High Vulnerability
-
In a small group, each person shares one thing they appreciate about the person to their right. This brief but meaningful activity fosters trust and positive connections.
-
Each participant completes the sentence "If you really knew me, you’d know..." with a personal insight. This invites authentic sharing while allowing participants to choose their level of vulnerability.
-
Each person shares one thing they’re grateful for about a teammate or the group as a whole. Consider setting parameters such as “within the last week” or “someone you don’t talk to every day”.
Low Time
These activities are brief yet powerful, encouraging authentic sharing in a short timeframe. Best suited for groups with strong psychological safety or those open to meaningful conversations. I suggest these for leadership teams, peer groups, or staff looking to build deeper connections.
-
Each person briefly shares one moment when they stepped out of their comfort zone. It’s a simple way to build empathy and celebrate courage.
-
Ask staff to draw a memorable moment (positive or challenging) from their time at work using just a sticky note and a pen. This activity invites reflection while respecting time limits.
-
Ask participants to find 5 things in that they all have in common. They may not use things such as shared workplace, gender, eye color, etc.
