Icebreaker

Product Information

How: Each person is asked to make three statements about themselves, one of which has to be false. The rest of the group then votes on which “fact” is actually falsehood. Icebreakers.” The very name is enough for a frosty reception in many workplaces. The concept – short, simple games to prime our brains for planning and problem solving – is often discounted or completely overlooked by managers. But there’s evidence that the benefits of icebreakers make them more than worth the time. It's all fantastic, and I certainly don't expect this author to be the person who has all the answers, but there were just a few places where I wanted to grab that dangling plot thread, pin it down and interrogate it for all the details of this one character's life. No le doy cinco estrellas porque tiene un final abierto y no me gustó que se dejara en el aire algo que básicamente se venía mencionando desde la página uno, como que entiendo porqué se dejó en el aire pero igual no me gusta 🤷🏻‍♀️

Con todo, el libro está catalogado como romance (al menos donde yo lo conseguí), así que las escenas de James y Jaycen son muy buenas, eso sí, al ser rivales, su relación no va más allá de provocaciones hasta la segunda mitad del libro, pero antes de eso podemos ver ese «odio sexual» que se tienen. Supongo que a quienes les guste el romance intenso, este libro no les va a encantar, aquí los protagonistas nunca llegan a ser codependientes, este es un libro más del tipo amor libre que amor asfixiante y por eso a mí me gustó tanto. Ya he leído demasiado sobre parejas que se mueren sin el otro y ya me fastidiaron, básicamente sabes que o acaban juntos o acaban muertos (? aquí no puedes anticiparte a nada, que los protagonistas sean tan independientes hace que sea difícil adivinar cómo va acabar su historia de amor o qué decisiones van a tomar. Icebreakers can be an effective way to help teams get to know each other and feel more comfortable collaborating. That last point is crucial, particularly when the activity precedes a problem-solving or brainstorming meeting. Icebreakers foster what workplace experts call psychological safety In other words, they create an atmosphere in which colleagues feel free to speak up, to question, contribute and criticize – without fear of censure. One common mistake is assuming that every icebreaker serves the same purpose, in a “one size fits all” fashion. On the contrary, there are many types and styles of icebreaker, each geared towards particular groups and outcomes. It’s smarter to think of them like a set of golf clubs, with each designed for certain conditions. They’re fighting to be the best on the ice—but what happens when rivalry melts into romance? This is the question at the core of A.L. Graziadei's Icebreaker.

Despite the lingering questions -- not to mention the fact that I spent half the book all tensed up with worry over the MC's state of mind due to the extremely effective depiction of clinical depression and anxiety -- I would still give it all four stars up to this point. Why: This is a classic team-building exercise for groups of three to 10 employees who have met or interacted before. It’s a fun way for teams to get closer and bond more. 7. 10 Things in Common (20 mins) When I started reading this story, for a couple of chapters, I felt like I was reading one of those mainstream enemies to lovers M/M stories instead of a YA. College, banter, sports, parties, and lots of alcohol use. I still believe Icebreaker is more a crossover between YA and NA than real YA, but it’s much more than a simple NA college romance. I loved the themes presented, the execution and the overall representation. In color, in identity and sexuality, and more. Fortunately Icebreaker was a book I was right to be excited about, and turned out to be a story that moved me with more than just the romance part of it.

To tee off, there are “introductory icebreakers,” where the participants are strangers at the start of the session, and the “ice” is simply the fact that they don’t know each other yet. In a remote working environment, these have become increasingly valuable tools. I don’t have a right to be depressed, I’d said to Mom. My life isn’t horrible. Nothing really bad ever happened to me."How: Split participants into small teams (using breakout rooms if you’re on Zoom) and ask them to come up with one word to describe, say, your company culture, or a project you’re working on. Give them a few minutes to discuss amongst themselves, then let each team present their word, and the reasoning behind it. These are icebreakers. You’re not supposed to break the ice, you’re just supposed to coat your voice with as many layers of confidence as possible so that they don’t hear your voice shake when it’s your turn to speak. Idiot.” Icebreaker is a stunning debut that I would highly recommend to everyone out there. The book itself is short and very easy to read. From the writing to characterization- everything is done well. My only complain would be about the writing. It could have been better.

i also wasn't a fan of the abrupt ending... like, you can't just end it right there, author!! i need to know the outcome of one of the big plotlines of the book omg! that left me a bit unsatisfied, especially because the book ended right there. i think if the author had been vague about it earlier in the book and then we got a flash-forward epilogue, i would've enjoyed the book a bit more, but nope. that unfortunately didn't happen. the baby gays and bis were really cute, i did enjoy reading about them. the rest of the cast was also cute. overall this was a bunch of really polite boys. they literally played a game that was like "for every mean thing you say about the other person, you have to say something nice" and then proceeded to say things like "you smell bad" and "you have beautiful eyes" - truly a case of boys will be boys, in the non-toxic way it's supposed to bethe romance was the second main part of the story and yet it was somehow barely there? i can not explain and i won't

But, grrr, that ending. I'm actually ok that we didn't get an answer to...that one thing :) But the final beat of the story treats this like it was just about the romance all along, and...it wasn't. And frankly, if it was, I probably would have found the ending even more frustrating. The excellent variety of queer representation and the perception and/or reality of how equally (or not) they are accepted/tolerated by their family/peers Me leí este libro en un día y yo, a estas alturas de mi vida, ya casi no siento la necesidad de quedarme pegada a un libro hasta acabarlo, así que si este lo logró es por algo. En un comentario dije que no creía que fuera una obra maestra, pero es buenísimo dentro de su tipo, yo no le voy exigir a un libro algo que ni siquiera tiene la intención de dar. Este libro no fue escrito para ser una obra maestra, fue escrito para que las personas que sufrimos depresión, nos sintamos identificadas. Y en eso Graziadei ha acertado completamente. Esta es una de las pocas veces en las que se nota que ele autore realmente sabe de lo que está escribiendo y no solo entró a Google, hizo una breve investigación sobre los síntomas de la depresión y luego se puso a escribir. James es un personaje realista, la forma en la que su romance con Jaycen avanza, es real, no es como si después de su primer beso los problemas desaparecieran y ahora lo único que importara fuera su relación. James no ve a Jaycen como un centro de rehabilitación, aunque reconoce que estar enamorado de él lo impulsa a mejorar. Por eso lo vuelvo a decir: ele autore lo ha hecho genial en casi todos los aspectos (el "casi" va más por mí que por nada), sobre todo porque sabe que la depresión es más parecida a no sentir nada que a estar triste todo el tiempo. Así que, ¿quién dijo que no se podía hacer un romance tocando temas así y hacerlo bien? The last thing either is counting on is their rivalry turning into something else, something far more serious and with longer-term potential. But can they be together if both want to be #1? And is that dream what both want? I loved getting to see him blossom from the person he was at the start - insecure, passive, too afraid and weighed down by expectations to seek help or open up to people - to the person he becomes at the end: so much more confident and purposeful, aware of what he wants and willing to try and get it.Rivals to lovers seems to be the most popular trope of the decade, and I'm always equal parts excited and hesitant to read a book that boasts it. Excited because it can be so fun and thrilling when done right, and hesitant because it sometimes seems to be done just to attract buzz. Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA.
