#77: Team Building with Your Own Staff

Resources Mentioned in the Episode

These ideas are about making ongoing connections as opposed to an organized team building program (and those are good too). 

​Nose Glasses - Hide the glasses in common staff hang outs. If someone finds them they are 'challenged' to wear them in public for a while (e.g., 30-minutes). (Thanks to Chris' friends from Beber Camp for this idea.)

Slang Flash Cards - Pick a slang word and try to use it during the day. 

Clothespin Compliments - ​Write uplifting compliments or wishes on a wooden clothespin and secretly clip them on to someone without being detected. This person acknowledges the complement and then clips it on to someone else - passing it along. (Examples: You're Awesome; You're Appreciated; You're a Star!; Thank You!; Have Fun; Be Brave; Have a Great Day.) 

Mail Box Messages - Put little notes of appreciation and affirmation or little gifts (e.g., smiley face ball) in staff mailboxes.

Post-It Note Messages - Slap a Post-It Note of inspiration somewhere for staff to see. 

Mail a Letter or Postcard - When's the last time you received a letter or postcard in the mail? This can be a fun surprise. (The Postcard link goes to Inspirational Postcard packs from Amazon.) 

Make a Tool - Make something for a team building colleague they can use during their programs. (Examples: A set of Quote Cards; A Yarn Ball; A small processing bag with metaphorical items.)

The Dollar Store Challenge - As a staff, set a $5 limit per person to purchase things at a dollar store for a team building activity and then lead it at a staff meeting. To make it easier, pair up staff to work together on an activity. 


An Interesting Outing - Go to an interesting event that will stimulate a growth opportunity for your team. How can what you experience influence something you do with your clients?
