suggestions on how to use cubes in
training / team building!

USE PPO CUBES IN YOUR NEXT
TRAINING SESSION!

THIS PPO PACK includes Five manuals
and Five 3 INCH TALL PPO CUBES.
That's everything you need to do your
own training session on Personal
Pattern Overlay.

These 3" cubes are made of
compressed styrofoam... not the flimsy
flaky stuff. You can stand on these!

This is a great team building tool... It
allows members to find out about each
other and find common interests.

Teambuilding Session Tips

1. Have the members fill out their cubes and pass them to the
person on their left. After two minutes, return the cubes to the
original owners and have them place their cubes in their laps (out of
sight, under the table). Then go around the room and have each
person introduce the person to the right and tell all they can
remember about them. Part of the beauty of this is that they only will
remember 3 or 4 facts about the person but they will be the ones
the group would find most interesting anyway. The connections and
networking that comes out of this exercise are amazing. After the
meeting and at breaks, you will see people jump up and run across
the room to link up with a person with a common interest. Although
they may have worked together for years, they had no idea!

2. Collect some examples that illustrate some of the PPO history
stories (ie. : pictures or a model of the Wright Brothers Plane, a
picture or  model of the Gutenburg press, pictures of high jump
styles, karate weaponry, velcro, etc.) The physical pass around
visuals are effective in reinforcing the information but overheads or
slides work just as well.

3.  We have found that after attendees have built their cubes and
established a problem to work on (and identified it clearly), it's best
to have them work individually for 5 minutes before exchanging
ideas from their analogies in a group. One person's ideas from their
PPO cube will chain to ideas of others in a fun and open
environment.

4. Everyone attends seminars and leaves with manuals.
Unfortunately, these often are never opened again. Having a cube
that leaves with them and sits on their desk everyday will increase
the likelihood that they will use it and adapt to this style of thinking.
Walking away with something concrete will increase the chance of
generating results.

5. When the PPO training session has been completed and the
group meets again, ask the group if anyone has had any interesting
ideas as a result of the PPO session. You will be surprised how
ideas come to people once they start thinking through analogies!
This reinforcement will add to people's interest and encourage them
to try it more.

6. Send us your success stories! We are assembling a book on PPO
and your stories are wonderful material that help people see how it
works in real life!
