Business Taboo: A Fun Icebreaker to Explain What You Do
Ever struggle to explain what you do? Play Taboo with your business and discover a fun, low-pressure way to describe your work and get to know other business owners.
Struggling to explain what you do in a way that sticks? Vicki Kelty, is an online English teacher for adults, who uses this fun game to spark conversations with her students.
We decided to adapt it and play Taboo with our business intros. We chose a secret word connected to your work, describe it without the obvious words, and see how others guess it. It’s a fun networking icebreaker that helps people learn what you do from a fresh angle.
