Let’s talk about The Gallery Walk! If you’re looking for a way to get people chatting and sharing ideas, this workshop exercise is a great conversation starter. First off, it gets people out of their chairs and moving around, which instantly creates a more relaxed atmosphere. When participants are walking around and interacting with visual displays, they're more likely to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and engaging with each another. It’s a lot easier to chat in small groups while looking at something interesting than to sit quietly in a circle waiting for your turn to speak. The other great thing about the Gallery Walk is that it encourages diverse perspectives. Everyone sees things differently, and when people stop to discuss what they see, it often leads to deeper conversations. Lightbulb moments happen naturally as participants bounce ideas off each other. In the end, it’s not just about sharing opinions; it’s about building on each other’s insights and having meaningful discussions that everyone can learn from. I encourage people to bring things in on subsequent days and we build a bigger gallery as the class continues. By the last day, you’ve got a vibrant mix of ideas floating around and you've created a lively dialogue that probably wouldn’t have happened in a traditional sit-down format. So get curating! #TrainTheTrainer #FacilitationSkills #GalleryWalk #Icebreakers #TrainingTips #EngageYourAudience #InteractiveTraining #ProfessionalDevelopment #WorkshopIdeas #TeachingTechniques

💯 It’s not even a question. There is literally nothing that even comes close. It’s human nature to congregate, but necessary to thrive. But live experiences are more immersive, meaningful, productive, collaborative, intuitive for positive information sharing (seeing, sensing, and feeling), immediate, and more inspirational: magnetic elevating, and motivating - the list goes on. Any collective experience creates stronger bonds, stronger energy, and stronger memory. It’s the fuel of #brainmanagement.

After 3 years of working from home; hybrid working and / or 100% virtual training, training options returned to face-to-face sessions. All the seeds of new products, new services, revamped offerings came together in the most beautiful of ways. It is why I entitled this showreel: The Phoenix Will Rise - because life has taught me that where there is a will, there is a way. Patience and Persistence eventually pays off. #ThePhoenixWillRise #FaceToFaceTraining #HybridWork #VirtualTraining #NewBeginnings #RevampedServices #ProductLaunch #PersistencePaysOff #PatienceAndPersistence #BusinessResilience #EmbraceChange #InnovationAtWork #RiseAgain #BusinessGrowth #SuccessStory https://lnkd.in/g9prVGYu

This. Works. Every. Single. Time. Last week I was in Montreal for a 2 day focus group. At the end of day 1 Joshua McCutcheon (via zoom) and I finished the day with this magical reflection exercise. Ask everyone to write down (1 comment per stickie note) an AHA (what was the best idea today), a WTF (what did not make sense) and What if? (what if you could shoot for the moon?). Ask each participant to share an AHA and stick them on the wall. Follow with WTF and What if. It never fails how magical this engaging exercise is. It is a nice way to wrap up a day or a workshop - and you can even use the "What If's" for the start of day 2 or follow up activities. Voila! (Happy Summer) #designthinking #codesign #engagement
