ICE BREAKERS & OTHER RAPPORT BUILDERS
|
Ice breakers are a great way to “form” a group and collectively begin to develop rapport with each other during a conference, meeting or training day. They can also be used in conjunction with each other and form an effective and fun team building session, on-site brown bag training or afternoon team bonding program. Let us know how you’d like to use these ice breakers for your next meeting so we can customize it just for your needs.
