Icebreaker

Product Information

I was expecting a combination of “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” and “Beartown”, but this book turned out to be flat. The characters are quite unidimensional with hardly any complexity despite so much potential in the plot to introduce layers to their nature. Even within the uncommon representation lay a lot of clichéd thoughts. There’s no emotional intensity in the content despite the nature of the content. My biggest grouse: This book isn’t YA in any way except for the age of the protagonists!!! It is almost NA – New Adult – in its writing style. This is a genre I consciously avoid because I hate superfluous sex scenes in books. And this book has quite a few. I wish it had been tagged appropriately. It feels like it's written for hormonal teenagers, which might be partly valid, but it is not suitable for the younger members of the YA reader segment.

Despite the lingering questions -- not to mention the fact that I spent half the book all tensed up with worry over the MC's state of mind due to the extremely effective depiction of clinical depression and anxiety -- I would still give it all four stars up to this point. Me leí este libro en un día y yo, a estas alturas de mi vida, ya casi no siento la necesidad de quedarme pegada a un libro hasta acabarlo, así que si este lo logró es por algo. En un comentario dije que no creía que fuera una obra maestra, pero es buenísimo dentro de su tipo, yo no le voy exigir a un libro algo que ni siquiera tiene la intención de dar. Este libro no fue escrito para ser una obra maestra, fue escrito para que las personas que sufrimos depresión, nos sintamos identificadas. Y en eso Graziadei ha acertado completamente. Esta es una de las pocas veces en las que se nota que ele autore realmente sabe de lo que está escribiendo y no solo entró a Google, hizo una breve investigación sobre los síntomas de la depresión y luego se puso a escribir. James es un personaje realista, la forma en la que su romance con Jaycen avanza, es real, no es como si después de su primer beso los problemas desaparecieran y ahora lo único que importara fuera su relación. James no ve a Jaycen como un centro de rehabilitación, aunque reconoce que estar enamorado de él lo impulsa a mejorar. Por eso lo vuelvo a decir: ele autore lo ha hecho genial en casi todos los aspectos (el "casi" va más por mí que por nada), sobre todo porque sabe que la depresión es más parecida a no sentir nada que a estar triste todo el tiempo. Así que, ¿quién dijo que no se podía hacer un romance tocando temas así y hacerlo bien?

Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA. It looks like everything is going according to plan when she gets a full scholarship to the University of California, Maple Hills and lands a place on their competitive figure skating team. Why: This is all about triggering fast, unfiltered thinking before a brainstorming session. It’s not about right or wrong answers, it’s about celebrating the weirdest, funniest contributions and letting your brains relax into a comfortable, accepting, and creative gear. 4. Team Timeline (15 mins) While the many benefits of icebreakers are well documented, there are also a number of pitfalls to avoid, too. It’s always a good idea, for example, to start with more simple icebreakers in newly established teams and work your way up. You also want to avoid anything that is too personal or hot-button topics that will foster division instead of cohesion. And always be sure to state the objectives of the task at the start of the exercise, so participants understand what they’re doing and why. These are icebreakers. You’re not supposed to break the ice, you’re just supposed to coat your voice with as many layers of confidence as possible so that they don’t hear your voice shake when it’s your turn to speak. Idiot.”

Rivals to lovers seems to be the most popular trope of the decade, and I'm always equal parts excited and hesitant to read a book that boasts it. Excited because it can be so fun and thrilling when done right, and hesitant because it sometimes seems to be done just to attract buzz. Why: This is a classic team-building exercise for groups of three to 10 employees who have met or interacted before. It’s a fun way for teams to get closer and bond more. 7. 10 Things in Common (20 mins) Icebreaker is a stunning debut that I would highly recommend to everyone out there. The book itself is short and very easy to read. From the writing to characterization- everything is done well. My only complain would be about the writing. It could have been better. Mark my words, I will not rest until every single one of my friends who loves the All for the Game trilogy or Rachel Reid's Game Changers series has read this outstanding book!! 😍Why: This is an extremely effective way of encouraging cohesion and building solid inter-departmental relationships, leading to a happier, more committed and engaged workforce. Before you start…

Why: This exercise helps show, in a visual way, the different experiences, priorities, and generations within your team. It leads well into talking about shared experiences, breaks down barriers and creates a mindset of authentic communication. 5. One-word Icebreaker (15 mins) the baby gays and bis were really cute, i did enjoy reading about them. the rest of the cast was also cute. overall this was a bunch of really polite boys. they literally played a game that was like "for every mean thing you say about the other person, you have to say something nice" and then proceeded to say things like "you smell bad" and "you have beautiful eyes" - truly a case of boys will be boys, in the non-toxic way it's supposed to be That last point is crucial, particularly when the activity precedes a problem-solving or brainstorming meeting. Icebreakers foster what workplace experts call psychological safety In other words, they create an atmosphere in which colleagues feel free to speak up, to question, contribute and criticize – without fear of censure. The only thing I didn't love about this book was the ending. I won't get into it here, OBVIOUSLY, but after writing such a glowing review I knew people might wonder why the rating is 4.5 instead of 5. I just thought it was ~underdeveloped.~ For how the author handled important topics like depression, parental expectations, and the pressure of social media.The discussion of the imbalance of privilege between the MC and his love interest/biggest rival in the NHL Draft Bumping this to 5 stars as its been living in my head rent free for the past 2 weeks. It isn't that good from a technical point of view, but I believe its worthy of 5 stars form my side. RTC. Next to finding friends and love there was also a bit of working out strong expectations parents can have on you and your future. No le doy cinco estrellas porque tiene un final abierto y no me gustó que se dejara en el aire algo que básicamente se venía mencionando desde la página uno, como que entiendo porqué se dejó en el aire pero igual no me gusta 🤷🏻‍♀️
