What Drink Are You Today?

What is it?

Everyone picks the drink that best represents their energy or mood today. Are you in triple espresso mode? Calm herbal tea? Freshly squeezed orange juice? The answers reveal how the team is arriving at the meeting in a fun, low-pressure way.

When to use it

• As an energy check-in at the start of any meeting
• To break the ice when nobody wants to speak first
• In long workshops as a fun break between blocks

How is this experience built?

1. A multiple choice slide with drink options
2. The visualization set to bar chart or pie chart to see how the team’s energy is distributed
3. Optionally, an open-ended response slide: “Why that drink today?”

Suggested options

• ☕ Triple espresso: I need this day to start already
• 🍵 Chamomile tea: I’m in zen mode
• 🧃 Orange juice: fresh and ready to go
• 🥤 Energy drink: a thousand things to do, let’s go
• 🍷 Glass of wine: I need it to be Friday
• 🫖 Green tea: calm but steady

Why it works

You’re not asking “how are you feeling?” — which can feel heavy. You’re asking what drink you are today, which is light, funny, and says exactly the same thing. It’s an indirect way to do an emotional check-in without anyone feeling like they have to share more than they want to.
