Thrive Series: Team Toolkit: The Power of Walking Meetings

Team meetings

"I am unable to reflect when I am not walking; the moment I stop, I think no more, and as soon as I am again in motion, my head resumes its workings."

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Research has identified a link between walking and creativity, and between poor health and reduced resiliency.  A "walk and talk" with co-workers is not only good for your health, it can also help generate new ideas. This job aid will provide steps for a successful walking meeting.
