“The following day we did our health check and had an incredible result in measures for team trust and connection. The next week we had a meeting to brainstorm ideas of how to bring more fun into our learning and development programs. The team used the techniques you offered as a starting point.”

CASE STUDY: “Creatifying” Shopify

“I’m always thinking about how to increase engagement in my classes and get people excited about a topic. In the virtual space it’s tougher. All of these activities and tools get us there.

Leighton Wilks, Associate Dean at The Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary
