During our most recent Transformational Leadership Retreat in Sedona, Hue Partner Shade Dill introduced a creative, high-energy activity that got participants laughing, moving, and most importantly, sharing authentic feedback.
In this short video, Shade walks you through the Communication Relay, a multi-part team challenge designed to:
Loosen up rigid group dynamics
Create space for honest conversation
Gather team insights through structured fun
Each round includes a playful activity (like runway walks, synchronized swimming, or Disney scene re-enactments) paired with a reflection prompt to help teams discuss real dynamics like communication, collaboration, and meeting culture.

Whether you’re leading a full-day retreat or looking to break the ice in your next team session, the Communication Relay is a memorable way to bridge fun and feedback.
Do you have a meeting, workshop, or event coming up that you are facilitating and need advice on? Would you have won a gold medal for your amazing facilitation and think others could benefit from learning what you did?Â
Our FREE monthly Community of Practice is the perfect space to learn, share, and grow together! It’s kind of like free professional development. You don’t have to be a formal facilitator – if you are convening groups, leading meetings, or implementing projects and plans, this is a valuable time to get advice, give advice, and learn from members of the HueLife community. After all, HUE is all about human understanding and engagement!Â
 📅 When: Every fourth Wednesday of the month* from 2:00–3:00 p.m. CTÂ
 🌍 Where: Online via Zoom
* Exception: In July and December when we will not host our traditional virtual Community of Practice. Instead, we will host special hybrid events based in Minneapolis where you will have an opportunity to learn and network in person!Â
Bring your real-world challenges and questions—whether they’re broad (“How do I improve my facilitation skills?”) or specific (“I’m facilitating ____ and need advice on using ____ method.”)—and gain insights from a community eager to support and learn from one another.Â
Even if you’re just curious about facilitation, you’re welcome to join!Â
We look forward to seeing you in the Zoom room!
