Is your training meeting getting boring and stale, is your team members yawning and glancing at the clock.

Even as part of a team, the home party plan business often seems like a solo enterprise. :sing: To get members thinking like a team, try the “puzzle theme” at your next meeting.

  • Bring two or four boxes of the same puzzle - depends on the amount of members on your team.
  • Mix up the puzzle pieces - put some from one box into a different box and so on.
  • Separate your team into two or four smaller teams
  • Instruct each group to put together the puzzle as fast as possible - the first team to do so will be the winner.

Initially, it will be a competition, but the ultimate objective is to have the members realize that the fastest way to put the puzzles together is to have all four groups work together. This is a great theme for a training session that shows the value of teamwork and generating friendships. Try it at your next meeting!
 
Now, I'm guessing we don't want this to be a 1,000 piece puzzle, right? :D

You literally made me LOL, Noora - yea, I was going to say EASY but I thought everyone would get that part.
 
Great team-building idea. Thanks, Deb.
 
What a fun idea! Thanks for sharing. :)
 
Deb what a great idea! You could even go to one of those websites that makes a puzzle out of any picture and do your own--maybe the PC logo? Or something a little like that? Just in time for my meeting next week! Awesome!
