Are you starting to plan your summer team building retreat activities? We're here to make sure that they are more than just great fun (though that is important too!). Effective team building is intrinsically linked to your vision, value and business objectives and should make space for people to connect with each other in a really meaningful way. We can work with you to add value to your summer away days and improve the way your team connects and works together, while making sure everyone still has a brilliant time. That doesn't mean skipping the fun activity, that is still important, it's just about reframing how you bring in your values to the day and use the experience to build connection or trust within your team. Do you have summer away day plans? We would love to hear about them! #teambuilding #awayday #summer #thrivingteams #psychologicalsafety

Hey Moms, as we are nearing the middle of summer break, let’s take a breather to celebrate those little victories that make our days brighter. ☀️ Today I managed to sit and just be with the kids. I let them choose the game. I didn't try to hurry it along. I didn't try to 'fit something in'. I created space and just watched life through their eyes. Summer with kids is a whirlwind of activities, sunscreen applications, and endless snacks, but amidst the hustle, there are so many moments worth celebrating. Whether it’s conquering a messy art project without too much cleanup or savoring a peaceful afternoon in the backyard amidst work emails and deadlines, these little wins are what summer memories are made of.

Working during the beautiful summer can be a huge bummer... we really get it. Summer is our busiest time! But it doesn't need to be a drag. Here's how to actually enjoy those hot summer workdays ☀️😎: 🌿 Start your workday with a few minutes outside making your to-do list 🚶♀️ Take walks to break up the day and give your brain a productive rest ☕ Work from air conditioned coffee shops or under umbrellas to keep it fresh and stay cool 🥤 Sip on fun cold summer drinks throughout the day (non-alc obviously...) 🎉 Plan fun activities for your team, even if they're virtual 🌅 Schedule fun activities or periods of rest after work so you actually shut your laptop down at a reasonable time 🏝️ Have at least one fun summer adventure on the horizon to look forward to (so you actually need to get your work done) Let's make this summer a breeze, shall we? 💨✨ What else would you add in here, fellow summer worker? #eeva #summer #workfromhome

Remember that freedom of being on summer break?! Isn't it ironic that now that we are grown-ups we theoretically are more “in charge” and yet have less freedom. Our days are full of lists, obligations. Work. Summer is the perfect time to remember that life is more than work! The longer days give us more opportunities for those things that bring joy and rest – and fun! Sure, you can do things before or after work (take an early morning run, hit a hiking trail after work, read outside, linger over the sunset). But you can give yourself some summer breaks at work too! You could... 🍧 bring a frozen treat to your morning stand-up 🚶♀️ have a walking meeting 🎡 take a field trip with your work team 🏓 play a game with your co-workers What will you do in your personal or work life to make the most of these summer days? Do you have something in mind for your own summer work break? I'd love to hear your ideas!

Summertime! 🌞 We all love it. And, naturally, we all want to be outside enjoying the sunshine. So, in case your motivation is dwindling... or you notice your team's performance drops... You might want to rekindle the excitement of the work you do for both yourself and your team. Make work more fun and enjoyable.
