Facilitators Presence

Sean Blair — 2019-07-23T09:40:26+01:00

I watched another facilitator run a session at a conference, time seemed to be passing faster than he might have planned and he began to be increasingly unhappy at the pace, with ever more forceful urges to ‘speed-up’, and ‘move on’. ...A mantra we love at ProMeet is “Facilitate the people not the process”, this reminds us that the people are more important than the planned process and that workshop process should always change if it is not meeting the needs of the people. ...

Very good piece of reading Sean, I enjoyed it a lot 👍🏼 Next to experience and awareness, this has also much to do with emotional and situational intelligence of the facilitator, I believe. https://t.co/z4R8lBGF9V

Listening - and how to improve it

Sean Blair — 2017-06-30T08:41:08+01:00
First we introduce an idea that there are five levels of listening we use day-to-day and especially in meetings. Next we explain how LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® uses three modes of communication that results in higher levels of listening. Finally, for facilitators familiar with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, we share how to help people listen and understand even more fully.

10 reasons you'll love Slido

Sean Blair — 2017-03-27T08:59:28+01:00
There are many audience interaction tools and technologies out there, but the one I think is the best (after having used a few) is Slido. ...Slido questions allow participants to ask questions when they arise (not just in the Q&A) and allow participants to ask difficult questions anonymously. ...Above all else the Slido team are a pleasure to do business with, values driven people who believe audiences should have a voice and events should be participative.

SeriousWork - Book Preface

Sean Blair — 2017-01-05T13:42:58+00:00
The serious play story began in 1996 when Institute for Management Development (IMD) professors Johan Roos and Bart Victor created the "serious play" concept and process as a way to enable managers to describe, create and challenge their views of their business. ...Roos and Victor presented their early ideas in a short article published by IMD in 1998 entitled "In Search for Original Strategies: How About Some Serious Play?" ...At the same time, Johan Roos and Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen established the research effort at the aptly named 'Imagination Lab', a Swiss think tank that between 2001-2006 produced 74 research papers, many journal articles and 4 books.

On becoming a Certified™ Professional Facilitator (CPF)

Sean Blair — 2016-12-12T17:11:32+00:00
It was a good opportunity to learn from and experience other facilitators tools and methods and get oral and written feedback from other Certified™ Professional Facilitators (CPF's) on what they had seen and experienced of my strengths and learning edges. ...I'd recommend other facilitators to go through the IAF CPF process, for me it was a positive experience that will bring lasting benefits. And in a time where all kinds of organisations need to build bridges, there has never been a greater need for the kinds of outcomes professional facilitators create with the subtle art of facilitation.

New Book: Serious Work

Sean Blair — 2016-11-05T07:50:30+00:00
The authors take time to explain things in a way that doesn't patronise the reader... this is useful and more importantly provides a practical structure that any facilitator will value. ..."I am a certified facilitator of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® materials and methodology, and have used the this approach for over 3 years. ... I highly recommend this book to anyone curious about the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® materials and methodology and those who are certified facilitators looking for a valuable resource guide."

ProMeet. A 2016 Facilitation Impact Award Winner

Sean Blair — 2016-10-12T09:19:43+01:00
Sean has expertly facilitated a quite fundamental change in the way we think about ourselves and the way we conduct business that is having a positive effect throughout the College and not only within the SMT. ...The work over 12 months helped the team identify the positive and negative behaviours then though use or adoption of new meeting tools, including LEGO® Serious Play®, Dialogue and the ProMeet system the team learnt to communicate more openly. Sean Blair said: "The senior manager team at BHASVIC that included Shirley-Ann Brookes-Mills, Tarquin Grossman, Jutta Knapp, James Moncrieff, Keith Murphy and of course Chris Thompson were a brilliant team to work with.

Clean Language Ice Breaker

Sean Blair — 2016-09-16T08:36:14+01:00
Clean Language questions do not carry assumptions, opinions or pre-suppositions, the questions often evoke answers that include metaphors, and exploring these symbols or metaphors with further clean questions can provide rich and expansive dialogue. This week, I used clean language question as a warm up exercise, and asked a group of 15 participants, 'When you are at your best in workshops, you are like what'? ...The exercise provided a participatory beginning the the workshop, and helped us all understand the conditions that helped us be at our best.

Some of those people should watch you at work - professional, firm, authoritative, gracious and focused on the outcome we wanted, which was to have a senior team of executives and governors sharing ambition and direction. I confess that when you and I first met I wasn't immediately sure that Lego Serious Play would be the right tool for our team. You quickly gained my trust and I'm absolutely delighted that, having listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve, you made such persuasive arguments for the approach.

Dialogue - A proposal

Sean Blair — 2015-09-16T18:36:07+01:00
In our modern culture men and women are able to interact with one another in many ways: they can sing dance or play together with little difficulty but their ability to talk together about subjects that matter deeply to them seems invariably to lead to dispute, division and often to violence. ...Similarly, if a group is able to suspend such feelings and give its attention to them then the overall process that flows from thought, to feeling, to acting-out within the group, can also slow down and reveal its deeper, more subtle meanings along with any of its implicit distortions, leading to what might be described as a new kind of coherent, collective intelligence. ...However, this too can be overcome if the participants are helped from the very beginning to realize that considerations of such subjects can prove essential to the well-being of the organization and can in turn help to increase the participants self-esteem along with the regard in which he or she may be held by others.

How to make a serious LEGO movie

Sean Blair — 2015-07-29T10:46:24+01:00
To film in this way I used a Logitech C930 webcam, a 20m USB Cable, Quicktime player (to record, with a few helpful hints) plus a few lego bricks, black gaffer tape and a range of mini-figures. ...This approach seems better able to get into the story of the model, plus when the feed is simultaneously projected onto a large screen a large group can see the story at the same time. ...

Lego Serious Play. A remarkably adult way of working

Sean Blair — 2015-07-18T10:42:14+01:00
I love this comment because it challenges the negative perceptions that inevitably arise with a process that contains the words “LEGO” and “Play”. Of course sometimes traditional style meetings are appropriate and post-it notes and flip charts, used well, help teams create the results they seek. But next time you need to get serious thinking on a complex systemic issue, then maybe its time to use a remarkably adult toolkit?

Insights using Lego Serious Play

The Mighty Power Of The Humble Gridcard

Sean Blair — 2015-04-17T11:38:37+01:00
By asking everyone to write their view on a gridcard at the same time, they democratise meetings and allow every voice to be heard. ...It can be hard, especially in larger meetings, to focus everyones attention on the same thing at the same time, Gridcards, and their wall based home, a wallchart, help unify participants energy and attention, to think-together, on the same thing at the same time. ...As a meeting or workshop progresses, and a wall fills with ideas, suggestions, insights, plans, decisions, actions and learning, groups report feeling a sense of satisfaction that their work together has created visible progress on the matter at hand.

10 Ways To (Politely) Get Someone To Shut Up

Sean Blair — 2015-03-13T10:33:13+00:00
In facilitated workshop (as the facilitator), move ever closer to the person talking over time, and slowly come more into their field of vision, bringing their attention to you and your body language and your gestures to close or conclude. ...Contract with the group that a projected (and visible to all) count down clock will mark the end of a presentation, and that when the countdown reaches zero, everyone should applaud, regardless of if they have finished or not. ...If all else fails, pass round a box of ear plugs (or as a man I knew called them, “Shut the F*** Up Plugs” ) as a visible sign that enough is enough.

What is Focused Discussion? (ORID)

Sean Blair — 2015-01-12T11:24:29+00:00
The purpose of focused discussion is to help take a diverse group with a different ideas, feelings, insights, observations, interpretations and action logics to an informed consensus about how to act. This method is informed by business theorist Chris Argyris’s work on advocacy and inquiry by moving participants though steps on the so called ‘ladder of inference’ together. Progressing though these four steps also help’s people with different learning styles and actions logics engage with the ‘truth’ as they see it, creating a collective sense of understanding and implying decisions or actions that take into account all views of facts, feelings and interpretations.

Subject: Thank you Sean

A highly participative leadership event, that invited all our senior leaders to talk with each other, listen to their different points of view and in doing so gain a deeper appreciation that as a leadership community, we have common problems. ...The leaders liked your facilitation style, inviting inquiry, (through the use of open questions) without setting the expectation of a right / wrong answer, the process of the gridcards / use of the ORID model, to help focus on our leadership priorities and your excellent adherence to time keeping. On a personal level, I would like to thank you for your professionalism and flexibility, it was definitely a new experience (for all of us) working with you and I hope we can continue our collaboration in the future.

it would also tell participants that this is not a traditional congress where they get spoken at for 3 days, but a congress that invited their heartfelt participation right from the start, and gave permission to think, work and act in new ways. ...My experience of making music to help people exercise also suggested that if properly planned we might be able to deliver three interactive singing ‘energisers’ (one on each day of the congress), but also make a final mixed and mastered track that featured participants singing and would become the anthem on the congress. ...My heartfelt thanks goes to: Saska at ISCA and Sean at ProMeet for placing their faith in us, to my good friend and colleague Tom Currie, the team onsite who worked so hard to make the event happen, and to all those who sang and moved with us in Rome.

“Sean has transformed the way I am approaching a new piece of work - helping the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell sector to develop a vision and roadmap for the next 10 years. ...His supportive approach and skilful questioning were essential in pushing me to think more deeply and creatively about the outcomes I hoped to achieve, and he brought lots of great ideas to our discussions about how we might achieve those outcomes. ...His focus on enabling change rather than 'just' facilitating a workshop is really refreshing, and the Promeet tools he has developed both help to ensure clarity, and to ensure that the outputs of an event are professionally captured and disseminated.”

The group had every individual view written on gridcards and mapped on the wallchart to refer back too, to help them decide which of many positions was the most important. </article> <article> <h1>A Short (and personal) History Of Leading Change</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-09-04T09:29:05+01:00</p> At the time Kotter published I was a director of the Design Council and we looked to Kotter’s ideas to help us think about restructuring the organisation to better fit the vision and strategy that we had inherited after the Sorrell Review. ...To be fair to Kotter, in 2012 he gave his model a spring clean and added a couple of extra ideas to his original thinking, but his 8 step model is still the back bone of his account of leading change. ...What stood out in this account of leading change were the ideas that vision might be living (and therefore evolving, growing) and that strategy might be emergent, (and therefore able to change). </article> <article> <h1>What is Strategic Illustration?</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-09-01T14:47:33+01:00</p> It is also useful to keep plans highly visible, and in helping teams regularly be guided by and held accountable to agreed plans, and just as importantly in the fast changing world share learning from plans that seem quickly redundant and update plans easily. But wallchart full of gridcards does not summarise a vision, plan or strategy visually and some believe that working in pictures, especially on tasks that require creative or innovative approaches helps groups engage the creative visual side of the brain, aiding creative thinking. ...As well as encouraging creative thinking, the ability of strategic illustrations to live on and be a constant reminder of what’s important is a very helpful way of having goals, strategies and visions that live on day to day, something not likely in a chunky word document. </article> <article> <h1>Scales of Agreement - A Team Decision Making Tool</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-08-21T15:34:58+01:00</p> Scales of agreement is a useful tool for quickly testing decisions and understanding responses to ideas or proposals, ensuring all views are heard (which is not the case in much decision making). ...Invite each person to write on the gridcard the position they take in relation to the idea, proposal or decision, and write a question or comment that relates to their level of agreement. ...The clusters will report where the collective view of the group is in relation to the idea, proposal or decision, and the questions and the comments will shed valuable insight on the decision in hand. </article> <article> <h1>Kind Words</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-08-20T17:04:11+01:00</p> “I strongly recommend Sean for his expert skills in facilitating positive and meaningful discussions. Recently Sean enabled some very deep and meaningful strategic conversations amongst our senior team. Sean was able to interpret the brief quickly and accurately, and delivered exactly what was specified and more. </article> <article> <h1>Photos - Canal And River Trust Workshop - July 2013</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-07-31T11:36:34+01:00</p> Thanks to Caroline Killeavy - Head of Community Engagement at the Canal and River Trust for permission to publish these photos. </article> <article> <h1>What Does The Leader Believe?</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-07-02T11:37:12+01:00</p> Take a minute out to and try to observe or understand what’s really really motivating the actions of the meeting leader. How do they fair with our core belief? What’s really going on? </article> <article> <h1>The Problem of 'Catch Ups'</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-06-28T10:53:22+01:00</p> They had a weekly team meeting where the main agenda item was ‘catch ups’ - a time to update each other about progress in the last week. ...Interestingly the occasional presence of the senior leader in these meetings made them worse, as those who wanted to impress the boss took ever longer periods of time to set out in great detail all they had done so as to illustrate what good team members they were. ...The meeting facilitator (they could take it in turns) could invite all participants to fill out one gridcard with a fat pen (meaning about 20 words) on progress. </article> <article> <h1>How To Write Meeting Objectives</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-06-19T12:55:59+01:00</p> Clear objectives are the reason for meeting, ideally the specific meeting objectives should connect obviously to the organisations purpose and strategic objectives. Well thought through objectives are more than half the work in planning an effective meeting, a clear objective will imply the meeting process, the way participants will engage with the subject at hand. ...Use the list of good verbs on the objectives method card to make sure you have sharp meeting objectives. </article> <article> <h1>Photos - Thames Valley Housing - April 2013</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-05-28T14:53:13+01:00</p> Here are just a couple of photos from one of the training sessions. </article> <article> <h1>Move On. Move On!</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-05-27T17:38:59+01:00</p> Offer the use of MOMO a request or suggestion, not as a given and propose you try it in this meeting to learn about keeping meetings moving and on topic. ...- Insist that it is used without malice, and frame MOMO as a way to help a good pace in the meeting and for participants know that their point has been made and they have been heard and understood. - Suggest that if anyone has the urge to call MOMO, they try to call MOMO on behalf of everyone in the room, there is no point in moving on, if 90% of participants have not yet understood what is being said. </article> <article> <h1>How To Scan Gridcards</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-05-17T11:59:00+01:00</p> The best way to stack cards after a meeting is to start at the left side of the wallchart (the objectives end) and take the cards of top to bottom, ensuring the card on the top of the stack is also the card that described the task. ...It automatically scan and stores PFD stacks where you dictate, and by default names the cards using operating system settings. e.g. 2012_06_17_12_00_15. ...After the cards have been scanned, renamed and stored on a server, it’s good practice to share the location of the cards with the people who came to the meeting. </article> <article> <h1>9 Out Of 10 People Daydream In Meetings</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-04-18T12:10:00+01:00</p> In addition to 90% of people daydreaming in meetings, Dr Donald Wetmore, founder of the Productivity Institute provides these facts: ...• Managers spend over 10 hours a week in meetings, and the majority say more than half that time is wasted ...Historical precedent, the pervasiveness of poor meeting habits and the failure of leadership development to address this problem are the reasons that poor meetings take place and day dreaming happens. </article> <article> <h1>Evaluation Of ProMeet</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-03-16T11:57:00+00:00</p> A couple of years ago, I was asked to run ProMeetings at the Department for Work and Pensions and the Ministry of Justice. ...82% of participants thought the participatory meeting method is better than the traditional way of meeting. ...The wallchart and gridcard visual system gained near unanimous support for helping the meeting’s structure, focus, progress and record, as well as aiding full participation. </article> <article> <h1>Photos - RSA Workshop</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-03-13T11:54:23+00:00</p> (null) </article> <article> <h1>Photos - University of the Arts London Workshop</h1> <p>Sean Blair — 2013-02-13T12:19:32+00:00</p> (null) </article> </main></body></html>
