In-services don't always need to be confined to a classroom and lecture format. At Inspired Memory Care, we believe in the importance of moving around, interacting, and practicing. Recently, we had the opportunity at The 80th Street Residence to enhance our skills through Teamwork training. While maintaining eye contact may seem simple, it's not easy for everyone, and practice helps! We discussed the importance of teamwork and took time to share our team members' strengths. We also explored how easy it can be to miscommunicate with our team members by engaging in drawing activities and practicing active listening. Definitely an unexpected fun activity involved playing with Legos. Working in teams, we used Legos to demonstrate that breaking tasks into steps and dividing responsibilities can make accomplishing goals easier. To further develop our skills, we even incorporated some dance moves to work on our multitasking abilities, highlighting the importance of relying on a team member when overwhelmed with responsibilities. It is always a pleasure to work with The 80th Street team members. They are open to new ideas of learning and practicing their skills as a team.
