Days Like This
Do you ever have days like this. It was my goal to write the June newsletter first
thing this morning…here it 4:30 pm and I’m just getting started. It does feel like
summer, 88 degrees in Nashville and sunny. Maybe that’s the problem! Well,
onto the news. We recently worked with The Affinion Group and as usual, I
believe I learned as much as our clients. This was really fun. I know I always say
that, but it’s true. I never get tired of writing songs with people. It is such a joy to
watch participants discover how creative they are, how funny they are and how
much they have in common. Most importantly this group learned a lot about
working together. During our discussion after the event, a participant commented
that she’d now walk down the hall to confer with a co-worker in person.
Previously, they were communicating via email even though their offices
were about 30 feet apart! Do you do this sometimes…or often….
There really is no substitute for sharing ideas together. Sometimes an old fashion flip chart trumps email, and it's more fun!
Some clients view team building as extra curricular. Once they’ve participated
in the program they view it as vital: productivity, shared goals, renewal, focus
and re-dedication. All for the price of a song, why haven’t you done this?
A little impromptu choreography never hurts. Luckily, they didn't ask me to dance.
