TIRED OF THE SAME ZOOM OR TEAMS MEETINGS BUT WORKING WITH A REMOTE TEAM? TRY A WALK AND TALK MEETING

Here’s a simple idea to shake things up: Try a Walk and Talk meeting.

Encourage your team to step outside for your next meeting — whether it’s a walk around the block, standing on the porch, or even opening the garage door for fresh air.

The benefits?

🌿 Movement and nature naturally activate the creative side of the brain — helping you shift from purely analytical thinking.

🎧 Sensory moments — like hearing birds, smelling fresh-cut grass, or seeing neighbors pass by — help keep your mind present and energized.

💡 A change of environment can spark new ideas, improve engagement, and create space for more authentic conversations.

And if the weather isn’t ideal? No problem. Encourage switching rooms, sitting in your garage watching the rain come down or standing by a window — even small changes in scenery can reset your mindset.

As a leader, watch for the subtle shifts: better ideas, more energy, and greater connection. You might be surprised by how much more engaged your team becomes.

Give it a try — I’d love to hear how it works for you!
