Who is interested in a meetup in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 in the near future?
Who would like to meet somewhere in the Netherlands in the spring? I think it would be nice to meet up with anyone who would like to chat and exchange experiences with a group of people. Let me know in the comments and I'll post a poll with some options for a day and location 🤓.

Hello from Belgium. If allowed and if not too far away... I'd like to join as well 🤩
❓Question Time-What's the Value of Facilitation❓
Helloooo Facilitators 👋 This is a question that comes up A LOT and I would love to hear your answers to it. What's the value of Facilitation? In other words, why do teams need Facilitation/Facilitators? It's so important to be able to answer this question because it will help you convince potential clients of the value you can add to their teams as a Facilitator. Leave your answers in the comments. Looking forward to getting a discussion going on this. Rebecca 💟

From my own experience: 1. You often hold a mirror before the people you work with, to challenge their assumptions 2. You bring the "outside-in view" 3. You bring structure in an ontherwise often chaotic situation 4. You bring a New Way of Thinking/mindset to people 5. You often give the more introvert people a change to contribute in a noisy world 6. You get the chance to bring the best up in people 7. AND all of the above while having fun ;-)
Team presentation dynamic

@Kerri Price Hahaha! Thanks for mentioning me. It really is a very simple exercise with a "big" effect. It takes the edge off when people are a bit nervous to present themselves. And of course, I give the good example by starting first and telling them I play in a ridiculous small band, playing the trombone.
Innovation culture
Hi there !! ✌️ Have you ever worked on the implementation of a real "innovation culture" in an organization? There are elements that seem to me to be essential for this to be possible, such as - communicating clearly about the process - encouraging experimentation - allowing failure - setting up pilot projects that will serve as examples - having the support of the management Do you see any other components that are essential to the successful deployment of a culture of innovation ? I would love to hear from you. 😊

These 5 different parts are to be supported to get some room to do nice things. We use these to test the "organization readiness" before we start up.

@Teddy Wilhelm Dillier It is actually based on an internally developped questionnaire. We use it to visualize the "innovation readiness" of our clients.
Let's talk about Icebreakers
Sometimes when people hear the word 'icebreaker' they cringe or might feel super anxious about taking part in one. Yes, icebreakers can make you feel a bit awkward initially, but they are proven to help enhance relationships and encourage creativity. 'Icebreakers can help increase team bonds, boost performance and creativity'—Harvard Business School study Integrating icebreakers into your workshops or meetings is a great way to get everyone relaxed and ready to participate. But how do you choose the right ones so that you avoid those dreaded awkward silences? Here are my Top 2 Icebreakers that are easy to implement (in-person or online): 1. My First Job Ask everyone in the group to write down their name, their first job, and what they learned from that job. Then go round the group and have everybody read theirs out. 2. Pointless Questions Prepare a few fun questions ahead of the workshop, then go round the room and have everybody take turns answering the questions. It’s as simple as that—you don’t even need to write anything down! Here are some question suggestions to get you started: - If you could invite a celebrity over for dinner, who would it be and why? - What is your most prized possession and why? - You can have an unlimited supply of one thing for the rest of your life. What do you choose? Here are some more icebreakers for you to explore! What's another great icebreaker that I can add to my list?

I regularly use the question: "Draw something about yourself, that no one of your colleagues knows already." This indeed urges them 1. To draw, 2. To speak in group and to 3. Get to know their teammembers a bit more.
