Dr. Fun Sometimes, meetings are actually fun. The fun ones are almost always informal, frequently creative and usually surprisingly productive. There's no way to guarantee that a particular meeting will in fact be fun. Toys, food and games.
Toys are the first and easiest to implement.
A good meeting toy is like a rosary or a set of worry beads. It gives the individual a way to relieve tension, engage the senses and play. Since rosaries and worry beads have unworldly connotations, the next best thing is Silly Putty. Yes, the same Silly Putty that has been around for 30 years. The clay-like stuff that bounces and stretches and picks up ink.
