Customer Reviews
For trainers, many activities are useful as icebreakers or as stress-reducers after a heated discussion. The reason I bought the book in the first place is because I could not find anything else in that category, so I guess there isn't really that much choice.
One example: The Glittering Roof, where you have everyone close their eyes and you, the facilitator, read a 2.5 page verbal 'fantasy' in a calm and soothing voice to the group. At the end, everyone discusses how they felt. There are many exercises like this in the book.
Another example (my favorite): The Beastly Boss. Again you start the group off with breathing and imagery exercises. Then you pair everyone off. One person assumes the role of Beastly Boss. The other the role of Exemplary Employee. The Beastly Boss then 'acts insensitively' while the Exemplary Employee employs more breathing and imagery techniques to remain cool. Then they switch. Puh-leez! Can anyone think of a quicker way to be sent to a remote location than to try this on your co-workers?
This is not for corporate profesionals...
