Just finished a virtual edition of my presentation, “Manifesting a Positive Mindset” for a group of emerging leaders.

At the end, one of the participants said this was her favorite session of their program series. 😍

My heart is warm, and I’m manifesting only positive vibes for the rest of my day!

One way we recognize our outstanding team members here at Ansley Corporate Entertainmentis by celebrating them all month long.

And it is our honor to recognize our first Employee of the Month in 2023: Lauren Ansley!

To celebrate Lauren’s hard work and dedication, we are thrilled to recognize her all month long with these incredible incentives:

* The same parking spot in the driveway of her home office
* She gets to go to lunch whenever she wants
* That's it, but we added this 3rd bullet point here to make it look more impressive

Please join us in congratulating Lauren!

And if you’d like to see Lauren in action, join us for a complimentary one-hour session on Thurs, Jan 26 where she’ll share her favorite icebreakers for business meetings – RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/e3qdJjPY

12/20/2022

Are you prioritizing teambuilding, connection and engagement in the new year?

Then we highly recommend carving out time for a thoughtful icebreaker or two (or more!) at your meetings.

The right icebreaker can be incredibly effective at encouraging connections among even the most established teams.

Here are some *introvert friendly* examples: https://laurenansley.com/2022/12/08/4-introvert-approved-icebreakers-for-business-meetings/

And on Thurs, Jan 24 our Founder + Chief Entertainment Officer Lauren Ansley will be showing off some of her favorite icebreakers in a complimentary, one-hour virtual session.

Two thoughts:

1. This is hilariously relatable.

2. Meetings don't have to be like this! (And my clients know it.)

One of the keys to more productive meetings is ✨audience engagement.✨

People retain more information through ACTIVE participation vs. PASSIVE listening.

💡One Bright Idea: Add in a bit of gamification at your next company meeting to encourage active participation.

By adding in an element of friendly competition, you're not only reinforcing the information and increasing retention, you're also encouraging interaction and bonding among your team.

💡Another Bright Idea: Transform your next "state of the company" meeting into a "mini game show" where you're sharing key company updates/info in a fun and engaging way:

i.e. Last quarter's goal was $1M. Despite a somewhat volatile market and the increase in interest rates, we actually managed to produce what...?

A: Elephants and Acrobats
B. Free WIFI for all employees, which we already had for several previous quarters.
C. $1.2M in sales, which positions us nicely into the next quarter

💥And YES this can be done in-person as well as virtually!💥

Imagine if your team looked forward to the next meeting with anticipation vs. dread? What a game changer!

Check out our latest blog here:

Q: Are we still hosting icebreakers at business meetings? A. YES! Because they are incredibly effective at encouraging connections among even the most established teams, especially when facilitated properly.  A well-orchestrated icebreaker helps to set the tone for a positive and productive meetin...

"Nice to meet you, Lauren! So, what do you do?"

I've had the opportunity to do a lot of fantastic networking lately.

And I've drilled down my answer to be succinct and clearly state what I do:

Ansley Corporate Entertainment provides engaging and interactive entertainment for corporate meetings and events.

*Note: Subject to change and evolve if/when I come up with something snazzier and more captivating.

Still, it's a good answer, and I like it!

My response provides a nice opening for further conversation and follow up questions, but it also provides enough context in the moment.

So, in that spirit, I also present to you a succinct visual of what we do.

And I'll also add we're now booking holiday parties... Just in case you missed the strategically placed Santa hat!

This is your reminder that you can have fun at work and still be taken seriously.

It's also my favorite Jack Handey quote.

Why not kick off your meetings with a funny quote to engage your audience with a smile?

Even better, pepper in some humor into your presentation to reenergize your audience.

🤞🤞🤞 Our fingers crossed!

👩‍💻👨‍💻🧑‍💻We just submitted a proposal for a virtual team engagement session for an organization in NY. 🗽

💡The company found us online, while looking for something fun to do at the end of their virtual company staff meeting.

🤔 They said they have tried to do things internally, but thought "why not hire an expert to really get the engagement up and team excited?" 🤔

🍎 🍏 Remember when you had a substitute teacher in school?

🍎🍏That air of excitement that came with the change of pace?

🍎🍏We find the same is true when hiring a professional entertainer!

So wish us luck as they consider our proposal. 🐇🦶(That's supposed to be a rabbits foot! 🤣🤦‍♀️)

🤩Anytime we get the opportunity to entertain and engage is a 🎉win-🎉win-🎉win

🎉 A win for the client
🎉 A win for the audience
🎉 And a win for our entertainment team.

🤞🤞🤞
