Du suchst nach einem Energizer für deinen virtuellen Workshop? Dieses Energizer Spiel ist wirklich zum Aufwachen, denn es wird sportlich. Das geht überraschend gut per Webcam und ich habe schon Gruppen richtig ausflippen sehen. Jede:r Teilnehmer:in kann eine Bewegung vormachen, dadurch lastet weniger Druck auf dem Moderator:in des virtuellen Workshops, das er die Teilnehmer „zwingt“ jetzt Sport zu machen. Durch die Bewegung werden Teilnehmer deutlich wacher, weil man in den meisten virtuellen Workshop lange Zeiten unbeweglich sitzt.

What is moving us forward and What is Holding us back in as an organization or team.

Moving us forward: what's working for us, what's really good.

Holding us back: what challenges are we facing?
