Delightfully Friday Junior: Rose, Thorn, Bud
Sharing in on each other’s highs, lows, and futures
This week’s Delightfully Friday Junior (if you’re catching up on what this is, learn more here) involved a roundtable sharing of Rose, Thorn, Bud. It’s a great activity in reflecting and learning about our teammates and the full, rich lives we each lead.
Everybody shared at least one Rose, Bud, Thorn from their past week.
A Rose is a highlight, success, small win, or something positive that happened.
A Thorn is a challenge you experienced or something you can use more support with.
A Bud is a new idea that has blossomed or something you are looking forward to knowing or understanding more.
This exercise was a great reminder that while we’re here for a job and have work to do, each person on the team contains multitudes of things that are weighing on them and bringing them joy in the day to day.
If you’re looking for a team to help you discover the right thing to build and help you build it, get in touch.
