Session 4: Chief Purveyor of Fun and Games

For John Grindle, the google search “How do you have fun at work?” led ultimately to founding his own company - a company focused on bringing people together to have fun. It’s not just for initial team-building, John believes that the connection that deepens with regularly playing together is critical for teams to grow and achieve.

Guest: John Grindle

From a young age, John loved to play games. He realized he also loves bringing people together to have fun. Now, he’s the visionary leading Grin Events on a mission to connect teams one smile at a time through professionally hosted fun and games. Many people call this Team Building, but he prefers to call it Team Connecting because he believes connecting your team with genuinely fun activities is crucial to creating a productive team. Game On!
