We’re in the throes of the World Cup right now. Excitement is high – and  it’s hard not to feel more united with the group you’re watching the game with, your country, and maybe even the world.

As people, we thrive when we are a part of something bigger than ourselves. We need to feel connected to those around us – to have a place of common ground.

It’s the same for the people you work with: they want to feel like they can relate to, and be connected with, each other.

Think about a way you can bring your team or co-workers together around a common purpose.

And, try it. You might be surprised at the response!
