the X-Venture Corporate Challenge. This saw us compete against 13 other big named companies like Pauls, Nivea & Quicksilver just to name a few. Over four consecutive days we tested our minds, bodies and team spirit in an amazing eight, not to mention very different challenges, whereby the winning team would get to present a cheque of $50,000 to Steve Waugh Foundation.
These challenges encompassed everything from physical ability to creativity, all under a high pressured environment, but more importantly were designed to test the strengths and weaknesses of teams. It was an experience of a lifetime and memories we'll all hold dear. Put aside the goal of winning, the lessons learnt from this wonderful journey, were ones we can take back and put into practice both professionally and personally.
Stay tuned for updates as this will be televised later on this year on ONE HD and SKY Business News.
