This is a great fun activity with a lot of important points that can be highlighted in relation to listening skills, assumptions and our own unconscious biases. You can even see examples of 'group think' if you use online 'polling software' as you can observe people changing their answers as the activity progresses.
It's easy to run and even if people know what to expect (which they generally won't) the exercise still works to show how we make decisions on information we think we heard - but didn't!
Works well as an icebreaker or as a wider session on attention to detail or listening skills and also any other skill that relies on listening closely and not making assumptions such as coaching.
Highly recommended.

Great bite size session encouraging participants to recognise their options of speaking up even when they may find it a challenge. Noting that nothing will change unless they find a way to discuss (in the right way) with the correct people.

An excellent, short, exercise to highlight the four elements of the GROW model and to help coaches consider their CPD and any associated action planning they need to implement. I used this exercise recently on a 1-2-1 as part of a coaching discussion, so useful to consider using this for coaching clients and other development opportunities also.

I used this activity at a networking event to get the participants to understand how their behaviour affected others. It was interesting to listen to the discussions afterwards.
What I did realise is, having used this exercise with a team as well, that it works better in an organisation where people know each other and work together. The timing was right for this exercise and it works with 4 plus people

I previously used this exercise with a new team in which i had been asked to consider building better relationships at work.
It was easy to facilitate and brought about some interesting and engaging conversations following the questions.

Notes: Nature can be a powerful metaphor for learning. It is, after all, in a constant state of change, growth and renewal and it’s full of symbiotic relationships. There are clear parallels here with the workplace where success is often dependent on teamwork, where change is constant and where communication, learning and adaptability are essential skills. This can be a particularly powerful activity to use with new managers to encourage them to reflect on their place in the team and the skills they need to develop but it can be used in other situations too, where some self-reflection might be valuable.

An "oldie but a goodie". I've used this type of approach many times as an introduction exercise. I do, however, like the idea of using it as a review at the end of a piece of learning, and don't know why I didn't use this in this way before. Just shows, need to be pushed out of your comfort zone to think more widely than just using the same things for the same things time and time again. This has pushed me to consider how can I use/adapt this and other similar exercises in a different way.

You'll Need: • A delivery method that allows participants to give non-verbal reactions, as in Zoom. Your participants will need to understand how to do this. (Although we do provide a work around if this isn’t possible.)
Notes: This module has been written from a UK perspective. Body language can be interpreted very differently in different regions of the world. There are two ways to run this activity. The first is a lively and engaging competition, with lots of noise that might not be appropriate for all groups. This requires access to our videos and is best for customers whose membership allows them to pre-download the video, rather than stream it. The other is a discussion-based activity, which utilises breakout rooms. Choose the one that is best suited to your group.

Got introduced to this on an online session with Rod. Tried for the first time in a physical class setting. A great activity that allows learners to both problem solve and see how communication can become more effective by reducing barriers (which in turn helped our discussion on the subject afterwards). Already have a plan to use it again.

I used this with a team in which some people knew each other quite well whilst others were new to the team and it was a very good short icebreaker.
I would definitely recommend a small prize for the most unusual 'something in common' to invite a little more creative thinking. One or two came back with 'we work for the same company' / 'we all work remotely' so it might need a little encouragement to think more deeply.
It works well as an alternative to everyone introducing themselves at the start of a meeting/workshop; my team enjoyed it.

This is one of my favourite icebreakers. I use it to start a Conflict Management workshop, it's a great way to demonstrate that everyone can find something in common, even if they have only just met, and how that helps breaks down barriers.

It can even be used to introduce equality and diversity training as it provides a way to make the point that there is more to people than we see on the surface and for participants to make assumptions about others in the group.
