To build deeper trust and empathy within a team that is already familiar. To understand colleagues' motivations and aspirations outside of work. • Create psychological safety for open participation
Teammates gain insight into each other's aspirations. This builds connection. You might even find ideas for future team activities that align with shared goals.
Participants can visually represent their bucket list item on a shared whiteboard. This shifts the activity to focus on visual communication.
Only use this if the group is comfortable sharing personal goals. Tell participants about the question beforehand. This can be a powerful way to spark future team activities.
