A really fun session. I ran this as a stand alone session as part of a Learning at work week. We wanted to offer some engaging and lighthearted sessions to get people attending and talking to us throughout the week while having a laugh while also talking about how we make messages stick. So many people were really open about how bad their memory which made it a great way to touch on a the subject. After using it I will likely add it in to a TTT as it could link quite nicely. Lots of laughter as well which is always good and the feedback post session was really positive. Be prepared for people to not have any change in scores and others to have a significant uplift, opens up great dialogue about what they already use but for the most part a definite uplift in scores.

This is a brilliant way of challenging our unconscious communication methods and think about the effectiveness of the messages we deliver. Adding in a competitive edge made it extra fun and the blindfolds shows real trust between delegates. Can be used in so many different situations and compliments the Communication Skills Course well, highly recommend!

I've been tackling a breakdown of communication and relationships within a team and I used this as an icebreaker for session 2 (of 4). Session 1 covered communication. Session 2 was introducing conflict. This ice breaker was great at getting the group to recap on active listening from session 1 and to introduce some sources of conflict which were going to be discussed in session 2 (stereotyping and assumptions). The group really enjoyed the activity and it enabled me to use some relevant examples without highlighting individuals' behaviours within the group.

I used this at a Change Management workshop for a team of 10. I split them into two teams and asked them to review the case study and provide feedback on their findings and recommendations for what could have been done differently.
The delegates loved the activity (they don't like role plays, so case studies are brilliant for them). They had lots of great discussions, and I could overhear them making some comparisons to their own organisation.
This case study generated many great discussions around change and its impact, not only on employees but also on customers. Both teams came up with good ideas on how things could have been handled more effectively and took away practical ideas that they could then implement in their own organisations.
Great activity and I will be using this again.

I used this ice-breaker activity at my Change Management workshop. The delegates were all really engaged with it, and it generated lots of great reflections and conversations about where people felt they had been with change and where they were with it now. Delegates reflected at the end of the day that they had enjoyed this activity and how it had helped them to discover just how much change they have dealt with over the years.
