THE LANGUAGE OF CONNECTION

Get the clarity that you need.

Your employees can get a motivational email from you every day to show you care. It includes the 100 lessons of The Language of Connection and a monthly training video. They will definitely be more productive for you.

Every week can be an amazing work week. Sometimes we have one of those weeks where there was so much stress that all you want to do is go home and watch TV. There's another option. You can have a very different team offsite where all team members really "see" each other. We play a positive game where the rules are to keep it light and fun. Rules like no complaining, no criticizing, no giving each other advice, no blaming, no being shy, no sharing your pain. It's completely the opposite of every business meeting that you assist during the week. Let's give your team balance. This is for teams that REALLY want a positive space where they can connect. We will have a blast!!!! This event is about creating team spirit.

:::: Cost: $40 per team member. Minimum 5 people.

:::: Event structure:

First 15 minutes --- registration, payment of $40, mingling and serving yourself a drink (Drinks and snacks brought by everyone)

The next 30 minutes --- each person gets a 5 minute interview and then right after their interview they have the option to sing a song or dance a song or perform anything they want to and everyone has to give energy to that person during his/her interview and performance. The performance is optional. The interview isn't optional. 4 people will probably be able to go up in these 30 minutes. Bring your guitar, poems, speeches, comedy skits, props, wigs, hats, song titles to dance or song lyrics to sing if you are up for performing. If you don't perform at the end of your 5 minute interview, you will be asked to give one acknowledgement to someone in the audience. That's all.

The next 15 minutes --- Break

The next 45 minutes --- Connection game where there are cards to choose and each card asks the player to say a successful story about themselves or a story about when they helped someone etc... No sob stories allowed. No painful stories allowed. Only entertaining exciting stories. And each card has a dare too!! (The dares are simple, fun and optional).

The next 15 minutes --- mingling and good byes.

At the end --- help cleaning up snacks and stuff is greatly appreciated.

:::: Rules of the event and the space:

These rules are enforced especially during the breaks where everyone will want to talk to each other. If you break any of these rules, you create a disconnection. We don't allow disconnections in these two hours:

- No complaining.
- No whining.
- No criticizing. No making anything or anyone wrong.
- No having an opinion of anything or anyone.
- No giving each other advice. Just feedback.
(We will show you how to say feedback)
- No preaching or imposing any religion or beliefs.
- No getting mad or throwing anger at anyone including me
- No getting mad if I give you a strike or if I give anyone a strike.
- No wanting or grabbing attention when it's not your turn.
We share attention and we pay attention to the one whose "turn" it is on stage on telling a story or
doing a dare.
- No sharing self-pity stories.
- Bring your fun and joy.
- Curse words are allowed and not to be criticized. Use curse words playfully, not with anger. If used
with anger it's a strike. If someone criticizes that someone said a curse word, that's a strike too.
- Sexual innuendo is allowed and not to be criticized. This group is about being fully alive and that
includes our playfulness. If someone criticizes sexual innuendo, you would be suppressing the
fun of the group and it's a strike.
- No putting pressure on each other or forcing anyone to laugh.
- Say acknowledgements to each other on the breaks. No advice on the breaks.
No sharing your pain during the breaks either.
- No getting drunk, just a nice buzz if you'd like. If you get drunk it is three strikes and you are out.

Note: The rules will be enforced. Three strikes and you're out until the next "Positive check-in" event. It's about having our own personal light space in these two hours.
