The Ice Breaker

When I was a trainer for an international business seminar company and on the road in December, the “ice breaker” first thing in the morning was to introduce myself and that in Oklahoma we had our very own State Christmas Carol. I simply began the jingle, and 2-8 people in the audience would stand up spontaneously and sing with me, much to the amazement of the rest of the class. It never failed that SOMEONE in the audience knew the jingle. After that, the group was immediate friends.
