At a recent management training, our facilitator used the Survivor TV show as our theme for the week, complete with opportunities to be challenged in groups. While TV shows are often used to bring some life to various meetings, not being familiar with Survivor, I was not sure I cared for the idea of doing some unknown activity with a group of peers to win a Moon Pie.
However, I've learned that despite my initial tendency to want to sit on the sideline, you can have much more fun being part of the game and cheering others on. After all, it's not who wins but how you play the game that counts. This is true in game participation, work and life in general. It all starts with your attitude.
We can choose to be unhappy and irritating or we can find a bright spot even in a game that gets us way outside our comfort zone and just focus on that. That in itself can be the greatest challenge!
