Ease and positive emotions in team workshops
Ease and positive emotions in team workshops - a nice by-product or a key element for successful teams?
✨When was the last time you went for a magic moment walk with your team or asked yourself the "What went well?" question? When in your day-to-day work do you make explicit time for gratitude and mutual appreciation?
In my team workshops, I always incorporate small interventions from positive psychology that make a noticeable difference in terms of team dynamics, discussion atmosphere and creativity.
The magical moments walk is a real booster for positive energy. And the team members discover their patterns of success and resources along the way. By consciously looking at success stories and strengths in the team, the sense of togetherness and cooperation are strengthened. And when appreciation cards are handed out at the end of a workshop, a great deal of trust and solidarity is created in the process.
The scientific background to these exercises can be found in the PERMA model. It describes 5 dimensions that cause people (and therefore teams) to flourish and that contribute to well-being: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishments.
Apart from the fact that the well-being of employees is a key factor for long-term entrepreneurial success, there are many studies on the positive effects of the PERMA model.
Experiencing positive emotions such as pride, joy or gratitude promotes creativity and problem-solving skills, among other things. And people who experience themselves as self-efficacious are more resilient and act more independently.
