The Team Building Team

In this series of articles, we take five minutes to chat with a member of the TeamBonding team so you can get an idea of what sort of people we are.

In this installment, we talked to Shirelle,  about her favorite TeamBonding experience, her superpowers, and more.

What is your favorite part of working for TeamBonding?
I get to meet great people and use my gifts and talents to put smiles on employees’ faces! If I’m facilitating an event that has a charity component, the appreciation from the non-profit is heartfelt. Also, who wouldn’t want to get paid to add some fun and play to another person’s workday?

If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be?
One of the movies I’ve written.

If you could take only three items with you on a deserted island, what would they be?
A phone, a computer, and vitamins.

If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go?
Abu Dhabi

What is your favorite food? (If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?)
A really good salad, with pizza and a Maryland crab cake on top of it.

What is the name of your favorite restaurant? Where is it located?
Longhorn Steakhouse – Maryland

If you could choose one superpower, what would it be and why?
To eat anything and remain healthy and not gain weight.

If you could time travel, would you go to the past or the future?
Future

What is your favorite four-legged creature and why?
My relative’s dog named Bronzie. When I visit we have a great time then I go home, so it’s like I have a pet that I don’t have to take care of.

If you could invite three famous, historical leaders to dinner, who would you invite and what food would you eat?
Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama and Harriet Tubman. Steak and Lobster
