Have you been in an online course, put in the Breakout Room and someone hijacks the conversation? Actually, it isn't a conversation because it's one person talking and asking for help on her/his needs? Is there an equanimity within the people connected? Is there generosity? Is there respect and honour for the opinions, ideas, searching of all?
If you've found all these elements, please feel you've won the lottery!! If you haven't, it's probably simply because you and the rest did not learn team building techniques when you were younger. Just imagine a world in which groups of adults or students get together and they have their own best interests at heart but they also have the patience and intention to let those around them to feel heard, seen and honoured. Would that not be a fabulous place to be?
In this episode we explore the importance of connection - to ourselves and to others, and how that connection needs to be practiced within the classroom so that it later leaves the learning environment and becomes second nature in adulthood.
Join us for a quick yet inclusive consideration of team building and connection, and click here for a simple and effective activity to energetically unite your group. Let me know how you feel when you're finished participating!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
