Connection Before Content–How Great Sessions Begin

Before we ask people to brainstorm, problem-solve, make decisions, or dive into the agenda, there’s something else we need to do first: HELP THEM CONNECT.

How do you create that connection quickly, authentically, and without resorting to the dreaded “tell us an interesting fact about yourself”?

For this Friday Facilitator Forum, we’re turning the room into a facilitator mastermind. Come ready to show and tell one of your favorite ways to help a group connect — an activity, question, ritual, structure, prop, or something wonderfully unexpected.

We’ll try a few together, swap ideas, and tap into the collective brilliance and experience in the room. You’ll leave with fresh approaches you can add to your facilitator toolkit — and, naturally, we’ll start by getting connected ourselves.

Bring an idea. Steal an idea. Leave better equipped to get the party started.
