Making a Lasting Impression: Unique Ice Breaker Questions

September 19, 2024 by Dr. Julie Pham Leave a Comment

There’s a common misconception that making a lasting impression requires talking a lot. However, asking meaningful questions encourages others to open up and share their stories. This can have a far greater impact than what we say about ourselves.

Our favorite icebreaker questions fall into three categories: past, present, and future. These categories help us explore who people were, who they are, and who they aspire to be.

Past Questions:

  • What family traditions did you have growing up?
  • How would your school friends describe you?
  • Who were your early heroes?
  • What experiences influenced your views on success and respect?

Present Questions:

  • How would your friends and family describe you today?
  • Who is your best friend right now?
  • What’s a perfect day like for you?
  • What does success look and feel like to you?

Future Questions:

  • When you pass, how would you like your friends and family to describe you?
  • If money were no object, what would you do with your life?

What are your favorite icebreakers? We hope you find this video useful. If you do, please click like and share it with others.
