Hanging in the back of the room, tuning into this client group - about to play off their culture and concerns to co-create a song with 300 people.

When we have an experience that bonds us with a group, we long to maintain the wonderful feeling that comes from the experience. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀
The best way to build and maintain a successful team is to find ways of sharing meaningful and moving interactive experiences regularly, sort of a team-building regular-exercise-routine.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀
What is your team building routine?⁣

We are all inherently creative, but many of us label ourselves as ‘not the creative type.’⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Need help showing your team they actually are creative?⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Try our ‘Team Building Through the Art of Songwriting,’ or as it has also been called ‘Lyrics And Laughter.’⁣⠀
⁣⠀
This is a step-by-step, facilitated process of writing a song, brainstorming, developing themes, and ideas in a fun and productive process. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
We all get to experience the success that comes with contributing to a genuinely creative endeavor, yielding tangible results.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
When was the last time you and your team felt confident in their ability to create and contribute?⁣

You’re already groaning at the thought of it. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Maybe it is the tone-deaf announcement from a sterilized, watered-down company voice. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Maybe it is the overly corny joke. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Or maybe you are just anticipating more of the same ‘ol same ‘ol. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
No matter which way you slice it, you are simply not excited about the message you’re receiving. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
And no one else is either.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Invariably, most employees end up on both the sending and receiving ends of announcing upcoming meetings.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
So whether you are a primary sender, a primary receiver, or a little bit of both, here are our top ways to announce a meeting without inspiring groans from your receivers:⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐮𝐩! ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Change begets change, so you can start by changing attitude by changing the script of your meeting.⁣⁣⠀ ⁣⁣⠀
𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Plan something exciting to lead your meeting and keep it hush-hush.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠! ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Make this your regular approach.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Remember that the more you inspire your meetings, the more likely you are to avoid the groans and annoyances that often accompany typical meetings! ⁣⁣

January can be a tough time for employees. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
They are experiencing the slumps that come from post-holiday timing, and increased work pressures, plus dark, cold days, could be causing your employees to suffer from depression relating to seasonal affective disorder.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
While we aren’t claiming to be psychologists, we do have the benefit of having inspired many groups of people over the years, which leads us to believe that events can help keep team members happy and on task.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Want to inspire your employees? ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Create mental and physical diversions that take their minds off “the grind” or the dark, cold days.⁣⁣

Imagine that you’re holding a box of Legos.⁣⁣⠀ ⁣⁣⠀
You dump this box of legos out onto the floor. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Reds, greens, yellows….these blocks are everywhere.⁣⁣⠀ ⁣⁣⠀
If you don’t take the steps needed to build connections between these pieces properly, all you have is a big mess of blocks across the floor, ready to bury their sharp edges into your feet.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
The connection is the lifeblood of every capable team.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Strengthening and improving this connection may seem complicated, but it can be accomplished if you focus on the right areas. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Trust⁣⁣⠀
Communication⁣⁣⠀
Collaboration⁣⁣⠀
Motivation⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Which area is your team the strongest? ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
What about the weakest?⁣⁣

How to start being creative?⁣⁣⠀ ⁣⁣⠀ St

How to start being creative?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Start with input – Nobody creates in a vacuum. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Absorb what creative people before you have done.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Don’t consider this cheating, here’s the thing. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
By the time you’ve borrowed from several sources, you will have come up with your own unique creation. The more input, the better. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Practice and learn – You’ll make some mistakes, hopefully, make a mess and encounter some frustration. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
But if you don’t give up before you’re done, you will have created something that’s uniquely yours. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Date, but don’t marry your ideas. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
When you’re beginning your creative journey, it’s easy to become enamored of almost everything you create. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
The more you create, the more you’ll be able to judge your work and know when to move on. ⁣⁣

Don’t kid yourself – a once a year team event

Don’t kid yourself – a once a year team event won’t change much about your workplace dynamic. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
You need to incorporate ongoing activities to build and maintain a positive team spirit.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Even high performing teams need to regroup, recharge and refresh. Head to our blog for lots of ideas!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Which one are you going to try?⁣⁣

You can’t be bad at something, you can only be inexperienced.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
The only way to further develop creative thinking and being a creative adult is to venture into it. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Remember, you’re merely 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 with your innate creative ability. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
You’re merely getting back in touch with the power you have to play, to discover, to learn, and create.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Don’t stress about how to be creative, and don’t forget that creativity takes many forms.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀

The best team building activities are those that help employees get to know each other while also having fun together. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Look for creative activities, even if you have a non-creative team, as this forces everyone to branch out of their comfort zone and come together in the process.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
This is also critical in establishing clear performance expectations and boundaries. If your employees don’t know what you expect, it’s unreasonable to think that they’ll magically arrive at the desired result.⁣⁣

There are clear benefits but also unique challenge

There are clear benefits but also unique challenges when employees work from home.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
For employees, one significant advantage is the lack of commute.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
From the manager’s side, having fewer employees in the office every day means that you can save on rent in a smaller office space. You also won’t have to spend as much money on office supplies, office snacks, in-house maintenance, and other routine costs.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
While the benefits 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥, teams that work from home also face challenges that are different from traditional teams.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Your employees aren’t there in person to see the work you’re doing to bring them together, so you’ll have to branch out to show them that you’re invested in them.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Basically, you have to be prepared to promote a sense of connection actively. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Otherwise, it’s easy for off-site employees to think that their work isn’t valued.⁣⁣
