Company Kick-Off (CKO): Participate Your Way

Why Events Can Be Overwhelming

• Sensory overload: bright lights, loud sounds, strong smells
• Social exhaustion: casual conversation & constant interaction
• Unpredictability: unclear schedules or expectations
• Information processing: difficulty managing multiple inputs at once

Some Options Are:

• Take breaks in a quiet space when you need them
• Skip the social portions and join just the main event
• Step away if you're feeling overwhelmed
• Ask for written instructions or a detailed agenda
• Use headphones, fidget tools, or other tools to help manage
