I used 'course introduction' with a group on a departmental awayday. This really focused participants on the rationale for the day and allowed the groundrules to be discussed in a way that wouldn't have happened otherwise. The 'expectations of each other' allowed discussion of acceptable and desirable behaviour to be clearly stated in a department where several staff members are overbearing and dominatiing in such meetings usually. The main content of the day was more fruitful once this had happened.

A very simple and easy icebreaker which gets people thinking about how to solve problems together and being assertive. I used this with a smaller team of 5 people and it worked just as well. It was interesting to see who takes the lead in the team at the start of a training session and good to get people up and on their feet.

I use this activity in Assertiveness training. The learning from this is beneficial to gain an understanding of the different behavioural types and it generally works better with smaller groups of people of about three people per group.
