They going to remain on the surface of my memories for quite a long, probably forever!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key Executive Workshop @ MIT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Streebo leadership team make sure to meet at least once in a year in some part of the world with an idea of health check-up and to setup next milestones\u00a0<span class=\"wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-smile\" title=\":)\">\ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To take a high level glance at the direction, the speed, fuel, food, fitness level, team blah blah blah. One of the objective also is to catch up with each other\u2019s life, share experiences &amp; learn from each other.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier years, We clubbed it with T20 Cricket world cup in Srilanka, with scuba diving in Koh Samui, Thailand and with African wild life safari in Masai Mara, Kenya \u2013 Memorable experiences\u2026. All of them!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But 2014 was above and beyond \u2013 we clubbed it with the Key Executive Program in the campus of MIT \u2013\u00a0 Beat it !!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Three days\u2019 workshop with entrepreneurs &amp; executives from around the world, experienced &amp; skilful speakers. Collaborating for live case studies, fireside chit chatting and sharing experiences &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Without having such a brilliant platform, it is hard to get such an elite group of people under one umbrella.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>A group of<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>people who share one common vision of running their own show, their own ways \u2013 sharing their struggles, their ups &amp; downs, their successes &amp; failures \u2013 What worked, what didn\u2019t, when, how and how much \u2013 so much to learn !!!<\/strong>\u00a0Hard to beat that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-64\" src=\"http:\/\/www.streebo.com\/our-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Exposure-Streebo-Explores-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Exposure - Streebo Explores\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to create such vibe otherwise \u2013 The livelihood of the whole experience is pretty much unexplainable \u2013 but what I can surely tell is that there was a lot to bring back home \u2013 which is priceless and TAX Free for a change :))<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Strategy Meet 2015<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After 3 days of rigorous sessions at the MIT \u2013 It was 3 days of our Streebo\u2019s partner\u2019s meet, so from MIT campus, we chipped into a house at Marblehead, New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The weather by the way gets awesome, pretty much in the whole United States during this part of the year \u2013 The fall starts showering colors all around \u2013\u00a0 It makes Boston and the surroundings beautiful \u2013 I have never seen these manier shades of leaves, both sides of the road, throughout. The temperature remains pretty much friendly too, stays between 10 to 20 degrees \u2013 What more I have asked for, coming out from the consistent 35-40 degrees of Ahmedabad\u00a0<span class=\"wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-smile\" title=\":)\">\ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That makes it even better \u2013 Along with back to back sessions around the health-check of the organization &amp; the roadmap, it\u2019s an opportunity to connect with friends, colleagues &amp; mentors on a different ground \u2013 to play and compete, wine and dine, sharing experiences, exploring the world together and bond better \u2013 It\u2019s like reenergizing &amp; preparing for next rounds \u2013 Exciting isn\u2019t it ??<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Business is a passionate\u00a0game \u2013 It\u2019s a game of Ideas &amp; Belief. It\u2019s game of big hearts \u2013 You got to have balls to play it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But playing it with buddies and like-minded surroundings makes it much easier I feel. Every individual from top to bottom matters to win.\u00a0A group of like-minded people, sharing similar likes of belief, have higher probability to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not a seasoned entrepreneur by nature, But I\u2019m grateful to be part of such platform where I have an opportunity to work so close to all business functions \u2013 opportunity to pick and choose. What more I could have ask for ?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Passion is just a by-product, if you really enjoy what you do.\u00a0That\u2019s true for me and the leadership team @ Streebo is committed to make it real for all Streeboites. We are working to build an organization where everyone gets opportunities to pick and choose, take their own path, to grow in the direction they want to grow \u2013 where every individual is empowered enough to take their own decisions and run their own show.\u00a0We are mandated to create a factory of Entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Road Trip<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After this blessed experience of our strategy meet, It was THE road trip \u2013 the long awaited &amp; dreamed one.\u00a0 Sajid joined us at Boston and from there after it was just three of us, Usman, Sajid &amp; Myself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From New Hampshire to Boston, Cambridge, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington DC, Shenandoah Valley, Raleigh, Pensacola Iceland to Houston \u2013 round about 2600 Miles in 10 days, 13-15 states and about 7-8 cities \u2013 Meeting couple of dozens of partners\/customers and exploring the whole country \u2013 mixing up work with the fun trip \u2013 Woo hoooo!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We touched base most of the places which symbolizes these cities, states &amp; the country of United States \u2013 From greatest monuments to the massive architectures, from museums to the white house, from lakes, rivers &amp; falls to the white sand beaches, from beautiful roads to colorful mountains &amp; valleys, from streets to the campuses of MIT &amp; Harvard, universities which produce largest number of intellectuals every year, from meditation centres to party places.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From street food to, American Burgers, Thai, Persian, Sushi, Hibachi, Lebanese, Middle eastern, Steakhouses and what not \u2013 WE DID it ALL.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And imagine you doing it all with the best of your buddies \u2013 You dreamed it together since years, you talked about it all the time, you fantasized it quite a lot. You asked for it and you got it. Hard to believe but It was happening in real \u2013 Wooooo !!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trust me it was so very fulfilling \u2013 We couldn\u2019t have asked for more, three of us riding the beauty\u2026 (I meant the SUV\u2026.don\u2019t get wrong ideas..). Hitting the roads of United States, chilling around \u2013 doing whatever we wanted to do \u2013 Pulled over wherever we wanted, extended wherever we felt like, got out whenever we wished \u2013 We were well in control of the whole of the journey &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the fun part of it, It also allowed three of us to connect at different level. Although we know each other since couple of decades now, but travelling &amp; living for such long time was for the first time \u2013 We had all the time in the world to talk, discuss and bullshit around. The chemistry surely hit different highs &amp; lows of it. It provided an opportunity to learn &amp; explore new things about each other \u2013 at least a couple, if not too many.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Road trip was a completely different experience \u2013 you get a different vibe of places you visit, you got to meet and interact with locals, you are so close to them to understand their culture, their nature, their perspective, their actions and reactions in different situations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You are close to weather conditions, natural resources, infrastructure, overall system &amp; the society for that matter \u2013 You have an opportunity to experience &amp; learn more about their efficiency &amp; effectiveness \u2013 You probably can understand why they have reached where they are \u2013\u00a0<strong>You have an opportunity to pick the best of it \u2013 An opportunity to improvise.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>We ended the trip on a high note at Houston and then back to the pavilion, to our home town, Ahmedabad. With a promise of sequels \u2013\u00a0\u00a0 travelling the world together. We will be in lookout for such opportunities.<strong>Opportunities to connect better, explore the world together &amp; to bring the best of it to our lives, our families and our surroundings.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So that was it \u2013 The MIT, The strategy meet with the \u00a0partners &amp; the Road tip. Although I\u2019m not a big time dreamer but this was indeed a dream come true \u2013 I am grateful to my Almighty for being so kind to me, for the people around me. I feel blessed, Not just today but all the time, throughout my life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2014 is going to eat up\u00a0bigger footage in the journey I\u00a0have covered \/ uncovered so far\u00a0\ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u2013 A year full of actions, emotions, drama, entertainment and learning! &nbsp; But as far as this little chapter is concern, in interest of everyone\u2019s time and to leave few interesting things for another chapters, I\u2019ll cut it short and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":64,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,22],"tags":[6],"class_list":["post-63","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enterprise-mobility","category-mobile-app","tag-enterprise-mobility"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/45"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":397,"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63\/revisions\/397"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.streebo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
