Melt the Ice: Creating Genuine Connection Without the Cringe, with Jan Keck
A practical workshop for facilitators, trainers and leaders who want to warm up their groups – without cringe-worthy icebreakers.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to melt the ice – not by replacing one awkward icebreaker with another, but by understanding the process of gradually warming up a group so that everyone feels safe to speak and brave enough to take a risk.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll walk away with:
• The main reasons why traditional icebreakers often create more resistance than connection.
• A new way to think about “warming up” your group that feels inclusive – especially for the introverted, shy and quiet folks.
• A set of guiding principles and tools (not just plug-and-play games) for designing meaningful opening moments that increase engagement, trust, and belonging in every session you lead – online and in-person.
