I use this icebreaker for Presentation Skills only, although it would work well in Train the Trainer as well. I find this a great starting point for the two day course that I run because it gets people thinking about the types of presentations they have been to and the types of presenters they have seen. I like to end the icebreaker by asking the delegates to keep in their heads throughout the course the best presenter they have seen and use them as a role model. | |
