A UNIQUE TEAM DAY BASED ON ONE OF
THE UK’S MOST POPULAR COMEDY
PODCASTS

The dreaded phrase at a team building day isn’t it? Forced fun. Or worse, Group Hug.


Team building can be a joyless chore. Today’s work teams can face a real disconnection
and low engagement:


  • Hybrid work has made authentic connection harder.


  • Traditional team-building often feels forced, awkward, or forgettable.


  • Culture and trust don’t grow in Zoom meetings alone.


  • Teams need fresh, human-centred ways to connect.

My Boss Bought a Toaster is an interactive storytelling experience where team members
guess who made quirky or meaningful purchases, and then hear the real story behind
them:







Storytelling builds stronger teams. It is a powerful, human, and proven way to build a real
connection. People love sharing stories, but often need a fun prompt to make it authentic.
