How to Inject Joy Into Your Everyday

• Camp Joy fasciliates 30-minute pick-me-up “Joy Sessions” over five days that give small bursts of joy to your teams.
• You can also create “Joy Injectors,” which are one-off sessions (30 to 90 minutes) which incorporate ways to celebrate or have fun.
• Creating joy is about creating trusting relationships through communication.
• Ask icebreaker questions with your teams. Don’t talk about what project you're working on. Instead, talk about your favorite childhood memory, or what celebrity you’d want to party with. Things that make people more relatable.
• Pop culture is a great shorthand for making people relate to you.
