Even Elon Musk Could Use Some Social Icebreakers!

Did you catch Saturday Night Live on May 9, 2021, hosted by Elon Musk? I was in hysterics watching this skit featuring a bunch of people at a party who have totally forgotten their social skills. Why? Because it happened to me, and I’m betting you can relate, too.

Now that I’m fully vaccinated, I’ve been venturing out from COVID hiding for the first time in 14 months, attending ReConEx, a Potomac MPI chapter hybrid event, the AMPS Golf Day and DMVs Vaccinated Westies – a weekly west coast swing dance that recently resumed for fully vaccinated dancers.

It’s like we all suffer from pandemic-induced memory loss: I’m so grateful for name tags, because I would otherwise not remember peoples’ names or how I know them. I’ve been feeling like a bear coming out of hibernation!

There’s never been a better time to use social icebreakers, which promote inclusivity and engagement while stimulating discussion and strengthening team bonds.

Grab my freebie, which features 23 social icebreakers that are perfect for virtual, hybrid and live events, and fully customizable for your participants.

It’s a foolproof way to avoid the kind of awkwardness we saw on SNL!

Be well,
