Questions

Good to know

What makes a good work icebreaker?

It's easy to answer in under a minute, it's not too personal, and the answers are actually interesting. First jobs and strange jobs always work.

How should we use these in a meeting?

Pick one question per meeting and give everyone 30 seconds to answer. It works well with new teams and new hires.

Does it work for remote teams?

Yes. Share your screen on the call and people answer out loud.
