Using Quote to inspire team and promote trust.

This activity could work between sessions as an energiser or an icebreaker. It builds on participants' memory and communication.

Easy and fun ways to review content or atmosphere at the end or in between group activity, in 2 minutes.

An engaging variation on a feedback activity that focuses on future changes and positive action, rather than dwelling on what went wrong.

Facilitate a team conversation about personal strengths:

• Ask participants to pick from a set of strength card, e.g. one strength each for everyone in the group (or more for small groups)

• People take turns to “give” a strength to another team member, share how/when they have seen the strength in the other person and say thank you

• Everyone will end up with a set of strengths provided by other team members and feel belonging and appreciation

Using the chat in zoom, participants share ideas / challenges and then additions / solutions.

Draw circles up in the air with the index finger and observe the way the direction of the circles changes, as we change the vantage point.

In pairs, each person gives a "magical" gift to their partner that relates to what their partner has shared with them. 

In most meetings, 20% of participants do 80% of the talking. Unfortunately, remote meetings amplify this lousy behavior.

Some people like to talk to think, while others need to think before they talk. Some people are shy and quiet, while others are more vocal and outspoken.

This activity helps assess participation style and adjust behaviors.

What made success possible? In less than one hour, a group of any size can generate the list of conditions that are essential for its success. You can liberate spontaneous momentum and insights for positive change from within the organization as “hidden” success stories are revealed. Positive movement is sparked by the search for what works now and by uncovering the root causes that make success possible.

Used as a post-session follow up or multiple session activity, participants share their action plan or project success. Results can be posted and discussed on a shared network or brought to a later live session (such as a review session or informal group catch up).
