Pip’s Practical Prompts Newsletter
Sent by Charles Burdett
Leadership
Push to grow
Push your team to go beyond the satisfactory.
Challenge them to take ownership of their work and work alongside them to facilitate this process.
Storytelling
Stand up
Don't try to be funny.
The best humour arises organically from everyday life's relatable flaws and frustrations.
Your audience is more likely to laugh at a story about your car breaking down than a manufactured set-up and punchline.
Facilitation
Exploration is key
Facilitation should provide a space for your participants to discover new solutions themselves.
Limit your lectures to less than 10 minutes, and give time for questions and discussions.
One of the few newsletters I look forward to.
