Ice Breakers – Creating Conditions For Active Listening
By Alan Gillies
The aim of Ice-Breakers is to establish an agreeable environment for proceedings to happen by helping the participants feel at ease. These methods are all the more necessary when the people involved don’t know each other well enough to make a good beginning. An ice-breaker will assist the participants with becoming relaxed and also set the mood for a discussion to develop. This relaxed state of mind will greatly aid the participants with being more focused and receptive so they can actively listen to all forms of communication.
