Icebreaking

Icebreaking refers to activities or conversations designed to ease initial interactions between people, especially in new or formal settings. Its purpose is to reduce awkwardness, encourage communication, and foster a comfortable environment. Examples include introductions, small talk, or quick team exercises. Effective icebreaking helps build rapport, establish trust, and promote collaboration, making subsequent interactions more natural and productive. It’s a valuable tool in settings like meetings, workshops, or social gatherings to ensure participants feel more at ease and engaged from the outset.
