Overview

Show and Tell takes the childhood classic and turns it into a warm, revealing team activity. Each participant brings, or describes, an object that matters to them, and shares the story behind it, giving colleagues a genuine window into what they value.

The object is the doorway. A photo, a keepsake, a well-worn book, whatever someone chooses, it carries a story that says something real about them, and hearing those stories builds empathy and connection that ordinary interaction rarely reaches.

A facilitator keeps the tone warm and inclusive, ensuring everyone who wants to share can, and drawing out the connections between the stories. In under an hour, a team tends to discover surprising, human sides of the colleagues they see every day.
