We played one game with the team, theme is "How can I inspire myself and help others to achieve the same?"
Whole team is require. It will take 180 mins for 8 team members. 15 mins for each team members in isolation to write down( 8 nos A4 size paper, Large size room for all the team members to sit comfortably, blocked for 2-3 hrs , no disturbance or interrupt).
Start listing books, events, films, poems, people, quotes, places, paintings, experiences and whatever you find uplifting and exceptionally exciting( 15 mins each).
As we recall these, or even read or see them again, we become aware of why they inspire us and the feelings they generate.Why they build our purpose?
All the team members have to do this exercise and share.
Note: Rule of the game: No body criticize and tell any comments about others, We take the input as it is. Complete respect and we create the environment Safe to share.
Now consider what could produce similar feelings about the performance in your own company. What would need to be happening for you to feel inspired?
Let us all spend 5 mins each to share whatever we have written down.( total 40 mins).
Listen carefully with EARS open.
Disclosing personal information in this way helps build better working relationships. Suddenly people seem human and capable of being affected emotionally, and indeed inspired.
Starting a conversation about inspiration puts your collective attention on the subject.
Then, by extending it to focus on workplace performance, you start a new dialogue that could identify routes to truly exceptional results. You can create a stream of productive ideas for transforming how you serve customers, present products and deal with staff.
Talk about inspiration as an essential component of high-level performance.
Inspiration alters people inwardly so that they think and act differently, often performing beyond their own and other people’s expectations.
They feel the difference.
We need to discover each other's purpose and inspiration triggers.
This exercise to help us to connect with the people and help us to connect with organizational purpose and self.
Very powerful exercise ....Experience it..
