Facilitation Lab with Erin Warner

Control the Room is a community of facilitators spanning many different facilitation styles and systems. Facilitation Lab is our weekly event where we create a safe place to explore, adapt, and practice facilitation approaches and methods.

Join us as a participant and learn through connecting with others or signup to lead a session and try out a new method for the first time. During COVID we accelerated our monthly meetups to occur weekly in support of the transition to virtual facilitation and adapting to online. Whatever your learning objectives may be, we are here to support you.

Each week we feature a guest to guide us through an experience, the entire group critiques them, and then as time permits, we run an open mic style facilitation jam.

Agenda:

1:00-1:15 Networking/Warmup
1:15-1:25 Welcome/Why/Intro Host
1:25-2:10 Host Session
2:10-2:30 Rose, Thorn, Bud-Feedback on Host
2:30-3:00 Cleanup/Networking

Here's a little more context on this week's session with Erin Warner!

Work-Life Balance: The balancing act entered a new phase with the work from home revolution of 2020.

In this session we will think creatively and collaboratively about how to take steps in the direction of work-life balance. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. The intention is to help you discover possible solutions that are customized specifically for you and your unique context. Please bring pen and paper or a digital notepad.

Before our session, you may find it helpful to reflect on a few key questions:

1. Have expectations shifted for when you should be available and responsive? (By your boss, your colleagues, your customers?)
2. Do you have the power to impact someone else’s work-life balance? (For example: Do you manage a team? Does anyone report to you? Are you a customer?)
3. If you could wave a magic wand, what would your work-life balance look like?
