Last week I had the pleasure of leading Late Nite Art at theSkimm in celebration of their 12th Birthday. For those who don't know, theSkimm is a female-founded media company made famous by their daily email digests 💌 : a summary of news stories written in a way that is simple, related, and easy to read. I first became a reader of theSkimm in 2013, right after I had my daughter. I needed some way of ingesting news that matched the time and energy constraints of being a single parent. I think at one point I even registered that I felt comforted by their emails - a daily opportunity to hear about what's real from a voice that felt like a friend. Meeting and facilitating this team last week was truly special. I held back tears more than a few times as close to 100 people shared their profound gifts of honesty, #vulnerability and wisdom. Like always, Late Nite Art 🎨 opened up space for new and creative ways of connecting. And this team - they stepped right in. At the end, one participant kindly shared how skeptical she is of #teambuilding events. 🤟I get it. After all, most of us cringe 🫣 inside at the thought of something forced or inauthentic - an experience that might ask us to share too much in ways we aren't consenting to and in ways the space isn't designed for. What's magic about Late Nite Art is how it gives people the freedom to follow their own lead. It also asks people to mirror 🪞 one another - no forcing, just reflecting back and making space for the many #emotions, states and traits in the room. As a practitioner and life-long student of #emotionalintelligence, I feel incredibly lucky to be witness to people sharing their stories and in many cases, really "seeing" each other for the first time - even after they have worked side by side for years. A huge shout out to the #arts, to #music, to LNA and to theSkimm. I am not just impacted by what this company does (journalism and news ain't easy these days!) but who they are and what they brought to the table. #connection #creativity #storytelling #psychologicalsafety

❓Does gathering as a team in person make meaningful connection happen? ✍🏼Well, not necessarily. As Jenny Sauer-Klein taught us, if you really want to shift the dynamics of a group, you must design for connection by making the implicit explicit. 🛬So we did! This week my team, Global Workplace Experience, led by Eric Kline, gathered in San Jose and later even went offsite to Bishop Ranch for some alternative real estate inspiration. 👩🏽🎨The purpose of the gathering was to reconnect and we had several moments throughout our summit of deliberately designed-for connection. It all culminated on our last day with a Late Nite Art session hosted by the incredible Lotus Malana Wong. We debriefed with Jenny and she helped us learn more explicitly about the power of this kind of sustained, reciprocal, voluntary intimacy amongst teammates. 📆It's mid year and the team agreed it was just the refuel we needed to keep going for another half! #creativity #connection #workbetter #design

🤔 Did you know? April is #StressAwareness month and May is #MentalHealthAwareness month 👉 While it's essential to first be aware and identify signs of stress and poor mental health in our workplace and daily lives... now more than ever we need strategies and tools to integrate throughout our day for #StressManagement and #Wellbeing. ⚒ People Leaders are dealing with high amounts of stress and feeling overstretched between budget cuts, layoffs, reorgs, adapting to new technology (hello AI), navigating constant change, and still trying to serve and support colleagues through it all... IT'S A LOT! 😰 This week, Wendy Horng Brawer ⚡️ and I hosted a Late Nite Art Virtual People Leaders Series, "From Overstretched to Ongoing Self-Care". ❣️ Our aim was to showcase how instead of waiting for weekends or vacations to take time for ourselves, through small and intentional "micro moments" of self-care in #meetings, we can further address our stress and support mental health.💡 You know what we did during the event? ⏰ We gave everyone 10 full minutes to do something in the moment to foster self-care. 💥Some people danced, others meditated, some walked around the block and discovered a community event, and after JUST 10 MINUTES people came back reporting back that they felt refreshed, rejuvenated, energized, calm, and so much more! ⚡️ Someone said those 10 minutes felt LUXURIOUS! 🙏 What a moment! 🥰 📒As we close out April and move into May, we’ve put together an actionable guide to help you integrate more modalities for #selfcare and #wellbeing in your #virtual meetings, inspired by our own Late Nite Art methodology: 🎵 Music 💃 Movement 🎨 Visual Arts 🗣 Storytelling and so much more! 🎯 Feel free to download the guide and try out at least one idea in your next virtual meeting. I guarantee your people will thank you!! 🙏 And if you need support to bring masterful #virtual #facilitation to your team, reach out because LNA is here to partner! 💬Are YOU ready to integrate more micro moments of self-care throughout your day? Let me know in the comments below 👇 P.S. The group called these micro moments time confetti 🎉 and I just love that! ❣️ #ExperienceLearningwithRomy

In one week, we helped build connection and break down barriers with: - POC women entrepreneurs and non-profit leaders - Women in the construction industry - Product design and manufacturing solutions executives - Early-career marketers - Mayors and administrators of cities from 25 countries - And environmental lawyers For a long time I've dreamed of having a high-capacity team like this: who love and respect each other, do great work, but also have fun while doing it.
