Hey there!

I have another new resource to share with you today, as well as a few training opportunities on the horizon.

First up is a new game that is included in my upcoming book, Team Building From the Toy Aisle, that I'm co-authoring with Matthew Broda and Trevor Dunlap. It's called WordARound™, and the original game challenges you to quickly identify words on circular cards. When a card is revealed, you have to quickly figure out where the word starts and be the first to shout it out before your friends do. It might sound simple, but you’ll find yourself baffled. This quick-action game by Thinkfun gets better with the more players that play. 

So how we took the game from the Toy Aisle to Team Building is in the form of an icebreaker activity. We love quick-thinking games, especially when we can incorporate them into a great opening activity. Developing critical thinking skills will help you become a valued member of any team—at work, at school, or anywhere that solid decision-making skills are needed.

New Workshop Opportunity! Matthew, Trevor and I have been busy working behind the scenes on converting many of the in-person games from Team Building From the Toy Aisle into digital format. We're going to host a 3-hour session to introduce you to the new games from the book, but also teach you ways to start developing these kinds of tools on your own. We also strategically put this workshop right before the US Thanksgiving holiday, so you can play-test these games with your loved ones in the virtual space.
