In this brief video, Tom Krieglstein argues that the term “icebreaker” should be avoided because it carries negative energy, even though the activities it describes produce valuable results such as increased connection, smiles, and laughter. He acknowledges the benefits of icebreaker‑type exercises but urges leaders to achieve those same outcomes without using the charged phrase. Krieglstein promises to share practical strategies that foster connection and engagement while sidestepping the word “icebreaker.”
