I have previously shared how to use chatGPT to prepare for a workshop (link in comments). Now, I want to share how one might use it **during a workshop**. Just open the pictures and scroll through them :)) Some conclusions: ✅ ChatGPT as a co-facilitator you can resort to throughout the workshop. ✅ Prepare the robot beforehand and give it context, so it can help you during breaks ✅ Keep the chatGTP window open and have a two-way conversation, sharing back your own learnings along the way ✅ I cannot wait to see the amazing abilities AI will continue to bring facilitators How about you? What experiments have you been doing with AI and facilitation?

I love to facilitate discourse around difficult conversations, equity and continuous improvement. I come from the teaching and learning and leadership sector and recently started a consulting and coaching org. My core values are empathy, authenticity and shared leadership (collaboration). If you resonate with anything that I've shared, or are in the area... LET'S CONNECT!

I have a client that I'm facilitating a 2 day planning workshop for. We ran an initial co-design session online last night to get an idea of the context and priorities. The team feels disjointed and like they aren't going anywhere. There is a lack of practical leadership and people are feeling bogged down in admin and meetings that don't get progress. Their board chair stated "We need better personal relationships so we can discuss without getting upset" They feel like the team creates extra work instead of creating efficiencies and a supportive environment. (folks are working locally and this team is a regional approach which is additional to their core work - locally things are great, regionally not so much) Project clarity is required, role clarity is required and a hearty amount of team / trust building. I'd love to hear from the hive mind how you might approach something like this and what tried and tested activities you might use in this situation to get the team on track and moving the dial in the things that matter. Thanks in advance.

I would love to know from the facilitation community here does this sound like a good sound decision to leave my project manager role and move to facilitation? I have been quite dicey on this.
