English term or phrase: corniness
Embrace the corniness.
Things like meeting icebreakers can feel silly, but they also tend to work in easing awkwardness and opening up new avenues of conversation.

Thank you in advance for your help!

el convencionalismo // la rutina social
Explanation:
Entiendo que en este caso "corniness" no tiene nada que ver con lo que entendemos por cursilería.
Al ser un término muy polisémico, como bien indica Javier, hay que traducirlo contextualmente. En este caso se refiere a los procedimientos estereotipados, poco originales y nada imaginativos que sin embargo resultan útiles a la hora de romper el hielo en una reunión.

Al tratarse de un título, se podría decir algo como:
- "Adopte el convencionalismo
- "Utilice los convencionalismos sociales"
- "Practique la rutina social"

banalidad, insustancialidad


Explanation:
De acuerdo con Javier y Beatriz, hay que traducirlo por el contexto. Estas son mis aportaciones. También en el día a día he oído "hablar del tiempo".
