                          Mingle"® 
                          The Mingle is a ready-made activity that can be used 
                          as either an ice-breaker or a discussion starter. It 
                          comes as a set of 20 cards. Each card has a unique question 
                          designed specifically for the group you're working with 
                          or the topic you're discussing. There are currently 
                          four specific versions designed for: 
                        
 
                            • Groups - either just forming, 
                            adding new members or needing to work together better 
                             
                            • Teams - a slightly deeper 
                            look that fits well for intact teams  
                            • Collaboration - for situations 
                            where people need to find common ground and come together 
                             
                            • Sustainability - for situations 
                            where people want to learn about and explore issues 
                            of sustainability 
                            • Coming Soon: Trust 
                            – helping groups and individuals to understand 
                            and develop trust. 
                         
                         
                          As part of the activity, participants will talk one-on-one 
                          with each other. This encourages people to get to know 
                          one another or get better acquainted - make connections 
                          - and learn about themselves, each other, or the topic 
                          being discussed.

                        This book provides strategies 
                        for personal and executive coaches on how to build a practice. 
                        But it also contains some valuable information on how 
                        to look at your personal life and business in a different 
                        way. Sandra Davis, ECO Managing Partner and Coaching lead 
                        wrote a chapter on the Gifts of Silence that provides 
                        valuable tips about how to listen to and learn from your 
                        life.
