I use one for management classes that talks about setting expectations by the way we describe a job to be done.
I read the following, and ask anyone if they want to do it. What Task Is This? *This task involves working in a noisy, smoke filled environment with poor lighting. *It involves repeatedly picking up a heavy solid object from one location, bending over and moving the object to another location. *Someone is constantly monitoring your performance, and generally making verbal comments on how well you do. *You may begin by using two hands, but will learn that it is easier to use only one. *Sometimes the lights flash off and on while you are working. Sometimes the lights shine directly into your eyes. *It involves using a repetitive wrist motion, and precision. *It can cause back strain. *Even as you become proficient, you will not be allowed to move more than one these objects at a time. *The more proficient you become, the more people you will have observing and critiquing your performance. -- If you haven't guessed, it's Bowling. I debrief around how we affect people's perceptions by the way we talk about things. |

Like the last post, I have a series of "mind games" that I often use. For example:
A man gets out of jail and pushes his car to a nearby hotel, where he leaves a considerable sum of money. Next, he pushes his car to a nearby house, where he leaves less money. Whats going on here? I'll save the answer to see if anyone can figure it out |

OK Deag, here is another one for you. I love to collect these and would welcome people posting others. David - The DJC Group
A man is running toward home. Another man with a mask jumps out at him, blocking his way. The first man turns around and runs in the opposite direction. What kind of mask was the second man wearing? |

While you're at it, Workforceireland, would you send me a set? I'm always looking for activities that I can use in training. I also have some, including one using helium balloons that focuses on accomplishments within a group. It usually generates a lot of energy and awareness of how much actually gets done when you often feel that you're just "moving paper". |
