Yet the UK and New Zealand experiences of the global Covid19 crisis have been starkly different.
Why?

Snorkelling in the bath.
- also known as being creative with what you have.
You can have great fun snorkelling in the bath – as I witnessed this weekend – with no expense. You also don’t need a large budget to create very engaging experiences for people at work when you have an important message to get communicate.

Sight – message structure (words & visuals) determine whether it is heard and remembered. I use the ‘Kipper’© methodology which combines rhetorical wisdom from Cicero with neuroscience insights on brain function.
Sound – I work with people so they use their voice most effectively
Touch – paper plates, Lego, technology tools, I’ve used lots of different things that audiences love.
Taste & smell – food gets people through the door and is very memorable (if tasty).
Yes, with a big budget, communication and employee engagement plans can include astonishingly interactive elements – even snorkelling. But for day to day effective communication where you need people to act on important messages, they are plenty of options available.
Simply adopt the ‘Snorkelling in the bath’ mindset.
