It's a chance for us to fill our minds with new ideas and re-learn old valuable ones. It's an opportunity for colleagues across our offices in three states -- Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois -- to get to know each other a little better. And it's a perfect time for our firm to learn about the latest in employee benefits, in property and casualty, in financial services. This year's team building theme is leadership, a topic with which our Thursday keynote speaker, Alison Levine, has expert knowledge. Hers is a life lived in full. To wit: she has led an expedition of Mt. Everest, with lessons learned from her travails some of the basis for her *New York Times* best-selling book, **[*On the Edge*](http://www.amazon.com/On-Edge-Leadership-Lessons-Environments/dp/1455544876)**. Her speech promises to be one of the highlights of Plexus' 2016 Team Building Event. And throughout the next few days, we'll share photos, quotes and observations from our sessions via our Plexus social media accounts. Whether it's poignant or lighthearted or simple or complex -- if it's interesting, we'll share it with you. If you don't already follow us via **[Twitter](https://twitter.com/plexusgroupe)**, **[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-plexus-groupe)**, **[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/plexusgroupe/)** and **[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/plexusgroupe/)**, now is as good a time as any to get started. And with that, we're off to get ready for a busy -- and rewarding -- couple of days. Here's to hoping you follow us along. ### Related Post ##### [Alison Levine: Leaders bear pain with grace, vigor](https://blog.plexusgroupe.com/plexus-blog/retirement-plans/2016-plexus-team-building-recapping-alison-levines-speech) On the climb to Mount Everest, there are no PTO days.
