Activity ideas:
Start or end a meeting with a motivational quote, story or poem.
Display motivational quotes on the walls of your office. (Print them from our library of poster size quotes.)
Create a Humor Notebook for your department. Whenever you see a funny cartoon or joke, put it in the notebook. Encourage your co-workers to contribute. When anyone is feeling down, they can reach for the Humor Notebook, and enjoy a few minutes of fun and laughter.
