Sure. One time during corporate training, we had a role - playing session. A colleague was supposed to be a strict boss, but he accidentally tripped over a chair while scolding someone in character. Everyone burst into laughter and it completely broke the tension in the room.
At one corporate event, the boss decided to do a team - building exercise. He made all the managers wear silly hats and sing a nursery rhyme. It was hilarious to see the usually serious managers being so goofy. This not only lightened the mood but also made the employees see their managers in a more human and approachable way.
Yes. LinkedIn Learning is widely used in corporate training. Many companies subscribe to it for their employees. Employees can take courses related to their job skills, such as leadership, project management, etc. They can learn at their own convenience and apply what they learn directly in the workplace. This has led to increased productivity and better performance in many organizations.
I heard a story where during a corporate training about leadership, they had a game of building the tallest tower with limited resources. One team ended up using their own shoes and belts to add height to their tower. It was really funny to see how creative they got just to win the game.
Sure. There was a time in basic training when a recruit was so nervous during rifle drill that he accidentally saluted the rifle instead of the instructor. Everyone had a good laugh, including the instructor who then patiently corrected him.
Sure! One time, my little nephew was so excited about his new 'big boy' toilet seat. He ran to it every five minutes, even when he didn't actually need to go. He would sit there, singing songs and making faces at himself in the mirror. Another story is about a friend's kid who thought the toilet was a magical place. He would flush the toilet over and over again, just to watch the water swirl, and then laugh hysterically.
I had a friend who was training her dog to roll over. She demonstrated it herself a few times. Then the dog, instead of rolling over, started imitating her every move, like standing on two legs when she did. It made for a really funny training session.
Many manufacturing companies use VR training for their employees. Workers can be trained on operating complex machinery in a virtual environment. This reduces the risk of accidents during the actual operation. It also saves time as employees can start the real - world training with more knowledge. For instance, an automotive factory can train workers on assembling new models of cars using VR.
Well, there was a corporate horror story where a large company hired a new CEO. This CEO made a lot of hasty decisions without proper research. He decided to cut costs by reducing the quality of the products. As a result, the company's reputation was ruined. Customers started to leave, and in the end, the company had to lay off a large number of employees just to stay afloat.
At a company's sexual harassment training, they had a group activity where people had to come up with scenarios. One group created a scenario where the harasser was a clumsy alien who didn't understand human boundaries. This brought out a lot of laughter as it was such an out - of - the - box and funny way to look at the issue. It also helped people remember the key points about what not to do in a more engaging way.
Sure! One funny story is about a recruit who was so nervous during rifle training that when the instructor said 'Fire!', he accidentally dropped his rifle instead. Another is a trainee who got his boots mixed up with someone else's and ended up marching in a really strange way. And there was this guy who tried to salute the wrong officer and then got all flustered.
