2025 Wrapped - Team Edition
A team exercise to kick off the new year
Spotify Wrapped started in 2015 (previously known as Spotify Year in Music). Since then, various companies and platforms have gotten on that viral marketing bandwagon.
This year, I received more personalized year-end recaps than usual, including one of my favorite Chicago establishments telling me I ordered Italian Beef sandwiches more frequently than any other option (IYKYK).
That got me thinking about some fun and engaging conversations you can initiate with your teams as you kick-off 2026 together. Check out the suggested topics below.
❋ Invite team members to share stats from the personalized year-end recaps they received
What was their most surprising, predictable or alarming stat?
❋ Invite team members to share work-related stats with these prompts
Most frequent topic the team member discussed with their team throughout the year.
Most frequently used corporate jargon.
Most used Teams/Slack reaction
Number of business trips or miles flown/driven.
Estimated cups of caffeine consumed.
Number of new launches.
Average number of browser tabs open at the end of the day.
Number of feedback sessions they initiated.
Number of new connections made.
Number of times you rearranged your workspace.
Number of new customers acquired.
For co-located, in office teams, most frequented lunch spot or snack you brought into the office to share.
For virtual teams, most used virtual backround.
Any other stats that are unique to your team or company culture.
❋ Invite team members to share their own recap with these prompts
Number of books read
Podcast most frequently listened to.
Type of food/meal consumed most frequently.
Number of miles/steps they ran/walked.
Greatest distance between the team member and someone they met with virtually.
Fastest they binged a new show.
❋ Close by asking team members what they hope to see more of/less of in 2026.Thinking about what you hope to see in your 2026 recap can be a helpful way to identify personal and professional goals for 2026.
Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
