\"heart-583895_1920\"<\/a>In my last blog, I wrote about traveling to Las Vegas to attend the NSFOCUS International Business Division (IBD), 2016 Sales Kickoff.\u00a0 The event was a complete success and I had an opportunity to spend four days with some of the smartest and most successful individuals in our industry.\u00a0\u00a0 People from all over the world attended, and I have never seen such a mix of nationalities and cultures represented in our meetings and dinners.\u00a0 During the event, I witnessed the most kindhearted act of my career.<\/p>\n

On the third evening of the event, the entire executive management team, the product management team, and the global sales teams attended a \u201cteam-building\u201d session.\u00a0 It was unlike any other session I have participated in my 25 years in our industry, and left me with a lasting impression of The Heart of NSFOCUS.<\/p>\n

The 48 of us were randomly divided into six teams. On each table there were two disassembled children\u2019s bicycles\u00a0 Our job was to assemble the bicycles.\u00a0 \u00a0To win the parts needed, each team had to go through a series of contests against the other teams. We were told that the bicycles would be delivered to needy children the next day.<\/p>\n

The first contest involved a very large rubber band.\u00a0 Two members of the team held the rubber band, and each team member had to move their body completely through it without touching it.\u00a0 Our team won this event in less than 25 seconds.\u00a0 Once this contest was over, one team representative would move to the front of the room where they retrieved wheels for the disassembled bikes.\u00a0 We replaced the missing wheels in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

The following contests consisted of word games, building a tower out of spaghetti with tape, a hula-hoop contest, and building a pyramid out of cups.\u00a0\u00a0 After each contest, the teams would send a representative to the front of the room to get the parts needed for the bicycles.\u00a0 Writing a short rap song about each team\u2019s name and presenting it to the group was the last contest.\u00a0 We definitely obtained a few picture moments from this!<\/p>\n

At this point, the bicycles were fully reassembled and ready to ride.\u00a0\u00a0 Then the organizers of the event, (A New Team Adventure) told us that several members of our team were late, so we should open the doors to let them enter.\u00a0 When we did so, 12 children from local families in need entered the room with their parents – many single moms and dads.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The children and their parents had no idea why they were invited to this event.<\/p>\n

Once the children learned that the bicycles were gifts from NSFOCUS and all of us, you should have seen the looks on their faces.\u00a0 The smiles, the tears, the hugs, and the handshakes were enough to warm even a Scrooge\u2019s heart.\u00a0\u00a0 One father told me his son\u2019s bicycle was stolen on Christmas Eve, and another parent told me we renewed his faith in humanity.\u00a0\u00a0 After wiping our teary eyes, we all stood for a group picture.\u00a0 All of the teams were in the back of the photo, while the children with their new bicycles stood in the front.<\/p>\n

\"mmexport1453005296226\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was single-handedly the most remarkable expression of unconditional giving to those in need.\u00a0 I had a front row seat to witness it all.\u00a0 Sharing with those in need is the essence of The Heart of NSFOCUS.<\/p>\n
