A Team Holiday Party 🎅 Ho-Ho-Hosted Online
Hello Reader,
You probably already know that I’m a big fan of play.
Not as an escape from work, but as a way to do better work.
As I wrote in my 16-page ebook Gamify Your Work, Dr Jason Fox said, ‘People don’t play games to avoid work. People play games to engage in well-designed work.’
As we approach the end of the year, many businesses are turning their thoughts to a year-end holiday party.
The easy way to do a holiday party is:
- rent a venue,
- have an open bar,
- hire a DJ, and
- let everybody dance.
For many in-person teams, this is a solid formula. It lets everyone get together, complain about the boss in whispers underneath loud music, and blow off steam together. This provides a temporary facsimile of a relationship, but no real connection.
What about if you have a distributed team, with people who live in multiple locations? How can you help people feel celebrated, and improve the culture before everyone takes off for the holidays?
We can Ho-Ho-Host a Virtual Zoom Games Party.
My virtual workshops are already interactive and engaging, when I’m teaching topics like productivity and digital marketing.
When I host a Fun & Games session on Zoom, all we do is have a great time. I can help your team deepen their connection, culture, and collaboration through the power of play.
Feedback from recent workshops and playshops includes:
