Why do Thumballs work?

What began as a conversation starter has grown into a deeply insightful training tool. Discover why they work from Dr. Sue Landy of Trainer's Warehouse.

Enhance Learning and Engagement

Thumballs actively engage participants in the learning process and spark insightful and introspective questions. When participants are engaged in their learning, they are more likely to remember and apply what they learned to their work.

Improve Communication and Collaboration

Thumballs promote active listening and participation in group discussions as participants respond to and build off of what the speaker said. By thoughtfully listening to others and responding to the prompts on the Thumballs, participants develop stronger interpersonal connections, leading to stronger communication and increased collaboration among team members.

Encourage a Positive Work Culture

When using Thumballs thoughtfully, you promote a culture of inclusivity, where employees feel comfortable sharing their thoughts with one another. Thumballs also help foster a sense of community by encouraging employees to learn more about one another in a meaningful way. When employees feel respected, valued, and safe, each employee contributes to creating a positive work environment.

Support Professional Development

Thumballs help develop key professional skills by prompting discussions on topics like leadership, personality style, diversity, teamwork, and more. Each prompt encourages participants to self-reflect on their strengths and weaknesses, and meaningful group conversations spark ideas to grow and improve.
