I've started using the dynamics in technical training sessions where attention is hard to keep. Within minutes the group transforms: more participation, more presence and the session gains rhythm. Worth every dollar.
100 group dynamics ready to use. Born from over 300 corporate events. No filler, no textbook theory.
If you've recognized yourself in any of these three situations, this book will solve the problem.
You prepare the content, you show up motivated, and 15 minutes in three people are already replying to emails. You need to break that pattern in the first 10 minutes.
Feedback is polite ("useful", "well-structured"), but no one remembers the content three weeks later. What's missing is the experience that leaves a mark — not more theory.
You improvise between two meetings, you Google the night before, you mash up ideas from five different sources. You want one library — ordered and reliable — that you can trust.
Every entry in the book includes objective, duration, group size, materials and the step-by-step. Here are 6 of the 100. Tap each card to see the detail.
Each person folds a sheet of paper with their eyes closed, following the same instructions. The result is chaos — except for yours, a perfect airplane. The difference is one invisible detail no one noticed at the start. Within seconds, it shows the importance of starting from a shared vision.
A physical and emotional trust dynamic where each participant exposes themselves to the group in a controlled but profound way. It turns cold teams into cohesive groups in a single session.
You ask the group to close their eyes. You describe how they're holding a helium balloon in one hand and a heavy rock in the other. When they open their eyes, everyone has one hand up and the other down without having decided. It demonstrates in real time how visualization conditions the body.
You take the group out of the room. You scramble chairs, papers and objects. You bring them back with no instructions. Within seconds the real leaders emerge — not the ones on the org chart. It reveals how your team behaves when formal structure disappears.
In pairs, one person moves and the other reproduces every gesture like a mirror. Then they switch roles. Then conversation is added. It trains the non-verbal listening that separates an average communicator from an exceptional one.
At the end of the session, each participant writes a concrete commitment and declares it in front of the group. The public declaration triggers a psychological consistency mechanism — it triples the likelihood of follow-through compared to a private commitment.

I've been an executive coach for twelve years. I thought I'd seen every dynamic out there. It surprised me: there are several exercises here I didn't know, and I've already added them to my practice.
I lead a team of 14 people. In two months I've replaced four status meetings with sessions using dynamics from the book. The team now looks forward to Monday's session.
"People don't remember what they're told. They remember what they live."
Xavi Cabezas holds a degree in Marketing and has spent over a decade facilitating corporate events for brands like IBM, Google, Amazon, Mercedes-Benz, Lego, HP and Accenture. He has appeared on Movistar+, TVE and Mediaset.
His method blends stage magic, applied psychology and technology to design experiences people remember for months. This book is the first time he has put down in writing the exact 100 dynamics he uses.
You'll have 8 proven icebreakers that work even with resistant groups. No one checks their phone during the first hour.
Each dynamic is designed to create a specific moment (surprise, vulnerability, insight) that turns the session into an active memory — not another forgotten slide.
You'll stop improvising the night before. Open the index by category, pick the dynamic based on time and group size, and run it without surprises.
The end goal. That six months from now someone tells you "that session with the letter to yourself changed something for me." That's what this book buys.
It's a 312-page PDF, optimized for mobile, tablet and desktop reading. After payment you'll receive an instant download link in your email — you can start reading in 2 minutes.
Yes. Each dynamic includes a literal step-by-step ("tell the group: …", "place the chairs like this: …") designed so a first-time facilitator can run it without freezing. Many readers are leaders who don't consider themselves facilitators.
30-day full refund. If you buy the book, read it, run a dynamic and it doesn't work — or you simply aren't convinced — you send an email and we refund the $47. No forms, no questions, no excuses. We carry the risk.
Each dynamic explicitly states whether it's in-person, online or hybrid. Of the 100, 41 work as-is on Zoom / Teams, 28 are hybrid, and 31 require in-person (the ones that use physical space). Plenty of variety for any format you facilitate.
One-time payment, lifetime access. If we publish a second edition with new dynamics, current buyers get it free. Never a subscription.
