Everyone takes turns to answer the question: When you were growing up, what was your dream job?

How to do it

This is a pretty quick, light icebreaker to do. Ask everyone to share an answer to the question: what was your dream job, and why?

You might find that it’s a chance for you as the facilitator to get a little bit of a read on the different personalities in the group. It’s also interesting to see how different people react and respond to others’ early aspirations.

If time permits, you can actually use this to help build a lot of rapport and common ground in the group. Encourage everyone to ask questions and dig a bit deeper about the job aspirations that people shared. How have aspirations been achieved? Are any parts still true?
