Medium Vulnerability

Organize a day dedicated to team bonding with activities such as workshops, team-building exercises, or relaxation breaks. This is a great way to build camaraderie and allow deeper connections over an extended period.
-
Teams solve puzzles and challenges to "escape" a themed room within a set time. This activity fosters collaboration and problem-solving in a fun, slightly high-pressure setting.
-
Take the team to a local museum, park, or community event. It’s a change of environment that allows for reflection, new experiences, and informal connection-building.
High Time
These activities are designed to deepen connection through shared experiences and meaningful reflection. They work well for teams that are comfortable with each other and ready to invest time in building trust.
I recommend these for staff retreats, larger events, or when you want to foster stronger relationships.

Host an extended workshop where staff can learn something new or discuss an important topic with an expert. This fosters learning and deeper connection through shared educational experiences.

Work together on a project or initiative, using creative problem-solving techniques to generate ideas and solutions. This is a great way to invest in team goals while encouraging vulnerability through collaborative sharing.

Assign a group project or task that requires input and collaboration over a longer period, like creating a presentation or redesigning a process. It strengthens team bonds and encourages shared accountability.
