Ein amüsantes Warm-up für Fremde oder aber auch für Teammitglieder, die sich bereits gut kennen. Es trainiert die Fähigkeiten des aktiven Zuhörens, der Empathie und der genauen Beobachtung: Wer erkennt anhand der Körpersprache die Lüge?

Great questions broaden your horizon, change your perspective, and have the ability to connect people around a topic, without judgment. 

A short visual exercise from the Kaos Pilot School.

This method teaches participants to work together as a team, even under pressure or constant changes. It requires them to be flexible and creative.

This can be used as a teambuilding activity or a way to introduce participants to each other.

Energize your group with a fun series of physical poses and movements.

Rythm Instruments is a fun way to break the ice in groups, helping each participant to feel involved and create something from "scratch".

Here's an experiential introduction to this activity:

What is your preferred technique for learning something new?

Write your answer on a piece of paper. If you don't have a piece of paper, just say your answer out aloud.

I am now going to ask you a different question. Once again, write down your answer (or say it out aloud).

What method do you usually use to train other people?

Compare your answers to the two questions. Are they consistent with each other? If not, why is there a discrepancy between the way you like to learn and the way you train others? Should you not help others learn the same way you like to learn?

Does this inconsistency exist because you believe that training is different from learning? Don't you believe that training has to result in learning?

Does this inconsistency exist because you believe that your learning preference is unique only to you? Don't you think that other people may have unique learning preferences? How does your training accommodate these individual differences?

The 'warm seat' generates ideas for action points for the seated person.

Unlike the 'hot seat' where individuals are put on the spot and face questions from others, the 'warm seat' is a comfortable seat from which the seated person asks the questions. The most important feature of this reviewing method is that the seated person is in control: if they feel 'too hot', 'too cold' or in any way uncomfortable, they leave the seat to stop whatever is being said.

Scenario Planning is a structured approach to imagining multiple, plausible futures. Rather than predicting one outcome, it helps groups explore a range of possibilities shaped by uncertainty and change. It’s a powerful tool for preparing strategy, stimulating creative thinking, and stress-testing assumptions
