The Futures Triangle is a mapping tool that helps participants explore the forces shaping the future. It looks at three key elements: the pull of the future, the push of the present, and the weight of the past. Together, these form a dynamic picture of the landscape of change.
In this simple closing activity, participants will share two things: an action they'll take as a result of the meeting and an action they'll take to replenish themselves.
Use this fabulous ice breaker to see the diverse perspectives of your group using creative prompts. The activity allows the team to create a quick and fun image of a fictional monster using generative AI using only 3 characteristics.
Mostly this is great for an online workshop, but with a little supervision it can be pretty cool in an in-person session.
We live and work in turbulent times, juggling never-ending to-do lists, back-to-back meetings, and constant context switching. When people enter a meeting, they often carry mental clutter – unfinished tasks, lingering thoughts, or stress from the previous discussion.
This simple yet effective exercise helps participants mentally transition into the meeting by externalizing their distractions, physically letting them go, and creating a fresh focus for the discussion ahead. I use this whenever I sense a group (whether virtual or in-person) is distracted, overwhelmed, or coming straight from another meeting. It works well when combined with a check-in question that gets everyone speaking.
A fun and interactive icebreaker that uses a classic game of Jenga to spark meaningful conversations and strengthen team connections.
