If you really knew me…

You’d know that I once appeared on a TV comedy show in a police line-up of bald men… This is one of my favourite icebreakers. It gets people talking about themselves, but heading straight for the quirks (We’ve all got them!) By recording a visual landscape of these offhand intros, it becomes much easier to remember who was in the room, as a visual landmark has been created for each person.

This Thinkery was captured live during a series of workshops by We Are Open, for Catalyst.
