Music before participant presentations

Hey LisaWhat we've sometimes done when participants are about to give presentations and we want to make it fun and light is to play tracks like these as they walk up to the front of the room:Theme to Mission ImpossibleChariots of Fire themeAnother one bites the dustThis does have to be used with caution. It would be a bad move to play "another ones bites the dust" when somebody who was terrified was getting up to speak!But it works great with a group who are into a bit of fun and humor.OliviaSee More

Good to see you here, David! Yes, it's great for Team Building, for Leadership in a team too and in fact to improve anyone's range of thinking styles and communication styles. Funny to observe how people get used to one or two familiar…

I love this idea. Would work as a great team building exercise too.

They had to describe the bear-ass scratcher and it's uses without laughing and without hesitation for a minute straight.
