Mission Six

12/29/10 3:33 p.m. Boston, MA Wow Thing

I would like to see our office get together for 3-5 minutes at the beginning of the day to “pump up each other” for the day to come. Maybe it’s doing a Career TEAM cheer, a 3 minute silly dance or singing a song of the day, but a fun “we’re in this together” moment that starts us off connected with a smile.

Food is a great connector (Agent PERKS isn’t that right?) and once a quarter we can set aside a staff meeting and do a potluck with a theme. Each of us brings in something made with marshmallow, or something you might eat if you were on a cruise or what you would like to have if it were your last meal.

As I am writing this I am thinking maybe we could do something once a quarter where the participants bring in their children (don’t know if this is possible for all offices as numbers of participants vary) and we have an hour or so with the children and their moms– put on a puppet show, or balloon animals –another connector – a connector between participants and Career TEAM staff – a reminder they are in a judge-free zone, and they and their families are the reason we do what we do.

I do love, love, love the team challenges and hope to see more of them. I think they have been hugely successful and your audience PERK Duo eagerly awaits the next challenge. Keep up the great work!!
