Need To Boost Morale On Your Team? | Try THIS!

[@sarahjanehenry2257]

Thank you. Keep doing what you are doing. Each and every video is a gift.

Thanks for the morale boost 😉 It'd be a lonely and pointless effort to make videos nobody was watching, so thank YOU for enjoying each one and letting it make a difference in your world.

I recently discovered you and all these great resources/experience you share with us. Sending gratitude your way....

[@chad.littlefield]

Thanks for taking the time to reach through the screen and say "hello" with your comment, Monica. Nice to connect here. Lots of good stuff already here and always putting out content I think can make a dent in your world every Tuesday.

I don't know how this happens, Chad, but so often your videos come just when I need to hear them. I am preparing to host a small team that has really been through the wringer over the past 2-3 years. They need space for some individual and collective healing. I have been wrestling with thoughts around what I can do in just a few short hours. You have reminded me that holding and living out that intention of listening deeply so they feel seen and heard will go a long way to making it a meaningful, impactful experience. Thank you for so generously sharing your wisdom with us! Your words help shape a beautiful world.

I LOVE knowing that this landing in your lap at the exact right time, Jen. Meant to be 🙂

Chad, this is wonderful. I feel that only just now are we starting to emerge from the weight and loneliness of Covid isolation. thank you! I can't imagine how much you must miss your friend and partner. What a gentle, lovely man. And, I met you both through Zoom where you rocked my world with the concept of connection before content.

One of these days, we're going to wind up in the same conference or event without the pixels in between and a small seismic explosion is going to happen haha! Cheers! 🙂

[@DarbyTobolka12]

This was my most favorite video yet! Great ideas. I can't wait to share these with teams! Thank you!

[@chad.littlefield]

🙌 Woohoo! That's what I love to hear. Thanks for sharing, Darby!

One time to help boost morale when staff members were leaving left and right we had a painting party where we had an artist come in and provide the all ready canvas and we had food and music in all kinds of just quiet time to just be in the moment a painting and that really change the mindset and the dynamics with the team quickly because we were connecting not just in a physical way but in the moment of something that maybe work was on someone’s bucket list or something that they’ve always wanted to do but they never have time for really really helped open some connective in open dialogue to support the wonder of what could happen next .

[@chad.littlefield]

I love it. Novelty and art combined are great to reset and refresh people. Thanks for sharing, Sam!

[@dking8848]

My thought is that I would admit to the group that “ I’m feeling a need to make some change to re-emerging things.”. Then ask for a brainstorm of ideas from the group about “some ways we might collaborate to make a simple change(s) that might help recharge our focus and enhance our accomplishments”. lISTENING!

[@chad.littlefield]

Clear question with good intent followed by true listening. That is a recipe for something wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

[@kimberlykennedy5922]

This was wonderful thank you!

[@chad.littlefield]

So glad you enjoyed, Kimberly! Thanks for taking a moment to share that it was useful for you.

[@The_Power_and_the_Glory]

I will try the idea of sending individuals to their own breakout room for five minutes. That may be what's needed to eliminate distractions and focus. I've always thought of breakouts as collaborative spaces.

[@chad.littlefield]

If the intention statement for a particular gathering or exercise is strong enough, it can help shift "attendance" into "attention" for sure.

[@jefffeldman2014]

Terrific ideas as always, Chad! Thanks for sharing! Just to build on the Goldmine of Goodness idea, I love the notion of sending people out into the Internet for 10 minutes to find "golden nuggets" worthy of sharing with the group, but then I thought about maybe just having people search their own bookshelf for ideas to share. Or, maybe even more interesting, to have people grab a book at random without knowing upfront why they need it and then have them search within that book for a golden nugget of an idea to share. This reinforces that interesting ideas are all around us and often available right at our fingertips.

[@chad.littlefield]

AWESOMEEEEEE extension! Thanks for following my always-invite to "ruthlessly steal and reinterpret" everything I say and do and apply it to your own context. Keeping the "goodness" closer to home will make this exercise doubly useful and sticky. Thanks for taking the time to share here, Jeff.

[@robinsoncajamarca7241]

Chad, Great idea of how can we let people be seen and heard! Reminds me a lot of what you mentioned in previous videos. Specifically, on the concept that it is better to be interested than to be interesting! I've been using this element and have been able to spark conversations and connections with people! Thanks to your channel and books Chad!! Highly recommend them to anyone who watches your videos!! All the best! -Robinson

[@chad.littlefield]

Love the connection and reflection, Robinson! Rock on.

[@speakingfingersnetwork]

Thank you Chad - deep condolence on the demise of your friend/Co Author. This is so enriching as I serve Deaf Teens who really will appreciate being seen and heard through our Signs (SpeakingFingers)- 😅🤟 Great content 👍 💪

[@anjalisharda3]

You have an amazing body language...

[@chad.littlefield]

Ha, thank you. Believe it or not, those uncontrollable arms are actually one of the reasons I almost failed public speaking in college 🙂
