Our MGRUSH Facilitative Leadership and Facilitator Workshop alumni have digital rights to access thousands of Brain Teasers (or, Brain Breaks/ Brakes as a double entendre). If you need help with the answers, simply reply with a comment or buy us a cup of coffee.

We like to use them at the end of a lunch period during full-day(s) workshops to get people seated on time, and having a little fun.

Don’t ruin your career by hosting bad meetings. Sign up for a workshop or send this to someone who should. MGRUSH workshops focus on meeting design and practice. Each person practices tools, methods, and activities every day during the week. Therefore, while some call this immersion, we call it the road to building high-value facilitation skills.

Our workshops also provide a superb way to earn up to 40 SEUs from the Scrum Alliance, 40 CDUs from IIBA, 40 Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) based on Federal Acquisition Certification Continuous Professional Learning Requirements using Training and Education activities, 40 Professional Development Units (PDUs) from SAVE International, as well as 4.0 CEUs for other professions. (See workshop and Reference Manual descriptions for details.)
