The meaning of "breaking the ice" is to break the barriers of suspicion, suspicion and alienation in interpersonal communication, just like breaking the thick ice in winter. Icebreaking is a technical term, which refers to a professional skill in training, especially outdoor development. It can be said that successfully breaking the ice is the key to whether the whole training can achieve the expected effect. The same name is also the name of movies and books.
The function of breaking ice is to eliminate the barriers between people. This term originated from iceberg theory. The iceberg theory means that people are like an iceberg, and the part of consciousness only accounts for a small part, while the larger part is the potential consciousness, or the consciousness that is not easily distinguished. Breaking the ice is to attract people's attention to the present, because attention cannot or is not easily influenced by the potential consciousness now, so as to achieve team integration and leave doubts and suspicions.
Icebreaking technology
Crazy sports
Crazy sports are not crazy sports, but make participants forget their own sports. The principle is that they will lose a lot of unnecessary ideas during exercise, so as to achieve the purpose of breaking the ice, but the disadvantage is that once the participants wake up, the invisible diaphragm will recover.
Direct intimacy
Direct intimacy refers to designing some exercises or activities, so that participants can directly enter the expected state of training, so that they will be close to each other after breaking the ice. This shortcoming is similar to the above. Intimacy in this activity does not mean that there will be no barriers in the next activity. It is very likely that the hard-to-break ice will soon be restored. On the surface, the enthusiasm is high, but an invisible wall has been built at the bottom of my heart, making the next task more difficult.
Self-elimination
Self-elimination is to make participants truly aware of the existence of barriers between each other and use each other's strength to eliminate them. This technique is the most difficult, so the operation is complicated and the technical content is high. Moreover, if you can't break the ice as expected, you are likely to encounter a rebound, which will make the training unable to continue. It should be said that this technology is the most successful and effective of the three ice-breaking technologies, but the negative impact caused by improper operation is also the greatest.
