Dish it Out

Create a meat that mimics the experience of your product.

This one is fresh out of the oven. Put your chef hat on, and design a meal, cocktail or mocktail that represents the essence of your product or experience.

Planets

A Self-Awareness, Empathy, and Non-Violent Communication Practice for Leaders and Team members

The Planets Activity is a reflective and relational practice that helps leaders map the inner landscape that drives their behaviour at work. Using a simple metaphor of three concentric circles, participants identify their core needs (NVC), the feelings that arise when these needs are met or unmet, and the observable actions they take on the “surface” as a result. By distinguishing clearly between needs, feelings, and behaviours, leaders gain a deeper understanding of their own patterns and those of others. This creates a foundation of empathy, emotional literacy, and shared language that enhances collaboration, reduces misinterpretation, and supports more human, responsible leadership.

It has been a highly acclaimed activity for every team and training session, and it is easy to deliver while having the greatest impact on the workshop or training.

Positive Gossip

Creating a climate of appreciative personal feedback can dramatically boost performance for individuals and groups. It is possible to begin turning a vicious self-reinforcing cycle of negative gossip—that stifles risk-taking and innovation—into a virtuous self-reinforcing cycle of positive feedback. Positive Gossip is an antidote to a strongly felt discontent and indifference that spreads informally from person to person (a form of acute proliferative dysphoria). A generalized malaise in which “things will not get better, only worse.” A robust pattern of positive feedback can eliminate the need for extrinsic rewards and incentive programs (e.g. free coffee coupons, stickers, awards ceremonies).
