Greetings everyone, I'm Felipe Espinosa, hailing from the sunny shores of South Florida, USA. I'm thrilled to announce my participation in the upcoming Agile International Conference (AIC), where I'll be diving into the crucial art of facilitation. My focus? How mastering this skill can propel leaders to new heights. For my session, I aim to strike a balance between lightheartedness and depth. I want attendees to walk away both entertained and enlightened. Most importantly, I see this as a chance to gauge interest in facilitation services among fellow leaders in my region. Here's where I could use your expertise: 1. Suggestions on infusing my presentation with humor and engagement while still delivering valuable insights. I'm keen on leaving the audience wanting more without revealing all my cards. 2. Recommendations for reference materials that align with my topic. I'm eager to enhance my presentation with credible sources and compelling anecdotes. A heartfelt thank you in advance for sharing your insights and time with me. Let's make this journey towards mastering facilitation an enriching one together. Warm regards, Felipe Espinosa
Hi Add graphics and connect it to story. turn yourself on otherside and empathize audience as if are sitting down stage what is so grabbing for you? Ask probing questions. Connect your content with audience through asking questions on real situations. Fill stuff with funny and interesting gestures, you may walk differently with whatever funniest style you want make add different vocals/ sounds to your questions. leave them on some serious pondering note for which they need you to explore answer. Hope it helps
I love my power of building connections and art of delivery, the way I engage them to be engaged with them. My profession is my passion so I enjoy challenges nothing I dislike in it. More challenging situations are always the most experiencing one ❤️
Hello! Anyone from LATAM/Mexico here? I want to start getting clients as a facilitator and would like any perspectives on price ranges for LATAM as a beginner. I will offer a few free workshops for a community I am part of to get proof-points and with that I would like to start offering paid workshops at a reasonable price.
Hi dear better connect people at linkedin from L&D department of different companies from the area and build some connections those can be very helpful also along with all other tips from different facilitators.
Hi Everyone! Thanks in advance for any ideas or thoughts you have on my current challenge. I am working with a small team where there is significant conflict between two managers. I have been brought in to help the team (n=5) figure out what is working and what isn't and how do we move forward? I plan to use the sailboat exercise to better understand their world and it will enable those team members that feel shut down to have a voice – I love this exercise. I have completed individual interviews with each team member to better understand their challenges. All have an issue with their senior manager. They are however all keen (including the senior manager) to attend the workshop because the conflict in the system is causing so much grief and poor performance it cannot continue. There are also members who have reported mental health challenges as a result of the conflict and one manager has ADHD. I mention this because these have been contentious challenges with the senior manager who feels they have accommodated these challenges but "at what point do you have to have the poor performance" discussion. My question is regarding the heightened emotion within the team. Have any of you facilitated a session with a team that is in significant conflict and has the potential for members to shut down or react during the session? Any specific prep/set-up? Have you set any specific expectations? Handling reactive responses during the session that have worked/not worked? I am a healthcare professional, so have a good idea of how to manage conflict, however I am reaching out to the group to get different perspectives that may help inform my workshop next week. Thanks so much Leanne
I recently conducted a workshop on conflict management and finally the team hugged each other and cried alot. That was one of my most memorable experiences I ever had. Now I am doing their coaching.
