ICE BREAKERS for successful coaching Breaking down barriers building relationships PTTLS Sandi Bates 2010
INTRODUCE MYSELF. Participants introduce themselves and explain why they are there. Participants will explain where they first heard about the opportunity to come to this session, how they became interested in the subject, their occupations, home town, favourite television program, family structure, the best book they have read in the last year, their favourite holiday destination etc. The subjects do not really matter it is a tool to use to get to know each other and begin to form a relationship based on shared knowledge about each other.
HOW DO YOU FEEL? Participants write down words or phrases that describe their feelings on the first day of class or at the start of a session. These are then compared and discussed with their partner. Participants are then asked discuss the joint coach/coachee responsibilities in order to ensure a successful and effective coaching relationship. HOW DO YOU FEEL?

COMMON GROUND. Participants have a specific time (perhaps 5 minutes) to write a list of everything they all have in common with each other. Try to avoid the obvious (for instance, “we are all taking this course”). When time is up, look at how much you and your partner have in common. This is a great starting point for discussions and a positive starting point for a successful coaching relationship.
Sparkling moment – think of something that has happened at work that made you feel good. Share with your partner
