Mmmmm....have you already figured it out, based on the smell in the air?
It's National Pizza Party Day! Yep - let it be known that the third Friday in May is your invitation to pizza it up.
Or not?
Pizza parties remind me of one of three things:
1. When I did enough summer reading to earn the free personal pan pizza at Pizza Hut (awesome)
2. When I worked at Ultrazone Laser Tag as a high schooler and served pizza at birthday parties (smelly)
3. When I've received pizza as a surprise lunch at work for reasons I don't understand (a bit suspicious? What's this pizza about?)
So with all appreciation of pizza itself, when 2 out of 3 of my pizza experiences raise flags I think it's worth talking about.
Pizza (or donuts, or bagels) alone doesn't build community, share appreciation, or even nourish. When we want to celebrate, let's make sure to add:
• A specific reason we're celebrating
• An opportunity for folks to co-create that celebration (what would be preferred and meaningful from them, related to food and beyond that)
• Concrete, impact-based positive feedback
What's the best way you've celebrated at work?
