We at Butterfly Studio are constantly looking to improve ourselves. We always set up an annual outing that will offer us a new experience and leave us feeling inspired. This year I chose to take the team to the Trapeze School of New York. There were feelings of excitement and fear.
I shared with my team that when you overcome your fears and get out of your comfort zone, you can discover something new about yourself; as well as an inner strength that you didn’t know you had. This can applied to any aspect of your life, which is why I made the decision to bring the team to trapeze school. It was the perfect opportunity to try something new, face challenges, and build further trust within the team.
That day were we faced with challenging and very exciting activities. Everyone put all of their effort towards each task. Some of the more challenging activities were back flipping on the trampoline and walking the tight rope. I would say the most challenging of all was climbing up the 23ft. high ladder, holding on to a bar overlooking the entire school and knowing that you are about to leap into the air. The one thing that gave everyone confidence was hearing the team below cheering you on and shouting words of encouragement.
I was so proud of my team. Everyone did it! By the end of the day we had all conquered our fears, had an amazing time and it brought our team closer together. We realized that in order to be successful, it truly takes team effort and dedication to make it all happen.
