The following is an email that I sent out to my dental colleagues waaaay back in June 2007 - 4 years ago! Check this out:
"In lieu of our weekly staff meeting, I asked my team to participate in a little team-building activity.
I asked them to change into some comfortable clothing and to meet me in the little gymnasium we have at our office. To their surprise I entered, dressed in my Hapkido uniform.
The message from today's exercise was: Smash through all your old beliefs, and achieve the unbelievable!
The piece of inch-and-a-half thick pine board was a symbol of what we used to believe. These beliefs may have been given to us by others, but most of all they can hold us back from achieving our own dreams.
First, a demonstration of board breaking from yours truly, set the scene for what was to follow. Some warmup exercises and technique instruction was then given to my team; and on to the smashing!
If this was a Batman episode, you would've seen "Keeerrrash!!!" in big bold letters flashing across your screen three times, as each of the team members bashed through their boards with a well-placed (and I'll add, well-instructed) elbow strike.
The first photo shows our team with our game faces on.
The second photo shows the joy in triumph.
I hope my team learnt something today, but most of all, I think we had some fun."
Aaah 2007!
- John Howard ran the country; Morris Iemma ran NSW.
- Happy Feet was big @ the movies; Kath and Kim was huge on TV
- Number one single was "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie
- PS 3 was released (which I only bought last month - shows how behind the times I am!)
- We found out that horses can get the flu as well.
How far have YOU come in 2011? Are you still holding on to stuff you believed in 2007? Let go, smash through!
