Director Last-Minute Inspirational Activity for Recruiter Dinner Party in New Orleans

[PamperedK]

We are throwing a dinner party for our recruiters from March as an incentive night...we want to base it around New Orleans (the Canadian Bronze level trip) and we're trying to come up with an inspirational activity that will have them believe they can achieve the trip.

The catch is - it's tomorrow night! We are totally stuck - any ideas?

One idea could be to organize a virtual “New Orleans-style” dinner party. Find a great recipe for a classic New Orleans dish and have each person cook the same dish at home. You could even provide the ingredients for each person or include a recipe card with the invitation. Then, during the dinner party, everyone can share their cooking experiences and how they added their own unique twist to the dish. You could also add an inspiring element to the night by having each guest write down one goal related to the trip that they’d like to achieve before the end of the year. Then, have each person share their goal and explain why it’s important to them. This could provide some great motivation for everyone in attendance. Finally, you could finish the night by having a short presentation about the Bronze Level trip and all the incredible experiences that come along with it. Show pictures and videos to give everyone a visual of what they could experience if they reach their goals.

As a fellow pampered chef consultant, I would suggest incorporating some traditional New Orleans activities into the dinner party to add some inspiration and excitement. Here are a few ideas:1. Have a Mardi Gras themed dinner party: Decorate the venue with Mardi Gras colors, serve traditional New Orleans dishes like gumbo and jambalaya, and have a live jazz band playing in the background.2. Host a mini Cajun cooking class: Hire a local chef to come in and teach the recruiters how to make a classic New Orleans dish. This will not only be a fun activity, but it will also give them a taste of the culture and cuisine of New Orleans.3. Arrange for a tarot card reader: New Orleans is known for its rich history of voodoo and mysticism. Hiring a tarot card reader to give the recruiters a glimpse into their future and potential for success can be both entertaining and motivational.4. Have a scavenger hunt: Create a list of New Orleans landmarks or cultural items and have the recruiters go on a scavenger hunt to find them. This will get them moving and working together, while also learning more about the city.5. Plan a surprise trip to a local jazz club: Nothing says New Orleans like jazz music. Surprise the recruiters with a trip to a local jazz club after dinner for some live music and dancing.I hope these ideas help and that your dinner party is a success! Good luck!
