Use Connection Cards to Inspire Conversations

February 19, 2015

If you are looking for a fun tool to help you as a conversation starter, Connection Cards are exactly what you are looking for.

Leaders of teams in any industry can use this pack of 54 question cards as a catalyst for interesting conversations that deepen relationships among your teammates.

Some of the most memorable moments from professionally facilitated team building events are during Connection Cards conversations- where people “speed date”and have two minutes to share and answer the questions that their cards contain or “go fish” and share their answers in a small group circle…

As a coach, manager, or group leader of any kind, you want to create better connections and deeper relationships among your people… connection cards can help you do exactly that!

Pakikisama

July 25, 2013

How do you best lead your team?

Pakikisama.

It is a word you would hear in the Philippines.

It is not a duty, nor is it an obligation.  It is a word that describes the thoughtful trait of many Filipinos, who act with an open, caring, loving heart.

 It describes the act of giving your time or resources and doing a service for someone else.

Pakikisama is not done with a quid pro quo expectation, or as a gesture that requires reciprocity.

It is something done or given with the sole purpose of helping or supporting another person, or making someone else happy… and the rewards are almost wholly internal and psychological.

The surest way to become happy yourself is to do something nice for someone else.

Bayanihan is a Filipino term referring to an entire nation, country, town or community. The word describes a spirit of group unity or an effort to achieve a particular shared objective.

If you or your teammates need to improve relationships and build a culture that encourages more Pakikisama, contact me…

I provide fun conference ideas for businesses and teacher team building events that engage your people and get them to connect – using laughter as a tool that delivers lasting lessons!

As a team building speaker, Sean offers three entertaining keynote topics.

One topic focuses on his first parable, The Unexpected Leader, which shares 5 lessons to lead from wherever you are…

Another of his topics is based on his second leadership parable, Rapid Teamwork, which shares the 5 steps to build a GREAT team

His most recent is The 10 Commandments of Winning Teammates book, which is a compelling story about how to be a better boss, coworker, and family member!

Improve Teamwork and Leadership Skills!

January 28, 2012

Looking for a fun and impactful event to bring your team closer together, establish focus, and build the communication and leadership skills that your group will need to make your upcoming season a successful one?

Schedule a preseason team building event as part of your preparation or to energize your team and address any issues you are having prior to your mid-season or end-of-season tournaments!

Or, you might consider bringing in a team building speaker to share a key message on overcoming adversity or how to lead from where you are.

Your team can be more successful – and it is often not your strategy, but your team culture that keeps them from reaching their potential.

Culture trumps strategy – and if you want to improve your program’s culture, a fun team building for teachers event or interactive conference keynote may be the answer!
