How do you transform routine corporate training into experiences that spark genuine connection, encourage laughter, and leave participants feeling more confident about both wine and each other?

Discover the power of edutainment in building positive work cultures on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Nancy Koziol, wine educator and founder of Couch + Cork, reveals how she transforms virtual wine tastings into unforgettable team-building experiences that create authentic human connections across distributed teams. Listen as Dr. Joey and Nancy explore:

☀️ Why curiosity and learning together creates overlooked joy in our work lives ☀️ How virtual experiences can deepen relationships better than office happy hours ☀️ Simple ways to see colleagues as humans instead of just departmental titles ☀️ Why confidence building through shared learning translates to better teamwork ☀️ How to communicate work-life balance values through people-first actions

Nancy transforms corporate events by proving that when you combine education with entertainment in a safe, engaging environment, people naturally connect on deeper levels and bring that positive energy back to their daily work.

🔑 Key Insight: "I think there's nothing worse than not knowing anything about your colleagues. When the stories get told or the recipes get shared, it gets people to be able to see each other as just other humans that are coexisting, not just Todd from accounting."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Ask people how their weekends were instead of immediately jumping into work when they arrive Monday morning. Live your work-life balance values through people-first interactions.
