Question of the Day

The question of the day is designed to be an icebreaker that also gets everyone thinking.  Over time these icebreakers are an aid in community building among the group.  Ideally the question would somehow relate to the particular session, but this is not necessary.  The following questions are offered as suggestions.  However the facilitator is encouraged to create her own icebreaker.

• How many years have you worked here?  (Tally up and later announce the total number of years.)
• How are you applying what you are learning in these sessions?
• What positive change have you seen in another group member?
• Describe a situation where you acted as a self-leader and what was the outcome?
• Who is your role model for the topic of today's session and why?
• Suggest either a "do" or a "don't" tip that would be helpful in today's topic.
• Suggest a tip for working with a difficult person. 
• What is the greatest challenge you are now facing?  (... at work?   ... in your life?)
• When did you learn something "the hard way?"
• What was something you learned on your first paying job?
• If you could have a conversation with a famous person who would it be and why?
• What is your favorite color and what does that say about your personality?
• What makes you unique?
• What is your hobby?
• If you were to give yourself a motto or slogan, what would it be?
• What is something new that you have experienced in the last week?
• Guess who?  (Prior to the session, ask all participants to provide answers to a number of simple questions.  Then see who can match the person to the answers.  Some questions might be: favorite food, best vacation, where born, favorite movie of all time, last book read, dream car, etc.)

Transformative Networking – connecting change leaders to enable self-organized grassroots change.
http://groups.google.com/group/transformative-networking

Next Steps – While still conceptual, transformative networking offers the possibility of leading change through the networking of those already interested or involved in similar initiatives, effectively tearing down existing silos of practice that exist across disciplines and fields of work.  The next step is to develop a proof of concept built on the theoretical underpinnings above, possibly using Google Wave as the collaboration platform.  Included will be identifying the minimal structure and governance required to enable self-organization within the network while not constraining what might emerge.  Join this initiative and help create the future of organizing - networking communities of interest.
