This is hard to capture on a journey map, so people often ignore it.
First, you need to get noticed. Then, you need to be memorable. Finally, you need to be available *when the user is ready*.
Messy? Kinda. Slow? Yep. True? 100%.

As a facilitator, you’re not there to teach the group.
You ensure they teach each other by fostering group discussions, sharing experiences, and facilitating knowledge exchange.

When you help create a product, you tend to value it more.
This is because of a cognitive bias called “The IKEA Effect” (IKEA lets you assemble your own furniture).

When your actions are in line with the kind of person you’d like to be, you’re living with radical intentionality.
The alternative is mindlessly moving through life, making choices based on others’ values.
So, the question is, what kind of person would you like to be?

Total confidence is a myth.
Want to know the difference between you and your confident-seeming colleague?
They're able to take action and project confidence, even if they're feeling terrified inside.
It's a skill that can be learnt through practice.

Active listening is an underrated skill in workshop facilitation.
You need to guide the flow of discussion but not at the cost of ignoring inputs from your participants.
Show your team member that you've considered their point before moving on to the next.

Nervous about your next workshop?
Did you know anxiety is physiologically identical to the feeling of excitement?
Try re-framing your anxiety as excitement.
Replace thoughts of ‘what if it goes wrong?’ with ‘what if it goes well?’
It's simple but effective.

There’s a magical force that makes teams more effective. It turbocharges learning, boosts creativity, and makes work more fun.
It’s called ‘psychological safety’.
@AmyCEdmonson
coined the term 24y ago, but many teams still don't feel as safe as they could.
Let's break it down.

This. A million times, this.
Hybrid workshops are so hard and I feel like all the fancypants office conference cameras and interactive boards and microphones just make it worse.
If hybrid, it’s got to be remote-first. & facilitated so carefully to compensate for body language only half the group experience.

When telling a story to an audience, use language that they'd use.
A unique turn of phrase or a slang term that the audience recognises will make your story more relatable.
And the most memorable stories are the ones we can relate to.

Most people make the same big mistake when running workshops.
They try to facilitate alone.
Done well, co-facilitation is often how the best workshops happen.
So how do you make co-facilitation work? Check out our guide.
