Sometimes just taking a deep breath and engaging in our playful sides is exactly what we need to reset and reengage in news ways in the business. Love this reminder Hayley that laughter, creativity, teamwork, and play can have a significant impact on our connections and our joy.

One of Transcend's team commitments is "Joy," and I truly experienced that during our Tri-annual meeting earlier this month. Jaci, Kevin, and Mike organized a scavenger hunt that included rollerblading, a gondola ride over Spokane Falls, and a merry-go-round ride - and those were just the first three stops!
It was a fantastic reminder to embrace joy in everything we do… which is even sweeter when your team wins the competition! Special shout-out to Craig, Makenzie, and Kevin for that. 🥇
Here’s to more fun and memorable moments.
How many tips can we squeeze in one tip? I did my best :) Because as a group psychotherapist, I know how groups have everything that their members need. We are all auxiliary egos for each other, and the question is: Can we play together?
Thanks to Dr. Franz for having me in this episode. I always learn a lot from Tim, and I think the way we collaborate or co-create each time is a great example of how our strengths and weaknesses come together to achieve our superordinate goals as a team 😍

Another week of Making Team Projects Work with Lauren Vicker. This week's team tip is from Ozge Kantas Yorulmazlar, Ph.D., CP, PAT, a colleague within my department at St. John Fisher University. Her tip is about how to utilize all the different perspectives within a team, because a team "has everything in it" to succeed!
🧩 Challenge of the Week: Team Trust Fall! 🧩
Trust is the foundation of any successful team, and this week’s challenge is all about taking that leap—literally! Introducing one of our classic Adventure Hunt challenges: the Team Trust Fall.
🌟 How it works: One teammate stands tall, turns their back to the rest of the group, and takes a leap of faith, falling into their arms. The catch? The team has to catch them safely! It’s a perfect way to build trust and communication in a thrilling, memorable way.
💪 Why we love it:
* It encourages absolute trust in your teammates.
* Teaches the importance of clear communication and support.
* Plus, it’s an incredible bonding experience that leaves everyone smiling!
📸 Pro Tip: Practice your communication and positioning before the fall. The stronger the team’s foundation, the more confident the fall!
👉 Would you trust your team to catch you? Tag your team below and let us know!
Ready to put your trust to the test? Join us at https://lnkd.in/g8knEgnw and see how well your team can handle the fall!
Director of Engineering at CodeSignal. I manage the Content and Content Tolling for this AI-first technology learning platform. See more at learn.codesignal.com.
I’m finishing my 4th week at CodeSignal and it’s been a whirlwind of new people, ideas, and culture. I’m traveling home from my first onsite with them and I’d like to reflect a bit on what brought me here.
Back in 2013, web development was seeing a bit of a revolution as we moved from static, back-end, technologies to heavy front-end focused “Single Page Applications” (SPAs). My good friend Dennis Burton and I were doing a lot with these budding technologies and trying to figure out a fun and exciting way to teach the concept to others.
We came up with a full-day CodeMash Conference workshop (hundreds of learners) with an accompanying application called Choose Your Own Application. It took inspiration from the well-loved childhood book series to let the learner make choices as they built a full-blown application. The learner was given the opportunity to choose their frontend framework (Backbone or Knockout… it was 2013), their language (JavaScript or CoffeeScript… see 2013), their backend framework (Node.js, Rails, or ASP.NET), and their deployment platform (Heroku or Azure). There were dozens of permutations. It was a LOT of content. A LOT to test.
The experience was VERY well received. I was so honored and humbled by the number of people who learned that day. After it was done, we asked: can we scale this to other content paths? We laughed it off and said “nah, that was fun but it would be too much work”.
If you know me, I get my energy from helping other people learn things. That’s why I joined Khan Academy and stayed with them for 8 years. Ultimately, it’s what led me to take the Director of Content and Content Platform at CodeSignal. Although it’s not _exactly_ the same thing, I’m a part of a team now that is scaling the ideas behind Choose Your Own Application.
CodeSignal Learn (https://lnkd.in/gXHuMEKQ) is the most innovative technical learning platform I’ve seen yet. We’re developing content at a VERY fast pace and we will for a very long time. Unlike static video or blog-base learning, we have a PRACTICE-based platform with an AI teacher/tutor named Cosmo (a space corgi!). It’s all about mastery-based learning inside the browser IDE and Cosmo guiding you the entire way. The entire experience is in a single place.
I have only been here 4 weeks and I’m already extremely proud of what we’re building. Watch this space. We have some amazing content coming your way.
We had a great time this week in Denver, CO! ✨
The week was filled with insightful sessions, thought-provoking discussions, and amazing cross-team collaboration 🎉 We're looking forward to what's next!
What makes a company truly great to work with? Is it just about skills and results—or could it be something more?
Let me challenge your thinking: Look for a team that genuinely enjoys working together, that knows how to work hard and have fun. At Blue Compass, we believe in that balance. Every year, we break into smaller teams to compete, collaborate, and just have fun together during our Blue Circle Games—an afternoon filled with food, drinks, and activities that test our problem-solving, teamwork, and even our competitive edge.
Last Friday’s event was no exception. I had the honor of inviting some friends and old colleagues to help out, and they all walked away with the same impression: our team is connected, collaborative, and truly enjoys one another’s company. It's something you can feel, whether it’s in a game or at work.
Great weather, great competition, great teamwork—and most of all, great relationships. When choosing a partner or vendor, don’t overlook the value of a team that loves working together. That’s what makes a company stand out.
