On our recent TOMS company retreat, we took a creative route to getting to know each other. We were given a list of facts that each matched up with one of our co-workers. Our mission? To have a lot of conversations about a lot of random topics with each other to try and decipher who fit with what fact.

Turns out I didn’t know as much about these people as I thought- what an interesting, strange, funny, intriguing, off-beat crew!

Can you figure out which fact belongs to our HR Director? Director of Online Marketing? One of our graphic designers? One of our managers? Our special events coordinator?

“I applied to work for the CIA. Was offered a position and turned the job down.”

“I got lost in the woods for 3.5 days when I was 9 years old.”

“I was on the junior olympic figure skating team in England as a child.”

“”I once won a Spice Girls costume contest.”

“On the spur of the moment, decided to tag along on a last minute motorcycle trip up the coast from LA to San Fran with a group of non English speaking acquaintances whom I just met 2 days prior through a mutual friend. Had less than 12 hours to pack and find a helmet and camping gear. Neither individual spoke English and I didn’t speak a word of German. Camped under the stars for 3 nights and rode on the back of a motorcycle for 4 days.”

With that set of talent and spontaneity, we’re destined to achieve great things….
