STARTING THE DAY OFF RIGHT

YTB TAKE ON MT. BULLY 

Committed to fostering holistic well-being and innovative thinking, the YTB Plumbing team recently embarked on a unique and invigorating venture. Our morning toolbox training meeting took on a breathtaking twist as we ventured to the summit of Mount Bully, overlooking the picturesque Gold Coast.

The day began early, with our dedicated team members hitting the trail at 6 a.m. We hiked a challenging 6-kilometer route, ascending an impressive 500 meters in elevation. Our goal was to convene at this extraordinary location for our monthly debrief, a special gathering that allows us to reflect on our collective journey.

During this gathering, we delved into various aspects of our professional lives. We celebrated our victories, confronted the challenges we faced, shared valuable lessons we had learned, and enjoyed some hearty laughter together. It was a time for us to discuss our plans for the future, offering insights and ideas to propel the company forward.

However, this event was not just about work; it was about fostering a sense of unity and well-being within the team. As we looked out over the stunning 360-degree views, we found inspiration in the beauty of nature itself. We exchanged encouraging words, recognising how far each member had come and acknowledging our collective achievements.

After our discussion, we made our way down to Burleigh headland, where we had a breakfast BBQ. Here, in a more relaxed setting, I had the opportunity to share a valuable lesson with the team: "If you can give a little, then you give a little." This motto emphasises the importance of collaboration and contributing to the team effort.

It was a powerful reminder of how we can make our training sessions more interactive and engaging, extending beyond the confines of a standard toolbox meeting on site or at our warehouse.

In summary, our journey up Mount Bully was not just a physical adventure but a testament to our commitment to mental and physical health, as well as our dedication to thinking outside the box. It was a memorable day that left us not only with a stronger sense of camaraderie but also with a renewed sense of purpose as we continue to excel in our plumbing endeavours.
