A team can sit in the same room all day and never actually meet.
Everyone is present and everyone is busy, and the useful things stay unsaid. The idea somebody almost raises. The problem one person can see and nobody thinks to ask about. Not because people do not care, but because there is nowhere in the day where attention is undivided.
Unplug to Reconnect is a short course on building that room back, and then running it yourself.
It is not a lecture about screen time. It is nine hands-on practices for communication, creativity and connection, plus a facilitator page for running your own Unplug Day with your team or your staff.
Who it is for
Team leads, managers, school administrators, and anyone responsible for how a group works together. It doubles as a ready-made professional development session, since the workbook walks you through running it for others.
What is included
One video lesson covering three core lessons and nine hands-on practices. The Reconnect Planner, a companion workbook, with a “Run Your Own Unplug Day” facilitator page. A Certificate of Completion recognizing approximately one hour of professional learning.
Forty-five to sixty minutes in total, video and workbook combined. Self-paced, and yours to keep and come back to.
