Suggest Walking Meetings
Recent studies have supported what philosophers have known for ages: walking encourages creative thinking. Add in the energizing, calorie-burning element, and you have a recipe for successful brainstorming meetings.
If your colleagues are on board with the walking meeting idea, take some steps to prepare. Map out a pleasant route without many distractions, and find a couple of varying lengths to suggest depending on the time allotted.
Try not to make it an exercise session — keep the pace light and comfortable, and make use of wide pathways or sidewalks to allow everyone space to be included in the conversation.
There are many benefits of having a pet! Keeping your furry friends around can actually improve the quality of your life, both mentally and physically.
