Thank you so much for this! I was figuring out how to integrate these into an event where they already have lanyards they are determined to use, too! So this gives me a couple ways to integrate them without competing with the standards ones, but still make a huge impact. And I'm already doing the insight wall at this conference so I love the idea of adding these name tags to that wall.

Perfect 👍👍 Challenge by choice haha. I like to remind everyone of their free will. All a (good) facilitator does is lay out choices to hopefully jump start actually important and meaningful conversation and connection. Has nothing to do with "getting" resistant people to participate in BS against their will. Make it purposeful...or highly consider not doing it.

These are incredibly helpful! It doesn't matter if you know a person or not, it is "a window" into what I want to talk about now. These make it so easy for everyone to quickly identify someone they should connect with. Even if two people were to start up a chat, they may never get to their own hot topic for the day and miss out on a learning opportunity.

Thank you for all of your videos and resources - Connection before Content is the beginning of every meeting agenda I facilitate. I love the context hook and I am presenting at a National Crisis Response Training conference later this summer. We are presenting on training and supporting a crisis response team at a school district level. Any suggestions on the Nothing we do today actually matters unless.... hook? 😃
@chad.littlefield7 күн бұрын
Super important event for a context hook! "Nothing we do today matters unless you walk away with an immediately practical tool or idea that helps you save someone's life within the next 3 months." It'd pack a punch at the very least. Now, the catch is that with a compelling context hook, you've got to make sure the event to follow can deliver on this promise. All your speakers should KNOW the context heck before they even show up too. It serves as a design filter to help them help you keep the promise to the audience 👍👍

Thanks for providing these great resources!

After they exchange stories about their photos, they can take a selfie together!

I am doing this in the beginning of the event and having them write down something nice, encouraging, and uplifting on their papers. Or having them write something that they would want to hear someone say to them! I will have them toss it to each other but we wont be opening it up until the end of the night! That gives them something to look forward to and something heartwarming to go home with :)
