Connecting with new people can be a challenge. More for some than others. In work, and in life, knowing how much to share, where the line is, what it is okay to ask ... this was always tough. And when every team on the planet suddenly became a distributed team.. the stakes got higher.

And as welcoming as the solutions are for some, they have the opposite impact on others. Some people love virtual escape rooms and virtual happy hour. Others just wonder why they are being required to spend even more time on Zoom.

Jed and Sophia Lazar have a better answer. They've developed Cozy Juicy Real, and game which, up until now has been 100% virtual, but by the time you find this podcast it will be available in a physical form as well. It is a board game that will take you and your team through a series of questions and activities where you are invited to learn more about one another, one step at a time. It is designed to provide players with a feeling of safety as they begin to open up and share. They start with low risk (cozy) questions and work their way towards juicy and then real questions. In order to win, you have to be open to answering questions AND asking questions.

If you have a team that is struggling to connect, or that you are hoping will connect at a deeper level, Cozy, Juicy Real may be just what you are looking for.

NOTE: This podcast was recorded in video so you can see the game. If you'd like to check that out: https://bit.ly/3JJOynW
