[Ailist] Ice Breaker

[Mark Berns]

I like the "good thing in your life" question. Another possibility would be
simply to talk about something they're proudest of. You could also have
pairs interview each other and then introduce the person they interviewed to
others in small groups.

Roger;

Try having everone think back to when they were 12 years old and ask them to
remember what they wanted to be (career) at that age.
