Hello Everyone, I am happy to be a new member of this community. I am currently working as a Global Product Launch Manager at an Austrian lighting manufacturer with +6000 employees. In the latest months I have been enjoying the workshop facilitator role for our go to market process development workshops. In this way I have discovered that I have a talent for this subject, that I could develop, so I've started following AJ & Smart posts, which I always find interesting. I am looking forward to interact with you and learn from each other's experiences and use cases.

Hi All, I'm just in the process of working through a lot of content and working out who I might want to work with. My background is mainly in medium-large corporate organisations but smaller creative organisations have recently been a much better fit for me in my project management work. Does anyone have experience of working with smaller organisations? If so, do you have any insight into how needs and appetites of the different organisation types/sizes differ so I can try to direct my messaging in the right way to those smaller, more creatively driven organisations? Thanks so much!

I have been invited to co-facilitate a teen workshop on the above topic👆. The workshop is upon me in a day. And I thought I should share, I welcome suggestions. If you have facilitated with teenagers before, I will be glad to learn from you too on any activity appropriate for the group. Thank you 🙏

Hey Legends! When I'm designing a workshop or program I've got a huge amount of activities that fall under different topics that I could pull into a workshop and use. Probably like most people here. Right now I just keep them haphazardly in google docs, as part of course outlines etc. I thought of a new activity this morning that doesn't have a natural place and that got me thinking "surely there's a better way to manage this". So my question is - does anyone use miro, trello or something else to store/manage discreet activities that may be used across topics? Happy to provide an example if this doesn't make sense.

Let's accept it - workshops not always go as planned, and we are always dealing with 'oh-no' situations (at least me!) So I thought to share and also learn from everyone's failures but with the mindset of 'failing forward' - every mistake can turn into a stepping stone for success in the future. I'll start with one learning from this week, and I'd love to hear your lessons learnt too! [plan] In an online workshop where participants from various countries were expected, I did an ice-breaking exercise where I shared a screen of a white world map and asked colleagues to put a stamp on where they are at the moment. [what happened] it took forever for some participants to find out how to stamp and annotate on zoom, while some got it immediately. So it wasn't smooth. Lots of scribbles on the white board too. And, actually majority of them were from the same countries so the activity didn't really serve the purpose of showing the diversity of participants. It fell flat and made it a not-so-cool start of the workshop. [lessons] - keep the technology super simple, especially if you aren't sure of the level of familiarity - have some back-up questions/activities, in case one question didn't spark interest,
