Hard Things

John Jarvis on August 11, 2021

I have been talking a lot with our brokers here at Hughes Marino about getting out on wilderness adventures as a team. For my part, I typically have one or two trips on the calendar at any given time, either with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) or Cairn Leadership Strategies. The NOLS Alumni trips are a week long, but Cairn packs most of their adventures into weekend getaways, which got me thinking–we could sign up for these weekend Cairn adventures with each of our offices. Wouldn’t that be great for team building, each office doing a different trip, and as a company we would have all these different but common experiences that we could talk about and share and compare notes. Yeah, let’s do it! Except, many of our team members have young families, and it can be really challenging to get away for a weekend with your workmates. I totally get that. What to do?
