CASE STUDY: The "Amazingly Similar Race" from Downtown Halifax to Peggy’s Cove

“We put a group of 30 top insurance professionals into a car scavenger hunt stretching from the historic streets of downtown Halifax out to the rugged coastline of Peggy's Cove. Armed with maps, rental cars, and a fierce list of challenges—from hunting down Titanic history to tracking historical CIBC pirate references—the energy was electric.

One team got so deeply immersed in their interpersonal connection prompts that they missed a crucial highway turn and drove an hour out of their way. They placed dead last on the scoreboard, but they walked away with the deepest, most resilient professional bond of any team on the grid. That is the power of experiential alignment.”
