HOW TO BREAK ICE AND ENGAGE AUDIENCE

Corporate events can sometimes be a serious affair and as an Anchor or Host/Master of Ceremony for working professionals can be challenging sometime. The reason being, the employees come to these events with their colleagues and Bosses, mostly people with whom they have a working relation. If people treat this as another extended team meeting, the ambiance becomes tense. It comes as a part of the Host or MC (Master of Ceremony) to break the ICE and make the participants come out of the ‘Work’ mode. In team building activities, first of all the Host needs to make the audience feel comfortable with the help of jokes or quotes or ‘Shayari’ couplets. One of the very common agenda in these team building event is ‘inter-team-interaction’ or interaction among employees who do not work in same team. A Host/Hostess/MC’ should know how to divide them in creative or unique ways and then make them play interactive funny games. It is very important to not repeat the cliché activities and come with really interesting and interactive games. There would be some team members, who would not be interested and that is where the expertise of a professional EMCEE comes into picture.
