Thursday Shoutout: Make It Fun!
Thursday Shoutout is our time to feature those who have given us love on their websites or blogs. This is our way of saying: Backatcha!
From the Christopher Scott blog:
Make it Fun!
One of my favorite presenters from this year’s Maximum Impact Simulcast (MIS) was Kevin Carroll. Mr. Carroll presented a great idea to have Olympic themed “game days” at organizations as a way to boost creativity and encourage play at work.
At our local United Way we already have Game Days once a month, so our COO and I worked together to create the United Way “Unique” Olympics. Below are some pictures of month one, from our three month long United Way “Unique” Olympics. I’m not in any of the pictures because I was holding the Camera (thanks Jason), but my teammate and I are in first place. Our team name is “Go for the Gold!”
Thanks for the shoutout, Christopher and good luck to team “Go for the Gold.” Look for more United Way-Olympic pictures in our Flickr slide show (right margin) very soon.
What’s your Red Rubber Ball?!
