How It Works:

Virtual PLAYshops are completely remote and can take place while your team is working from home. Teams of 8-100 can be accommodated. There are 3 components:

1. Group Games

Fun and interactive (improv-influenced) games that are designed to get teams to break down barriers and learn about themselves and the group at large.

2. Positive Psychology

The research behind what makes life worth living and aims to discover and promote the factors that allow individuals and groups to thrive.

Virtual Storytelling PLAYshop - Outline

(virtual team building workshop)

Objective: The science behind telling better stories to connect and engage more effectively with others.

INTRO

  • Guess That Tune (Pre-Game), FOP Intro, How We’ll Learn, Aha’s Woohoo’s & Huh’s.
  • A Story. Opening Activity: Broken Stories (Story Swap). Why Is Storytelling Important?
  • BIG IDEA: Stories are universally impactful!

STEP #1:  Positivity for Possibility

  • Content - Benefits - broader perspective, challenges, contagion (Why) . Negativity Bias and Positivity Ratios. (How)
  • Sample Games – Story Builderz, Emotional Name Swap, 5 Things
  • Discussion (Partners/Group Share) – How can you apply the positivity ratios to prime your audience into a positive mindset?

STEP 2:  Thinking About the Audience

  • Content – Identifying the CCI’s (capacities, concerns and interests) of your audience, & how those are different from the speaker’s CCI’s
  • Sample Games – Anybody Else? Interesting Email, Quintriplets (common/differences)
  • Discussion/Tools (Group Share) – If I were them…(If you were your audience, what would be your capacities, concerns, and interests?). Relevant stories?

STEP 3: Getting Audience to Listen

  • Content – Tell people why and how they should listen to what you’re about to say. Uncertainty makes it difficult/impossible to focus
  • Sample Games: Story Half Life, Headlines, Swedish Storytelling, Improv PPT
  • Discussion/Tools (Group Share)– Framing/Doorbell Tool. What is your story’s ‘Why’ or headline? Listner’s barriers to remove?

STEP 4:  Helping Audience Understand

  • Content – Speaker brain vs audience brain. How to make it “real” for the audience using sense experience and relevant examples
  • Sample Games - 3 Corner Story (narrative, emotion, detail), Show & Tell, WGAA (TV Informercials), Rumors
  • Discussion/Tools (Group Share)– Wish you were here (Describe your sense experience/relevant examples). Where/when can you use storytelling @ work?
