๐Ÿš€ Ready to Gamify Your Work? ๐Ÿš€


๐ŸŽฎ Tired of the same old routine? During the Facilitation Lab hosted by Voltage Control this Thursday at 2 pm ET / 11am PT / 7am NZT , we're turning work into play, and you are invited to play some games with us!

Hello Reader,

Do you sometimes feel that your work is just drudgery?

The industrial revolution conditioned us to see work as toil. But what if we could infuse our tasks with joy, making hard work go by faster, with a dash of fun?

In Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's book, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, he described the state of flow as complete concentration, clarity of goals, and activities that are intrinsically rewarding. This state is not just about doing our best work; it's also about being in a state of play.

You can do your best work when you enjoy it.

Later this week I will be leading a live, interactive virtual workshop for Facilitation Lab, and you are invited. (No cost to attend! Great for facilitators and leaders of all levels.)

๐Ÿ” What You Can Expect:

  • 3 interactive games to beat burnout and increase collaboration
  • Gamification techniques that increase performance and productivity
  • Fun activities you can use in your own virtual meetings

๐Ÿ‘‰ Join the Fun! Don't miss out on this game-changing workshop.

โ€‹๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Register Hereโ€‹

See you in the game! ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰
