She was so excited to blow his mind, to introduce him to the magic of live music that she\u2019d discovered at 15 when she first went to a rock show herself. How cool, I thought, imagining her son, forevermore when asked \u201cWhat was the first band you saw live?\u201d getting to answer that he went with his mom to see a rock icon like Deal, bassist and frontwoman of the indisputably hip bands the Pixies and the Breeders. This occasioned everyone at the meeting revealing the first band they saw in concert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Perhaps more than any other bit of personal trivia, I find this one fascinating. You learn about their<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>teenage tastes in music. If their parents took them, you learn something about their childhoods. (\u201cOh, he had the kind of parents who took their 6-year-old to see Steely Dan!\u201d) My colleagues\u2019 first concerts were impressive: Duran Duran, R.E.M. on the \u201cMonster\u201d tour. Mine was the English rock band Squeeze, age 15, third row, Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And people love to tell you about their first concerts. It\u2019s a jewel box of a question, an invitation to reveal something unique about themselves , to tell a well-practiced personal story.<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>They get to convey as much or as little about your taste as you feel comfortable with \u2014 \u201cSee, I\u2019ve always been cool\u201d or \u201cGod, look what a dork I was.\u201d It\u2019s the perfect specimen of that most reviled form of corporate get-to-know-you activity: the icebreaker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I have, over the past few days, conducted an unscientific but wholly convincing study of my friends\u2019 feelings about icebreakers. They all, to a person, hate them. I get it. On their face, team-building exercises of any sort should be treated with suspicion. Icebreakers are meant to loosen people up. How loose, one might wonder wisely, is it ever appropriate to get at work? We\u2019re going around the table stating our favorite breakfast cereals, innocuous enough, but I\u2019m not sure I want to reveal anything more intimate than that to the entire marketing department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But, as cheesy as they can be in a work context (is there anything more humiliating than trying to conjure \u201ca fun fact about yourself\u201d?), I will defend a <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">good<\/em> icebreaker as a delightful shortcut to a measured intimacy. In a past job where I ran a weekly staff meeting, I began each meeting with an icebreaker. A good portion of my team was remote, before remote work was normal, and it seemed impossible that we were going to get comfortable with one another without some kind of corny intervention. I may be deluding myself, but once the team members got to know one another a little, the icebreakers became a fun parlor game, a way to get closer, to remind ourselves that we were interesting, dynamic human beings even in the matrix of the workplace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Looking back at my icebreakers from those weekly meetings, I see in my notes questions I have no idea how the people closest to me would answer, and I\u2019m tempted to ask them. Some of these questions I devised myself, some came from the writer <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1j4rj883slFvh1zZLGedqQFM0wqCrHlIEPE62K0LkKak\/edit?mc_cid=02bb085414&amp;mc_eid=241d9fac3e&amp;tab=t.0\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Rob Walkers\u2019s newsletter \u201cThe Art of Noticing,\u201d<\/a> some came from the team. \u201cWhat\u2019s the first thing you bought with your own money?\u201d \u201cWhat were you doing at 23?\u201d \u201cWhat\u2019s something you\u2019re great at but hate doing?\u201d \u201cWhat are the most common things people say when you tell them your hometown?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It might feel awkward or artificial to pose these questions in the middle of a regular conversation, but it might be fun to deliberately ask an icebreaker of your family at dinner, or a group of friends about whom you think you know everything, or your spouse. For those of us who understand the utility of small talk but deplore the slow, inefficient on-ramp of get-to-know-you questions \u2014 where are you from, what do you do, any siblings? \u2014 icebreakers do just what they claim to. You can wait for the ice to melt, or you can just smash it with a question that gets at something actually a little interesting, a little revealing. And you don\u2019t have to call them icebreakers. Outside of a corporate framework, icebreakers are just manifestations of curiosity. What do you really want to know about the person you\u2019re talking to? Why not just ask them?<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-1uuxri4 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-28ff4c69\"><span><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">THE LATEST NEWS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-9w1fbe e6idgb70\">Politics<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<ul class=\"css-1le37cb ez3869y0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Justin Vernon\u2019s early success with Bon Iver left him drained.
