Question # 2 Can you please introduce yourself to everyone?


Start the brainstorm by asking people to introduce themselves to everyone with 1) their name and 2) a humorous lie about themselves. Example: My name is John. I climbed mount everest wearing only a straw skirt. The more ridiculous and humorous lies people tell about themselves, the better. Why? Because laughter creates a relaxed and creative atmosphere. When people have already broken the rules of what is acceptable, they are much more likely to generate really radical ideas. http://www.destination-innovation.com/start-meeting-big-lie/
