Choices©
See how well you know your teammates—or get to know them...real fast! Playing in teams or individually, you'll guess what your teammates' preferences are. And no, this isn't just about what their favorite color is, or their favorite movie. It's about CHOICES they make every day. For example, what would your teammates pick be if their choice was between an aisle seat or window seat on a plane? Between the Mute Button or the Delete Button? Between Memories or Dreams?
Imagine the conversations started when people reveal these kinds of CHOICES! And the best part is that there are 24 CHOICES pairs, so the same team can enjoy this activity over and over! CHOICES can be played competitively in small teams, or as one large team without the competition.
Target team: This original, fast-paced activity is perfect for all kinds of teams: big or small; newly formed or long-standing; static or changing membership
Best uses: as an icebreaker at the beginning of a meeting, as an energizer midway through, or to close things out on a high note at the end. Ideal team size: 6-24 (but the included game variations may be used for teams anywhere from 2 up to 48 participants)
Activity kit includes: Complete, easy-to-follow instructions for basic play; 7 variations of play (including some for smaller and larger teams); 24 pairs of CHOICES printed on large (5x8"), thick coated card stock; and 6 matching THIS/THAT cards for guessing.
Cost: $26 (plus shipping)
Optional extra: Clear Vinyl Zip Lock carrying pouch ($3)

Nice Teams Finish Last
Don't rock the boat! Can't everybody just get along? There's a feeling that clouds many team meetings and keeps them from being effective: too much NICEness. Being NICE means no hurt feelings and everyone gets along. But it doesn't prevent conflict, it just sends it underground: passive aggression, mediocrity, and time-consuming work-arounds result. Resentment builds and teams never quite realize their full potential. The opposite of NICE is FIERCE, but that's not healthy either.
This book explores how NICE teams can reach their full potential as BOLD teams via the 4 BOLD Basics (Assume innocence; build a bridge; share your truth; and invite dialogue). Then apply those truths to every day team activities like giving honest, yet compassionate feedback; and disagreeing (appropriately and respectfully) with other teammates.
