Hi everyone! Amr here. I’m doing another livestream tomorrow. This time all about Design Sprint.... Design Sprint has been around for 8 years now. That’s an eternity in the product space! So is it **still relevant** in 2024? I have an answer to that but would also love to have discussion about it — so I figured a livestream is perfect for this! Feel free to put your questions in the comments and I’ll add them to the ones I’ll be going through tomorrow!

🔴📆 Mark your calendar: this Friday at 4 pm Central Europe / 10 am Eastern (U.S.) Our first ever open-to-everyone livestream on LinkedIn! Get all of your facilitation questions answered live. Make sure to sign up below... 👇 See you Friday!

Use this MEETING HACK to prioritise ideas quickly One of the biggest problems in meetings where teams have to make a decision is that people often struggle with choosing the correct and most impactful solution to their problem. Typically ideas are not visualised, making it very hard to keep track of what’s been said and also to compare ideas against each other. The end result is a "solution" that may require significant effort, potentially costing a lot of money and time, and might not even be impactful at all. So in this video, Senior Facilitator at AJ&Smart Amr Khalifeh will walk you through one of the most effective meeting hacks/exercises for visualising and prioritising ideas. We call it the Action Board. Cheers! https://lnkd.in/dF8JESmZ

This is the wildest and most fun icebreaker for large groups we've ever run! A few months back, we invited 50 of the most successful facilitators from our Workshopper Master program to our office in Berlin, and we tested this icebreaker with them. To be honest, we knew it was going to be fun, but we didn't expect everyone to go that wild that fast! So, if you've ever wanted to bring down barriers in a large group quickly and get a team from 0 to 100 immediately, you should definitely try this icebreaker in your next workshop or event. Shoutout to Rebecca Courtney for running this icebreaker! Also, cheers to everyone who attended the meet-up. It was great to see you in 3D form.

You are cursed! We are cursed! And the only way to break that curse is by understanding that you know too much!!! Have you ever been in a situation where the person you are speaking with just talks in technical terms, corporate speak and jargon, and you just want them to stop talking and just speak in plain English? Well, that's because that person is suffering from a serious case of "The Curse of Knowledge". And you might be too. This is really bad, especially if you're facilitating a session or delegating work because you're expecting people to perform a task with the information you're giving them, but they simply can't understand what you're saying because they don't share your same background. In today's video, Jonathan Courtney explains Law No. 5 from our "6 Laws of Master-Level Facilitation" where he shows you how to easily break this curse. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/dFu9yg2H
