My New Favorite Icebreaker for Inspiring Teams
<p>Here’s why I like icebreakers: They have the power to create connection, help people feel more comfortable, and shift a group’s energy for the better.</p>
<p><strong>And I just added a new one to my toolkit.</strong> It’s perfect for when you’re about to embark on a day of ideation and brainstorming because it shifts people’s perspectives by asking them to consider what inspires them to feel awe or wonder.</p>
<p>The idea of inspiring wonder was actually inspired by a recent workshop. A few days into a remote Design Sprint — the typical timeframe for idea generation, prototyping, etc. — the group logged on and one of my participants, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yoshimcleod/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Yoshi</a>, asked if he could share something to inspire the group. It was around the time the first full-color photo of the universe taken by the James Webb Telescope was published, which was exactly the image he shared.</p>
