Enhance your culture vision through the magic of tele vision
The Carousel of Progress attraction at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom shares a scene where television has just been invented, and the host shares his vision by stating "You know, I predict the day when millions of people will learn Latin and Greek sitting in front of their TV sets."
While that vision may not be 100% accurate, the truth is that many television shows contain hundreds of examples (both good and bad) to help us deliver on our vision of a positive, engaging organizational culture.
This session will entertain and enlighten the audience with actual license-protected scenes from television shows including The Office, Ted Lasso, Welcome to Wrexham, The West Wing, Parks & Recreation, and more.
Participants will learn from cited research and discover actionable items to implement back at work to enhance their organizational culture. But perhaps most important, participants will laugh!...and as Walt Disney once said, "Laughter is no enemy to learning."
