I seen it in action a few times at the d.school and always gets the energy up and everyone celebrating the winner. Works great with large groups and people who don't know each other well. Thanks @Jonathan Courtney - looked like a very fun gathering🤩

Hi @Temi K I like the idea of reviewing the mission and values of the organization as an opener. I like this liberating structure exercise - you could do it in groups, pairs or individually but the idea of using symbols to articulate their understanding of what images these words conjure for them is a great way to get creative juices flowing and have a shared understanding in a different way. Hope this is helpful:) Here is the link to the activity with an explantion: https://www.liberatingstructures.com/20-drawing-together/

Hi @Sigalit Mualem I love the idea of having fun and introducing children to a experience of problem solving. I actually worked with a framework called 'Girls Driving for a Difference'(google it) which was a workshop for middle school girls to find their leadership style. It was amazing to see them embrace their gifts and gaining some self-awareness on how they contribute to their team/class. So, go for it. BTW here is a list of icebreakers that you could definitely use with a class - I have seen the rock/paper/scissors work with large groups. Energizing and fun to celebrate wins for kids. Good Luck! https://uxdesign.cc/warm-ups-in-design-thinking-more-than-just-a-game-7f755fcc8497

@Rachel Way Seems we should do a workshop for this question 😉 As Coach, Consultant and Facilitator seem to have triggers for some who have had bad experiences...I did some playing in ChatGPT. I call myself a coach and a facilitator 😮 After a few prompts and then asking it to be more professional and attractive for LinkedIn potential clients, it came up with the following: "Certainly! Crafting descriptions that resonate well on LinkedIn for potential clients often involves a balance of professionalism, clarity, and intrigue. Here are some refined descriptions tailored for LinkedIn: 1. Conversational Maestro: Guiding dynamic discussions with finesse, I orchestrate collaborative symphonies of thought that harmonize diverse perspectives into beautifully resonant solutions. 2. Dialogue Virtuoso: As a seasoned facilitator, I specialize in curating engaging discussions that transform ideas into action. Let's orchestrate conversations that inspire, inform, and innovate together. 3.

Let's craft compelling narratives and shape the future together. 10.

@Rachel Way there is a lot to play with here. Not sure what title as some sound a little cheesy to me, but I love so many of the descriptions so I’ll be jotting down come words I love and see what happens / journal and draw to see what sticks. A cool starting point though. What about you?

@Stephen Morris I will be in London the week of March 11th - it would be great to meet other facilitators!
