 Wouldn't it be nice if we could just unscrew our arms, throw them off to the side, and reattach them when we are done presenting? Anne Warfield Name the most comfortable, yet most damaging, presentation stance you can take. Yes, "Figleaf" is correct. |
Many have asked to see the Figleaf article again. Enjoy!

| Effective Meeting Facilitation: Juggling Your Awareness |
Facilitators, keep these 6 "balls" in play:
|
- Who is talking, who is silent, and who is expressing themselves non-verbally? Who has been heard, and who needs to be heard?
- What is going on, both on the surface and underneath? What are the "vibes?" On another level, what time is it? What needs to happen before the meeting ends?
- When is it time to break? When is it appropriate for you to intervene in the meeting's process?
- Why do you feel you must intervene?
- How can the group's work best be accomplished?
- What if...the meeting outcomes are not met this time around? What if a particular person hasn't yet provided input? What if you decided to take a whole new path to solving the problem?
If juggling the six balls sounds challenging, it's because it is. The only way to keep those balls in the air is to practice.
Improve your organization's facilitation expertise with a workshop from Guila.
We now use Guila's 'outcome-based agenda' for every meeting across our division. I have seen great improvements in meeting productivity and focus.
