Last Week, HLM celebrated its third annual Dare Week, a tradition that brings our remote team together through a series of creative and adventurous challenges. This year’s event was a resounding success, with team members from various locations enthusiastically participating and sharing their experiences.
Highlights from Dare Week 2024
Dare Week is designed to encourage HLMers to step out of their routines, engage with their surroundings, and create memorable moments. Here are some standout moments from this year's event:
Nathan Yates and the Houston Team
Nathan and his team in the Houston office took to birdwatching and even humorously tackled the challenge of mowing the grass with invisible lawnmowers! Their creativity and team spirit were evident in the photos they shared.
Ellie Barde
Ellie embraced nature by pitching a tent, sleeping under the stars, and watching the clouds turn into various shapes. Her photos captured the peacefulness of the outdoors.
Bruna Cecilio and Lauren Anderson
Both Bruna and Lauren chased beautiful sunsets on the water and went birdwatching, sharing stunning photos of their adventures.
Muhammad Zaid
Muhammad had an eventful week, visiting a state park, chasing the sunset, baking a cake, and birdwatching, among other activities. His enthusiasm was evident in every challenge he completed.
Lindsay Ouelette
Lindsay checked out a new summer read, "The Paradise Problem," adding a literary twist to her Dare Week experience.
Erica Soroka
Erica combined summer reading with a fun dare of ordering whatever the person in front of her ordered at the drive-thru. Her $45 Taco Bell feast after a long day on the boat was a delicious highlight.
Mark Kurta
Mark involved his dog in the fun, painting a pot and making a peanut butter pupsicle together. This added a heartwarming and playful touch to Dare Week.
The Winning HLMer
After a week filled with laughter, adventure, and numerous completed dares, we tallied the results to find our Dare Week champion. But first, we need a drumroll. So...
Drumroll please…
Keep drumrolling...
Gotta build the suspense...
Seriously, we can't just give it away...
You'd be disappointed if we simply told you...
Ya gotta work for it, like anything good in life...
Keep scrolling...
You can do it...
We believe in you...
Almost there...
And the winner is...
MUHAMMAD ZAID!
This year, HLMs Dare Week Winner is Muhammad Zaid, who impressed us all with his dedication and enthusiasm in completing the most dares. Congratulations to Muhammad for embodying the true spirit of Dare Week!
