Everything But Your Name

Everything But Your Name
Remote or in person

Introduce yourself completely. You may not say your name or your job.

Pairs introduce themselves for a minute without using their name or their job title, which removes the two things most people hide behind. What comes out instead is what they actually care about, and the room is noticeably different afterwards.
