The building blocks of facilitation can be considered as quite practical, tangible things: workshops, agendas, exercises, timing, and tools. Underpinning these facilitation essentials, though, are intricate psychological and behavioural phenomena.This week’s episode is the perfect testament to that truth.Karen Schmidt – the founder of the international innovation community, ‘Over the Fence’ – joins me in this episode to discuss decision-making.In many organisations, decision-making can be more of a

Urban planning is the discipline of creating shared, public spaces. It could easily be mistaken for large-scale facilitation by design!Peter Munthe-Kaas can speak confidently for both disciplines, as a seasoned urban planner turned facilitator. He has such a unique perspective on what it means to create a beautiful, shared space and the missteps we can take in designing collaborative, communal experiences. I am so grateful that he was willing to share this perspective with me and the workshops work

So what happens when we introduce them to our facilitation practice?This week, I dive into ‘circle’ facilitation with Jonathan Hefter, the Head of Experience Design, Facilitation, & Training at Circl.es.We start by setting a mutual understanding of great facilitation; before diving into the complexities of holding judgements, learning to listen and centre others, and the physical and

LEGO Serious Play is an increasingly popular method of facilitation and one that we’ve explored previously on the podcast, but I wanted to dive into a little deeper and with a slightly more critical lens.I found the perfect person for the job - Sean Blair, a LEGO Serious Play trainer and facilitator and soon-to-be quadruple-published author on the topic. You could call him experienced in the subject…And, to my non-surprise, we had the most brilliant conversation. So brilliant, in fact, that I had to

2021/10/19

When it comes to workshops, we often talk about “making space” for people to express themselves creatively and authentically.It’s a metaphorical phrase, but there is a lot to be found in the more literal interpretation. And who better to explore both sides of that interpretation than Flor Ortelli - an architect-turned-facilitator? In this episode, we interrogate the impact physical spaces have on our creativity and collaboration, how to design spaces for collaboration, and why we should always

Chris Bent isn’t creative, he’ll happily admit.Chris Bent is also the founder of Piccles, one of the best creative platforms I’ve seen.If that doesn’t quite add up for you, the answer lies in collective drawing and its remarkable ability to help anyone and everyone communicate through creativity.Since accidentally discovering the power of collective drawing, Chris has taken it in his stride and founded Piccles. Now, he helps groups of all backgrounds and interests access deeper communication through

It was in the arid air of Burning Man that Edric Subur first felt Warmspace flicker in his mind and heart.Connecting deeply, sharing widely, and being radically – Edric wanted to capture the feeling of genuine understanding and connection and bottle it. Or, to be more accurate, automate it.Edric built, iterated, tweaked, and launched Warmspace – a tool that facilitates deep connection through guided video conversations – with that same desire still burning at its heart.Now, a year and a half after

Games are fun, silly, not based in reality…We can take our serious selves into games and embrace playfulness, but it’s a lot harder to take the playfulness back with us as we return to the ‘real world’.But what if we see that ‘real world’ as a game itself?What if we saw every interaction as a game?We could press certain buttons, move certain facets, and play with expectations and beliefs that change everything. When a meeting is a game, when an interview is a game, and when relationships are a game,

Co-facilitation feels like a wonderful, secret club.Those who’ve experienced successful co-facilitation understand the impact it has on outcomes, as well as the experience of participants and facilitators alike.Those who haven’t often look at it as a ‘nice to have’, rather than an essential tool in the facilitator’s toolkit.Shoba Chandran, co-owner of The Innovation Matrix and vastly-experienced facilitator, is firmly in the first group – and she’s eager to see more co-facilitation.It just so

Psychological safety is a bastion of facilitation, collaboration, and connection.But has it reached a tipping point?As the phrase permeates more corners of consultancy and the echelons of management, is it depreciating into another buzzword, losing its groundbreaking origins?Gustavo Razzetti, acclaimed workplace culture consultant, will gladly admit that this is a controversial topic, but there are few better equipped to address it – and that’s what we set out to do in this episode of workshops
