This is what I focus on !
Talks
“This meeting was boring”.
“We wasted our time with this Kumbaya nonsense”.
“I need time to prepare and analyze on my own.”
This kind of feedback is hard to swallow but it proves one thing as a facilitator: there are times when you just don’t quite nail it with your audience.
What if it simply depends on your audience’s personality? What if, as facilitators, we have a perception bias and tend to design workshops targeting our own personality type?
In this workshop, we will observe and experiment facilitation techniques that will fit both the introverts and the extraverts in your audience… and why they work !

You know, this meeting you attended years ago but still remember ?
That e-mail that brought an instant smile to your face ?
It's your turn now!
We are going to explore together in an interactive way how to get your colleagues, audience and stakeholders hyped up about what you do ! The lack of engagement of people around you, is not always due to the lack of interest of the topic... but to the way we communicate about it!
Expect a mix of experiments, concrete examples and tips & tricks.
The world is yours, hype it up!

How to hype up anyone about anything ?
Facilitation Circus :
Juggling Introverts and Extraverts
Session delivered with Els Van Hecke
OKR's pushed by management down to the team.
Key Results listed as a task list.
Teams discovering their OKR's just 1 week before the end of the Quarter. Managers setting waaaaaaaay to much OKR's in just one Quarter.
The reasons for poor OKR implementations are numerous - but well executed, OKR's are a very powerful tool to measure growth and progress, in a way that totally fits with Agile ways of working.
During this session, we will explore what makes good and strong OKR's, how to follow them up efficiently and regularly, and how to optimise their adoption in your teams... and in the leadership.
Let's make sure we measure what matters!

Joining a new team is never easy...
What if showing up in an observation stance would show us as "passive"?
What if being proactive from Day 1 would make our new colleagues see us as disruptive?
In this session, we are impersonating Denise, who is joining her new team today. Let's analyze her options, and use brain science principles to see which ones would make her nail (or fail) her first 30 days!
Together, let's rock these first 30 days!

How to Nail (or Fail) your first 30 days in a new team ?
OKR's don't have to suck
Too often we observe that a relationship gone wrong between a Scrum Master and a Product Owner come from... a lack of communication and alignment.
In this session, we will deep dive in the reasons why these situations can happen and more importantly, how to overcome them!
Let's create iconic PO / SM duos!

We've all been there :
Energy is dropping.
The vibe in the team is becoming less enthusiastic, then completely depressing.
When celebrating small wins is not enough anymore, when nothing seems to be able to cheer people up… it's time to ask the right questions : what does REALLY motivate the team?
As a result, the team will leave the session with a clear guidance and attention points to assess at every retrospective moment!
In this session, we will identify what are the key drivers of your team members, and discuss them. We will continue by using a specifically designed AI tool whose algorithm will identify what patterns this combination of motivators will create in the teams, and what pitfalls it could fall into.
As a result, the team will leave the session with a clear guidance and attention points to assess at every retrospective moment!
To take action on a team's motivation... you first need to understand what motivates them!

How to properly get a team started?
Some teams start by just sitting at the desk and… working together. Some others prefer spending time doing something completely different, from a night out in the woods or an escape game and a good restaurant. What if… the magic happens when you subtly find the sweet spot between all of that?
Kicking off a new team is more than putting some people together. It's about aligning their values, clarifying the direction, determining their common mission and finding the key factor that will unite them as a performing team!
Highly customizable, a Team Kick-Off will be adapted to the specific situation and context of the team and will be designed with the outcome in mind : Have every team member aligned on their role in the team and energized to give the best of themselves!
It's your turn now !
