A les primeres llums d'un matí de tardor, un grup de treballadors es trobava a Montserrat, amb les seves muntanyes comuns i màgiques al fons.
At the first light of an autumn morning, a group of workers found themselves at Montserrat, with its familiar and magical mountains in the background.
El vent suau mouia les fulles dels arbres, deixant caure colors càlids a terra.
The gentle wind moved the leaves of the trees, dropping warm colors to the ground.
Els rostres dels participants, alguns emocionats, altres encara adormits, miraven cap al projecte de la jornada.
The faces of the participants, some excited, others still sleepy, looked towards the day's project.
Marc, amb el seu somriure afable, es passejava pel campament improvisat.

La seva intenció era clara: volia unir el grup per crear amistat i cohesió.
His intention was clear: he wanted to unite the group to create friendship and cohesion.
Per contra, Laia, vigilant el mòbil abans de començar, tenia altres plans.
In contrast, Laia, checking her phone before starting, had other plans.
Ella intentava organitzar l'activitat per maximitzar la productivitat.
She was trying to organize the activity to maximize productivity.
Estava decidida a fer d'aquest viatge un èxit professional.
She was determined to make this trip a professional success.
Després de l'esmorzar, Marc va suggerir una activitat de jocs en equip per començar el dia.
After breakfast, Marc suggested a team game activity to start the day.
"Podria ser divertit explorar el treball col·laboratiu, no creus?
"It could be fun to explore collaborative work, don't you think?"
", va dir amb entusiasme.
he said enthusiastically.
Però Laia no va semblar impressionada.
But Laia didn't seem impressed.
"Crec que hauríem de començar amb els tallers planificats", va respondre, una mica seca.
"I think we should start with the planned workshops," she replied, a bit dryly.
Amb el pas de les hores, la tensió va anar augmentant entre ells.
As the hours passed, the tension between them grew.
Els integrants del grup, enmig de les seves converses, comentaven la rigidesa de l'horari.
The group members, in the midst of their conversations, commented on the rigidity of the schedule.
Marc veia la incomoditat i va decidir fer un pas valent.
Marc saw the discomfort and decided to take a bold step.
"Parlem, Laia.
"Let's talk, Laia.
Si combinem una mica els nostres plans?
How about we combine some of our plans?"
", va proposar, tractant de trobar un equilibri.
he proposed, trying to find a balance.
La resposta no va arribar fins que la pluja sorpresa va interrompre la seva caminada.
The response didn't come until a surprise rain interrupted their hike.
Tots es van aixoplugar sota un gran avet, les fulles ennegrides per l'aigua.
Everyone took shelter under a large fir tree, the leaves darkened by the water.
En aquell moment, en la seva fragilitat compartida, Marc i Laia van començar a veure les coses d'una altra manera.
In that moment, in their shared vulnerability, Marc and Laia began to see things differently.
"Potser un camí mixt seria millor", va admetre Laia, mentre intentava tapar-se amb una jaqueta.
"Maybe a mixed approach would be better," Laia admitted, while trying to cover herself with a jacket.
Marc va somriure, agraït per la comprensió.
Marc smiled, grateful for the understanding.
"I podem començar amb els teus tallers després de dinar", va dir amb optimisme.
"And we can start with your workshops after lunch," he said optimistically.
Amb el nou horari, el grup va sentir una renovada energia.
With the new schedule, the group felt a renewed energy.
L'equilibri entre treball i lleure va aportar força als vincles personals i va facilitar el treball en equip.
The balance between work and leisure strengthened personal bonds and facilitated teamwork.
Al final del retir, els somriures eren genuïns, i l'harmonia, palpable.
By the end of the retreat, the smiles were genuine, and the harmony, palpable.
Marc havia après a defensar les seves idees, mentre que Laia havia trobat la bellesa en la flexibilitat.
Marc had learned to stand up for his ideas, while Laia had found beauty in flexibility.
Montserrat, amb la seva majestat silenciosa, havia sigut testimoni d'aquesta important resolució.
Montserrat, with its silent majesty, had been witness to this important resolution.
Al baixar de la muntanya, el grup estava unit, preparat per afrontar nous reptes amb força i confiança.
As they descended the mountain, the group was united, ready to face new challenges with strength and confidence.
