Hi all! Just wondering - what are some of your favourite go-to methods to use in a workshop if you want people to express themselves creatively in a group? For example, after the group has gotten some input, some date to work with, and the outcome you want to achieve is that the participants put this new information into "practise" and through some creative activity maybe see it in a new perspective? For example, I have used the approach of asking them to create a short-form (for ex. 3 minute) play so they can symbolize and act out what they have just heard or making a collage. What else comes to mind, what are your experiences? Or do you even use approaches like these? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. :)

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have for a workshop I am planning. In this workshop, colleagues will be introduced to the results of an impactful research. Those results directly affect their work, so instead of just raising their awareness of these findings we want to actually plan some actions with them. We are a bit stuck on how to actually achieve a practical outcome for this meeting. Our hope is that participants will be able to relate the information they just heard to their daily work and leave with a feeling that these results directly affect them. Which exercises and methods do you see would help us to achieve that? Thank you in advance! :)

You’re looking for an activity to kick off your meeting, workshop or training, but you’re tired of the same old icebreaker activities you’ve seen on every list? You’re in the right place! 😊 I believe that most #icebreaker activities are not effective for most groups. So, in this first post of my #FixMyIcebreaker series, I will explain why they don't work and provide alternative activities that work so much better (including facilitator tips). If you’re looking for fresh and new activities, check out my full post here: https://www.jankeck.com/best-icebreakers-alternatives-1/ In today's post, I am fixing: · Fun Facts 🤪 · Two Truths & One Lie 🤥 · Never Have I Ever 🙅‍♂️ And here are some comments the first few readers have left already: "I've bookmarked your article!" "💡I had a great “aha” moment with his analysis of “Two Truths and One Lie.” I have used this one in the past, but he made me rethink it, and I’m taking it out of my repertoire." "Great ideas! I like how you can adapt Show Yourself to the session content by changing the questions." If you like this type of content, let me know what other icebreaker activities I should fix next 👇

Hey everyone! Not sure if this is something we'll do regularly, depends on if you find it useful (let me know!). Here is a recording of this week's Q&A call. 2 big themes this week: 1.
