Description: Today’s workplaces are increasingly hybrid, with people working from different locations, communicating and collaborating asynchronously. This makes it harder to foster meaningful connections and alignment across a team. Playing games with a team is an invaluable experience to build connections, establish communication, navigate conflict, and create a safe space for navigating challenging work and life transitions.
The pandemic gave many of us the opportunity to reset, realign, and pivot. But we’ve also experienced a collective trauma that has dramatically changed how we approach life and work. We’re grieving the loss of loved ones, the “old” way of doing things, and the loss of stability/predictability. and a way of life that will never return. The world has changed and will continue to evolve as we figure out what post-pandemic life will look like. And stress, burnout, and unacknowledged trauma will undermine our recovery if we don’t make personal and workplace well-being an urgent priority moving forward.
Games can be a powerful tool to relieve pandemic stress and explore better ways to balance work, life, and the distractions that seem to be getting in your way more often than they help you focus on mission-critical activities.
No matter your position or whether you work in person, remotely, or hybrid, this training will provide an overview of fun games, strategies, and best practices for increasing engagement on your team and creating a healthier hybrid workplace culture in a post-pandemic world.
Learning Objectives:
• Reflect on how the pandemic has impacted workplace culture and wellness.
• Learn how games can support you in creating a healthier hybrid workplace culture.
• Commit to trying one new game or strategy for yourself or team.
Course benefits:
• Better cross-team communication and collaboration
• Higher levels of employee engagement and wellness
• Stronger employee relationships and an overall healthier workplace culture
Format: Instructor-led workshop (virtual or in-person)
Target audience: All distributed, hybrid, or remote employees and teams and their managers who are struggling with effective collaboration, engagement, and creating a healthy culture in the hybrid workplace.

Here’s what I know for sure…
What your team needs is not more case studies or complicated research to unpack.
Your team is mission-driven and works hard to make a positive difference in the world. But they have too many things on their plate, are constantly putting out fires, and are overwhelmed by the endless emails and Zoom meetings.
And what you think is a technology problem may actually be a people problem.
You know there must be a better way for you to do good work without burning out and sacrificing your wellbeing.
“The content of the session absolutely ‘hit the target’ in meeting the learning objectives. The session flow was smooth and the supporting materials appropriate. What was most striking was Meico’s ability to field the fellows’ often challenging questions and comments with expertise and humor. Based on feedback from the fellows, the session was as much fun as it was transformative! I too walked away with some “precious nuggets” of insight about how to be more mindful and intentional in my leadership and personal life. I will most definitely include this session in future fellowship retreats.”
—Lynette A., Director, Leadership Development Institute, ZERO TO THREE
What I do…
👨🏽🏫 I teach mission-driven professionals and changemakers how to:
✔️ Create impact without burnout
✔️ Find and sustain work-life and tech-life balance
✔️ Do great work better
How?
🎤 Speaking, training, coaching, and consulting which includes, but is not limited to virtual and in-person workshops, retreats, individual and team coaching, and courses.
Who do I work with?
Mission-driven nonprofits, government agencies, foundations, B Corps, mission-driven corporations, schools, inclusive faith communities, healthcare institutions, artists, and individual changemakers making a positive difference in the world.
Why me?
To be successful long-term, your team needs these three things in place:
Practical and actionable strategies they can implement immediately and over the medium and long-term
A step-by-step action plan
Accountability from someone who’s been there to show them the way
Without a plan, practical strategies, and accountability, your team wastes valuable time and resources on “professional development” that leads to short-term inspiration and motivation; and ultimately right back where they started—stressed out, overwhelmed, and juggling too many things on their plate.
As a certified mindfulness teacher and professional speaker and trainer, I provide support to mission-driven teams and changemakers on wellness, productivity, work-life balance, and tech-life balance.
I use a trauma-informed and mindfulness-based approach to support your team in creating lasting balance, fostering well-being, and doing great work better.
I have worked with thousands of changemakers around the world to help teams like yours create more impact and do great work even better while sustaining the right balance between life, work, and technology in today’s changing world.

Description: Today’s workplaces are increasingly hybrid, with people working from different locations, communicating and collaborating asynchronously. This makes it harder to foster meaningful connections and alignment across a team. Playing games with a team is an invaluable experience to build connections, establish communication, navigate conflict, and create a safe space for navigating challenging work and life transitions.
The pandemic gave many of us the opportunity to reset, realign, and pivot. But we’ve also experienced a collective trauma that has dramatically changed how we approach life and work. We’re grieving the loss of loved ones, the “old” way of doing things, and the loss of stability/predictability. and a way of life that will never return. The world has changed and will continue to evolve as we figure out what post-pandemic life will look like. And stress, burnout, and unacknowledged trauma will undermine our recovery if we don’t make personal and workplace well-being an urgent priority moving forward.
Games can be a powerful tool to relieve pandemic stress and explore better ways to balance work, life, and the distractions that seem to be getting in your way more often than they help you focus on mission-critical activities.
No matter your position or whether you work in person, remotely, or hybrid, this training will provide an overview of fun games, strategies, and best practices for increasing engagement on your team and creating a healthier hybrid workplace culture in a post-pandemic world.
Learning Objectives:
• Reflect on how the pandemic has impacted workplace culture and wellness.
• Learn how games can support you in creating a healthier hybrid workplace culture.
• Commit to trying one new game or strategy for yourself or team.
Course benefits:
• Better cross-team communication and collaboration
• Higher levels of employee engagement and wellness
• Stronger employee relationships and an overall healthier workplace culture
Format: Instructor-led workshop (virtual or in-person)
Target audience: All distributed, hybrid, or remote employees and teams and their managers who are struggling with effective collaboration, engagement, and creating a healthy culture in the hybrid workplace.
Course length: 2-hour or 4-hour workshop (also available as a keynote, retreat, virtual pre-recorded program, or a custom format that you choose)

“I can't say enough good things about Meico's message or his delivery! Meico presented at the Family Promise national conference. The ~200 attendees for his session had a lively discussion with him via chat. And many, many of them commented favorably afterwards about how much they valued his workshop. I enthusiastically recommend taking one of Meico's courses and hiring him to present at your own conference.”
