Building a cohesive staff team can be challenging, especially when trying to gain student buy-in for processes and goals our offices are trying to achieve. What if we reimagined staff development by incorporating play and drawing inspiration from reality TV-style team games? The Area Coordinator team has explored this approach, using friendly competition and interactive activities to boost engagement, strengthen trust, and increase participation. In this session, we’ll share how these strategies were implemented, how they support one-on-one connections, and the impact they’ve had on team development and overall staff success.

Presenters: Kaelyn Matthews, Karly Taylor, Malik Parks, Zaria Clemons
