This exercise was co-created as part of a collaboration day between myself and Paul Goddard and was inspired by the TV series “Jamie’s Dream School”. The episode this refers to can be found here

30-45 minutes
Materials:

Digital Camera and Printer (or pre-printed head and shoulders photographs of team members)
Instructions:
Take a ‘head-and-shoulders’ photograph of each team member and print out landscape
Ask each team member to “destroy” or augment their photograph so that it reflects their style or personality
Learning Points:
- This is a fun and creative way of learning about your team-mates
- It is a great team-building exercise, especially useful for teams that are geographically distributed
Variations:
