Music - how are you using it? ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ
In workshops and other group settings, I've found that using music as a separator of activities can be really helpful in getting people to transition from one activity to the next.
For example, to signal we are about to start a task like writing down our own individual thoughts on post-its, I will often put on some mellow background music to create a more focused atmosphere. That way, people aren't so inclined to jump right into conversations with one another and can take a few minutes to gather their thoughts.Then, when it's time for us to move on, I'll usually stop the music and invite everyone's attention back to the group.
Over time, music becomes a natural signal on what we are about to do next.It's amazing how something as simple as music can help people move seamlessly from one mode of thinking and working to another!
How are you using music in your facilitation practice?
