I did this for my adult ESL students when I taught them adjectives. But it had the same positive effect on each student. They felt really good about themselves and the students got closer. Thank you!

Hi Adriana, what a creative, fun exercise! Very powerful for team meetings. I also facilitate team meetings for organizations and use a similar exercise. Instead of ponchos, I use stick notes. The feeling people get when they read the positive things others have to say about them is so freeing! Thank you for sharing. Will be checking out more of your videos! And subbing! BTW, I love your smile and energy!

Hey I really love this concept of telling people in a team why you appreciate them, I work in Scotland and it's quite different here where we aren't really into telling people how we feel and more reserved (I also work in engineering which is even more difficult to get people to talk about their feelings), is there a more subtle way of doing your poncho flipchart?

@AdrianaGirdler

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Jasmine, I completely understand where you are coming from as I have come from engineering myself. To start the process you can begin by giving everyone an appreciation card from yourself. This is something personal from you to them and it's important you are confident about it. When you feel like the team is ready you can do a Round Robin appreciation. So what happens is everyone writes an appreciation card for the person to their right. Everyone takes the time to quietly read their card and then they move on and the key is to not talk about it. This is a good way to slowly ease the team into eventually doing the poncho exercise. Hope this is helpful and thank you so much for taking the time to tune in. Cheers!

Yesss!! I'm totally going to try this team building workshop! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Adriana, this is terrific, thanks for sharing! Just 1 question: we have 3 new team members (out of 18 people), I am afraid they could not feel "included" doing this activity, as it will be difficult to have someone writing something "on" them. What would you suggest? I was thinking to extend the idea to also "wishes for the future", so that if you don't have nothing to thank for, you can wish him/her something.

Pull through…it’s something you kind of understand in principle, but not until you truly experience various action and reaction of group dynamics… does it come together in a lucid and relatable concept. Intentions converting to intentional actions. The privacy, transparency and proper oversight of systems crosses through these matters… irony flows, the positive feedback loops help, but don’t completely ease bias. These things are not new. I had. Manager once… who was the one who hired me in my first corporate job… interesting dynamics to be sure. At one meeting, I tried to show him some books and thoughts of the work I’ve done… he had expressed an interest. I usually wait for someone to care or have a common share point. It’s really just trying toe kind. This manager still was my manger in very complex and shifting times in healthcare. It’s all just a lot. But, there are so many wonderful pathways beginning to lighten. Granted, it make the blind spots all the more shaded… that too is understandable but can’t be completely understood. Being and nothings and All… Much love y’all.
