How to act in a crowd
Live blogging from Kiwanis International CEO Rob Parker's "High-Impact Leadership"...
Here's his ice breaker to start the session:
Everyone was given this scenario: you're at an evening function for work and you're the most important person there, and you need to meet other important people. Then he had has introduce ourselves to others in the room.
He stopped us and switched the scenario: you're at a family reunion, but it's not the cumbersome type, these are great, great people that you love to see. One of them give a kidney so your sister kid live--those kinds of people. Now go greet people.
The point of the ice breaker, other than being an ice breaker: you do better and you feel better in a room when your frame of mind is that the other people there are more important to you.
