Let’s get to know each other!
You have 5 minutes to walk around and meet people in the room.
For each person that you talk to, be sure to note their name, pronouns, organization, superpower (i.e., their biggest strength), and their kryptonite (i.e, their biggest challenge) on your icebreaker sheet. These can be professional qualities or more personal and fun!
Once the 5 minutes are up, you will introduce to the group the last person you spoke with and they will introduce you.
