I just got back from Danbury, Connecticut where I was doing a corporate team building event with Smiths Detection. Smiths Detection, a company that develops Emergency Responders and handles Military inquiries for hand-held chemical and biological detection and identification devices, were getting ready to close their year and wanting to give back this holiday season, just completed a fun and interactive team building event, build-a-bike.  With  80 of their Danbury employees, it was a race to the finish.  Smiths Detection, seeing that although friendly competition can make for increased energy and fun, quickly realized that it was only through sharing information and collaborating, that they could meet their goals of building 16 bikes for kids.   After building the bicycles Smiths Detection, personally delivered 10 bikes to their local Boys and Girls Club and six bikes to Connecticut Children’s Place.  Smiths Detection did a great job of building community and unity with this brainy team building event.
