- When you can't think of just one aspect about you or your life that you want to talk about for your Ice Breaker assignment, provide a summary of yourself and your life. Tell the audience a little about your work, your hobbies, your educational background and your family. Make it interesting by defining one common thread that seems to run through your life experiences over the years.
- Focus on defining moments in your life or key events that took you in a new direction in your life. Perhaps your family had pets that influenced your decision to become a veterinarian, or someone said something that resonated within you and inspired you to pursue a goal you hadn't seriously given a lot of thought to previously. Perhaps a series of decisions led you to your current location or to your decision to improve your public speaking skills.
- As a Toastmaster Ice Breaker speech, tell the audience who the role models were in your life and how they affected you. Perhaps a teacher brought out your love of history or a sports coach helped you gain confidence in your athletic skills. Explain how someone influenced you in some positive way that changed your life. Perhaps you had a volunteer Big Brother as a child. Finish by giving an example of how you try to be a role model for someone else in your life.
- Take some time to think back over your life before giving your Ice Breaker speech for a Toastmasters audience. Try to recall your most memorable moments. Talk about your most significant accomplishments, for example, or the most important family memories you've had and shared. You could share about a special occasion or describe your most embarrassing moment if you want to inject some humor into the speech.
