Do icebreakers actually work—or are they just a cringey waste of time? In this episode of Development Reimagined, Chin and Anita unpack the love-hate relationship many professionals have with icebreakers. From personal stories to laugh-out-loud conference memories, they explore what makes an icebreaker powerful—and what makes it painful. You’ll learn:

• The common mistakes managers and facilitators make when using icebreakers
• How to reframe icebreakers as “tone-setters” for deeper connection
• Creative, inclusive, and practical ways to use connection moments in meetings
• How a single story or casual pre-meeting touchpoint can elevate trust on a team
