Oh hey, you’ve found it, you’re here! This is my happy place, where I share how (and why) to go beyond the Q&A in workshopping (also known as collaborative sessions 😉) and facilitation.
Workshops should not suck the life out of people.
Great workshops are energy-givers not energy-drainers.
Meaningful sessions pull people in, not push them through.
The best workshops borrow from everywhere.
Epic facilitation pulls from the edges.
Powerful facilitation evolves through experimentation.
Unforgettable facilitation is shaped by wonder.
So why did I start this substack?
I have sat through way too many lifeless sessions.
I’ve experience more than my fair share of death-by-Power-Point.
I realized the best sessions don’t come from staying inside the walls of facilitation best-practices, they come from looking outside — to other topics, other industries, other places.
The most amazing things happen when we cross-pollinate; when we pull from everywhere.
At the end of the day, it all comes back to wonder.
Wonder…
↳ Makes us look twice, think twice, or even more.
↳ Keeps us asking questions, all the questions.
↳ Helps us look to those edges and further.
↳ Brings ideas from one world into another.
↳ Brings us happy accidents and more creative thought.
↳ Drives cross-pollination — pulling from everywhere!
