Sunglass Hut Team Build/ Conference 09

Have you ever tried GIANT FOOSBALL?!



It’s the latest trend in teambuilding activities.
I recently attended the Sunglass Hut sales and marketing conference at the Erinvale hotel out in Stellenbosch.
This conference was great, fun filled and innovative!
Management teams from the various sectors of the business were expected to present their strategies for 2010- and the use of POWERPOINT was not allowed, this created a fun and interesting atmosphere- have you ever seen the Operational team of a business dress up as chefs cooking a dish called 2010 using their strategy as the ingredients? Marketing causing the usual havoc- made everyone from the GM to the site manager create fun and trendy paintings using sunglasses as the paintbrush, procurement team creates a video and ever seen HR objectives communicated by means of a soccer match? The Sunglass Hut management teams made it happen in a FUN, SEXY, SAVVY, REAL AND INSPIRING way. Giant Foosball was the start of a conference to remember!


Presentations, awards, dinners, laughs- and a motivational speaker! The lesson learnt- DON’T EVER FORGET TO BE AWESOME!!!
… Robin Banks tells a story of a young down syndrome he once met at a shopping mall, after a conversation which lasted for about 5 minutes, the young down syndrome bids farewell and walks off, the boy turned back after his second step and said, “Hey Robin, have a good day…AND…DON’T FORGET TO BE AWESOME!!” Does that not make you want to be awesome, this young down syndrome reminds Robin who is perfectly normal to be AWESOME!
