Looking for a way to use the wonderful Metaboard? Try this energetic and very useful icebreaker. Put delegates into group of 3-5 people and give each one a different colour smelly marker. Put each group in front of a board covered with paper. When you give the sign, ask each individual, at the same time, to write whatever words come to mind when they hear the topic of the session or workshop. For example, Customer Service, Leadership, Interview skills etc. Give them a few minutes and then ask them to stop, everybody have a look at the boards and then introduce themselves to the group explaining why they wrote the words they did. As the Trainer – this can be especially useful to walk around and listen to get a good idea of the delegate’s thoughts on the workshop topic before you even start. Use this same exercise with the metacards… Give each person three round cards. Ask them what comes to mind when they hear the topic of the workshop. Ask them to write one word per card, and then use those cards to introduce themselves to the rest of the people on their table. Make a note of similarities and differences. Ask each table to choose three words from the table and then collect those cards and stick on a flip chart at the front of the room. Use these to look at the objectives and agenda for the day.

Product Description

Using quotes in training and development workshops can be very powerful for many reasons - they can assist delegates to think through concepts and focus their minds on the content of the workshop. Quite often they can elicit emotion and provoke discussions around your subject which will then bring the content to life for them and help them to make concepts become reality.

The Coaching Skills Quote Card Set comes complete with 25 cards each one with a different interesting design or image 13.8cm x 10.5cm PLUS an associated quote linked with Coaching Skills printed within it.

The cards and quotes have been specifically designed and selected by The Training Shop in order to raise interest, encourage discussions and evoke emotions. Ideal for any creative training energisers and more specifically as icebreakers for coaching, appraisal, mentoring and development type workshops.

As an icebreaker - spread the cards out on a table and ask the delegates to come and pick a card each. This can depend on the quote or the image or just something that catches their eye. They can now use this to introduce themselves to each other or as a whole group. To make the activity more specific to the workshop content asked the delegates to pick a card or quote that captures how they envisage the workshop will run for them or perhaps their experience with the content in the past - again ask them to use the card to introduce the topic and themselves.

Pack comes complete with 25 cards all with an image and an associated quote.

Examples of the quotes include:

"Coaching is helping someone to achieve their goals by themselves, though not on their own" - Anon

"Advice is like castor oil, easy to give, but dreadful to take" - Josh Billings

"A yearly review is a summary of all the coaching sessions you have had throughout the year" - Anon

"You are a "but" man. That is the difference between success and failure - the use of the word "but"" - Homer Simpson

Plus the cards are neatly stored in a grip seal bag so you can transport them to workshops and they remain neat and tidy!
