Team Building Activity: Your Talents

Your Talents is a brief team building activity that brings people together in a meaningful way. Gather your group in a circle and ask everyone to think for a moment about what their talents are. Ask them to focus on their real talents, the things that are meaningful to them and they love doing. After people think about it, ask everyone to share what their talents are. Have each person talk about their meaningful talents while everyone else listens. No commenting or follow-up questions or comments allowed when people are talking, just listening. Have each person talk once and remind the group to keep it brief but meaningful. When everyone's had a chance to share once then ask the group the following questions:

• What did you notice about this activity?
• What was the feeling in the room?
• What needed to happen to make this activity possible?
• How can you apply this experience to team building in your workplace?

The idea in this team building activity is to demonstrate the amazing gifts that people bring to the table and help people connect by learning about each other without the noise and interruptions that commonly happen in the workplace. It also suggest ways to use people's unique talents.

Take care,

Guy
