Left or Right? (Not Political - I Promise!)

​With all the talk and writing about the Left and the Right over the last few months, the terms were kind of stuck in my head. Lately, I've been trying to be very intentional about turning anything negative into a positive, so I decided to do something with Left and Right that would flip the feeling. Here's how you can do it, too!

During your next virtual training, ask everyone to put their video feed on, stand up and center themselves in the view. Then  share one or more statements, directing them to step to the left if they agree or to the right if they disagree. You might make statements specific to your content or more generic ones, such as:
​

• Our mission statement is clearly applicable to my work. 
• The pacing of the session is just right for me.
• I'd like more time for breakout room discussions.
• Small group discussions will improve our creativity. 

My participants shared that they liked watching their colleagues move from their center position, and even predicted which way they might move! As a presenter, their movement gave me some real-time formative assessment data. Not to mention that movement increase alertness and memory. And the best part - no prep or cost!

I am now scheduling for live online training sessions for 2021. Contact me to explore a customized program for you and your colleagues. Here's some feedback from recent participants in one of my sessions.
