  This book provides the foundation of becoming an experienced facilitator – fun coach manager. You need to become a good Facilitator to be able to incorporate these two useful techniques in your work environment successfully. The best part about it is that out of all the methods we teach, this one is the most rewarding. It is an easy process but takes thought and action, to become a person who engages their employees, creates passion in their hearts, and helps people find purpose at and away from their job. We offer a variety of training topics and programs for your managers to get more in-depth solutions for Fun At Work.

   Everyone says they wish work could be fun, yet they aren't sure what they really want. The fact is that 7 out of 10 people don’t look forward to meetings and struggle to find authentic team engagement with co-workers. This chapter reviews both the history of team fun and how we approach the solution to healthy teamwork.

  Discover the strategy to keep your team in “communication” shape with monthly team activities and problem-solving. Healthy teamwork practices and processes are shared through “together everyone achieves more” connections.

   Engagement comes from consistent processes that connect people through conversations and sharing of ideas. Through years of facilitation and leadership programs, we have perfected a simple process to engage people in meetings, strategic planning, and volunteer committees.

   Stop and Have Fun! 

That is our message for the work team and the "I", or individuals on that team. At work, we recommend monthly team workouts plus quarterly outings to recreate or volunteer. It knocks down walls and builds teamwork. For individuals, our Fun Away from Work session will guarantee people coming to work happy through their pursuit of happiness!

  Team engagement and workplace satisfaction aren't possible without both the leader and the team players having a positive work-life balance.  Our process of Finding Time, Making Time then Investing Time into one's interests guarantees they come to work happy. This puts the responsibility of having a positive attitude  on the "individual" and not always on the manager or "boss". 

  You have learned our solutions, so now it is time to be a positive results-driven manager or supervisor to your group, team, or department. F.U.N. is about creating a sense of Friendship, building authentic Unity, and meeting the Needs of individuals and the organization.  Using our processes will empower you to achieve your goals, and by the way go home from work less stressed and happy!

   Leading through guiding is the main outcome of the book, and becoming a facilitator leader who utilizes team workouts, team talk, and problem-solving will be your take away. Consistency along with a process is the key to success and results aren't based on a personality or being a motivator!
