The Fun Friday Formula

I’m a big believer in “Fun Fridays”. For some people, this means a free lunch, or wearing jeans. But on teams I’ve led, Fun Fridays have centered around our weekly team meeting. Too many teams shy away from weekly meetings, or dread seeing them on the schedule. But with Fun – or Fabulous, or Fantastic – Fridays, your team can use the “Four Cs” (connection, celebration, challenges, and communication) to end each week on a high note.

Meeting for Connection

The main goal of every team meeting should be to increase connection. I’ve written before about how connection leads to trust, and trust leads to great sales, but it has to start within the team. Creating connection means creating an environment where team members can share what’s top of mind, what’s working, and what isn’t. They’ll understand that the team meeting is a safe atmosphere, where the team will work together to find ideas that everyone loves, not just one or two ‘talkers’ who have the most to say.
