Hi there!! I'm in the (exciting) process of building my website. In order to articulate what my expectation are, I need to send over some references. What I like in terms of (my examples in brakets): - structure (https://www.mischiefmakers.co/trainings/skill-up-your-team) - design (https://theschoolof.design) - colours & animation (https://www.hibrittni.com) Please share your faves, I really need the inspiration:) It can be something out of the facilitation world! Thank yoooou

Just the other day, I read my son a bedtime story called "Mei and the Butterfly." Mei really wanted a pet, and one day, she found a cocoon with a small butterfly inside. The mere thought of the beautiful butterfly emerging filled Mei's heart with happiness. After a while, the butterfly began to struggle to break free from the cocoon. Seeing its struggle, Mei cut the cocoon with scissors in an attempt to help. However, the small creature's wings weren't quite strong enough to fly just yet. During my workshops, I sometimes feel the urge to "cut the cocoon," particularly during the ideation phase. I see exciting solutions for the challenges we're addressing and want to grab a sharpie and start jotting down ideas on post-its. However, I resist this temptation. Just like Mei, I've learned the hard way that pushing people too much before they're ready only leads to frustration. Participants get excited about ideas during the workshop, but once it's over, the reality sets in, and they realise they can't implement them. Note to self: Meet your participants where they're at. If a seemingly "basic" idea like implementing a weekly status update arises in a team collaboration session, consider it an indicator that it's what they need and are prepared for. Don't dismiss it just because it may not seem "groundbreaking."

Hi guys! I really need your help:) Thank to my outstanding content strategy on LinkedIn:))) I got a client that asked me to run a 4 h session (focused on collaboration, team building etc) for 150 - 200 ppl (I don't know the exact number just yet). What format / exercises do you suggest that I could easily facilitate on my own? More context: these are people from all over the country, with different management / collaboration styles (it's more of a franchise model) so the annual meeting is about getting them on the same page, making them feel like a team. Thank you sooo much:)

Hi there! As I noticed that there is interest in the community about this topic, I would love to create a thread dedicated to great resources about Facilitative Leadership. I'll go first: Douglas Ferguson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMF8WrY6ScY&feature=youtu.be. Who's next?:)

Watched Jonathan's "1 Hour Innovation Workshop - Lightning Decision Jam" on YouTube and was going to try to implement it tomorrow, as I have a team offsite with 36 members, a team that I inherited a few weeks ago. Was going to try to run an LDJ to address a general feeling that team members are disconnected with each other and other partners, working in silos. Was going to try 6 tables of 6. However, question is that do we start with "one" HMW, such as "How might we increase collaboration within the team and with partners/stakeholders?" Do we all work independently/jointly on the same HMW? On different HMW statements?
