Extreme Corporate Bonding

Yes, everyone in this room will die - at some point. But before then they'll face important choices about where to work, what to believe in. Choices, really, about change and ultimately happiness. "Are you doing what you want to do in your life? Or are you just blowing through?" Watkins continues. "I'm challenging your life right now. What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? Would you take a trip around the world? Run a company? If you're not doing what you want, that's where I want you to go. This week is about you doing what you want to do for every week of the rest of your life."

That's how the CEO of Seagate started a pep rally to the 200 staff who were at a Leadership Development Program in NZ recently. Set in 'Lord of the Rings' territory, The $2million Eco Seagate Program forces the company's techies to get out of their comfort zones.
R was one of the participants in this year's Eco-Seagate. Wonder if he's inspired after this extreme program.. must interview him when we next meet. :P
