This week's Sunday quote comes from Plato. It's a quote I have shared for almost three decades with groups I have worked with. My own roots as an educator and team developer stem from my teenage years spent working in the wilderness of Algonquin Park. My those early roots to further work as an experiential educator here in Canada and throughout the Americas, I have seen the transformative power of play in teams, organizations and communities.
As we continue moving through spring you may be noticing a lightness in your teams. How can you incorporate more play into your work and team time? Some recent team play projects I've heard of from clients include:
An afternoon trip to the nearby ping pong tables or bowling alley
Volunteering with local kids charities
Getting active in community clean-ups
Taking a cruise (afternoon or evening) on the local lake (Lake Ontario is right at our doorstep here in Toronto, and the beautiful lakes up north when I am based out of Muskoka)
What could some playtime look like for you and the team? How might it connect people and energize them?
Have a great rest of the weekend!
