Why community is the most powerful tool for transformation.Community isn't just a feel-good buzzword. According to Gina Bianchini, it's a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.Bianchini is the CEO and founder of community-building platform, Mighty Networks, and author of the book Purpose: Design a Community and Change Your Life. "Community is when people come together, and every single member has something to give and something to receive," she explains. In contrast to the one-directional dynamic of a speaker and their audience or a creator and their following, Bianchini argues that the power of community lies in two-way exchanges, where each member benefits the group and benefits from it. "Community is the single most effective way to get results and transformation you just can't get on your own," she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Bianchini joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss how to unlock the potential of purposeful communities. She shares strategies for finding your tribe during times of transition, the "people magic” created when we facilitate deep connections, and how creating community enables us to create the world and lives we imagine.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Gina BianchiniGina's Book: PurposeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful Moments Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - Defining Community vs. Audience (04:05) - Community as a Catalyst for Transformation (06:41) - Finding the Right Community (10:29) - The Future Story Framework (13:22) - People Magic & Facilitation (19:07) - The Final Three Questions (24:59) - Conclusion   ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

How do we actively cultivate deeper fellowship in the church? Part 2 looks at the practical means God provides—intentional relationships, shared life, and Spirit-empowered love—to help believers move toward meaningful, Christ-centered community.

In dieser besonderen Folge von Zoomer meets Boomer treffen nicht nur zwei Generationen aufeinander, sondern auch zwei Reverse-Mentoring-Duos. Oskar & Michael auf der einen Seite: Sohn und Vater. Miriam & Michaela auf der anderen: Facilitatorin / Designerin und erfahrene Gründerin. Was uns verbindet: Wir alle arbeiten in generationenübergreifenden Tandems, in denen Neugier älter wird und Erfahrung jünger bleibt. Miriam und Michaela leben das seit Jahren, als Team zwischen London und Weinsberg, zwischen digitaler Produktentwicklung und systemischer Moderation. Gemeinsam bringen sie das zusammen, was in vielen Organisationen noch getrennt gedacht wird: Technologie und Haltung, Tempo und Tiefe, Struktur und Sinn. Im Gespräch geht es daher nicht nur um Meetings, sondern um weit mehr. Wir sprechen über Führung, psychologische Sicherheit, Räume für echte Begegnung und die Kunst, Zusammenarbeit zu gestalten, die inspiriert statt erschöpft. Unsere Fragen in der Folge: Wie sieht Mentoring in der Praxis aus, jenseits von Buzzwords? // Was können erfahrene Führungskräfte von jungen Facilitator:*innen lernen und was umgekehrt? // Welche Prinzipien aus Design Thinking und systemischer Moderation helfen, komplexe Teams zu führen? // Und warum ist gute Moderation eigentlich eine Form von Leadership? Unsere Fünf Takeaways aus der Folge: 1. Generationen als Ressource. Wenn Erfahrung und Neugier zusammenkommen, entsteht Innovation und nicht nur Reibung. 2. Führung ist Facilitation. Wer Menschen führt, muss Räume halten, in denen andere sich entfalten können. 3. Tiefe schlägt Tempo. In einer Welt voller Tools und Meetings braucht es Momente des Innehaltens, Zuhörens und Sortierens. 4. Design trifft System. Design Thinking öffnet, systemische Moderation verankert, beides zusammen schafft nachhaltige Veränderung. 5. Reverse Mentoring funktioniert, wenn Vertrauen da ist. Beide Seiten müssen bereit sein, ihre Komfortzone zu verlassen und wirklich voneinander zu lernen. Am Ende bleibt uns ein schönes gemeinsames Bild: Zwei Generationenpaare: eins Weiblich, eins männlich, die sich gegenseitig spiegeln und gemeinsam zeigen, was New Work im besten Sinne bedeuten kann: Neugierig bleiben. Verantwortung teilen. Und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Generationen bewusst zu gestalten.

In this conversation, Phil Brown and Rach Davis explore the complexities of facilitation, particularly focusing on the dynamics of introversion, energy management, and the importance of personal style in facilitating workshops. They discuss the need for downtime after high-energy sessions, and the adaptability required in facilitation practices. Rach shares insights on balancing personal and professional energy, the evolution of her facilitation style, and the significance of creating engaging environments for participants. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, flexibility, and continuous learning in the facilitation process.   Selective introversion affects energy levels during facilitation. Facilitators often wear a 'mask' in professional settings. Downtime is essential for recharging after high-energy sessions. Balancing personal and professional energy is crucial. Facilitation does not always need to be high energy. Understanding participant dynamics enhances facilitation effectiveness. Personal facilitation style evolves over time. Flexibility in facilitation techniques is important. Continuous learning is key to effective facilitation.

I talk with Myriam Hadnes about what good facilitation actually looks like, and why it matters now more than ever. We cut through the jargon and compare facilitation, coaching and training, then get practical about how you create learning that sticks.

This conversation with Dee Scarano delves into the concept of psychological safety, emphasizing the importance of honesty and vulnerability in communication. Dee shares how fear of judgment can hinder open expression and explore practical strategies for creating an environment where individuals feel safe to share their thoughts. They highlight the significance of anonymity, comfort zones, and standardized formats in fostering inclusivity and collaboration.    Honesty in communication fosters psychological safety. Psychological safety allows individuals to voice their thoughts without fear. Fear of judgment is a significant barrier to open communication. Anonymity is crucial for creating a safe space for sharing ideas. Building comfort zones is essential before encouraging risk-taking. Standardized formats help ensure equal contributions from all participants. Facilitators must create structures that promote psychological safety. Understanding human behavior is key to effective facilitation. Sharing knowledge within the facilitation community is vital. Vulnerability can lead to stronger connections and collaboration.

In this engaging podcast episode, Phil Brown, Sherry Bagley, and Chad Littlefield explore the themes of curiosity, experiential education, and the importance of relationships in facilitation. They discuss how questions can unlock deeper conversations, the significance of observation in understanding group dynamics, and the value of critique for continuous improvement. The conversation also touches on the role of charisma and authenticity in facilitation, the necessity of structure, and the inspiration drawn from community and relationships. The episode concludes with reflections on personal growth and the power of asking questions.   Questions are the key that unlocks the door to deeper understanding. Building relationships is foundational in experiential education. Observation is crucial for facilitators to meet group needs. Critique is essential for continuous improvement in practice. Staying curious prevents stagnation in long-term facilitation. Charisma can be developed as a skill over time. Structure in facilitation can enhance engagement and effectiveness. Finding inspiration often comes from connecting with new people. The power of relationships is central to effective education. Asking questions can lead to unexpected and enriching conversations.

If a facilitator goes unseen, are they any less present? This is the beautiful paradox of facilitation: as we grow more adept in our craft, our presence in the room becomes less noticeable – less needed – because we've subtly set the magic of facilitation into motion.Master of his craft Vinay Kumar knows this only too well. When you relinquish control, place your trust in the group, and set the stage for emergence to unfold, the space begins to hold itself – sometimes in unexpected ways.

Phil Brown and Rebecca Courtney delve into the concept of emergent facilitation, exploring its principles, preparation strategies, and the importance of building connections with participants. They discuss the challenges of facilitating in corporate environments, the value of addressing fears, and the benefits of working with challenging groups. The conversation emphasizes the need for facilitators to trust their intuition and adapt to the needs of the group, moving away from rigid agendas to a more fluid approach. Rebecca shares insights on how they teach emergent facilitation at AJ&Smart, highlighting the importance of resilience and adaptability in the role of a facilitator.   Emergent facilitation is about adaptability and flow. Unshakeability is crucial for facilitators. Experience helps build resilience in facilitation. Preparation involves both mental and physical readiness. Connecting with participants is essential before diving into content. Addressing fears can shift group energy positively. Challenging groups can lead to greater facilitator growth. Trusting your intuition is key in facilitation. Agendas should be flexible to meet group needs. Teaching emergent facilitation focuses on building confidence and skills.

In this conversation, Phil and Lisa explore the complexities of defining what makes a group great in a facilitation context. They discuss the role of the facilitator's ego, the subjective nature of group dynamics, and the importance of evaluating success beyond personal feelings. The dialogue emphasizes the need for facilitators to balance their own experiences with the goals of the group, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of participant engagement and learning outcomes. A great group often means the facilitator felt liked. Facilitators' egos can influence their perception of group success. Group dynamics are subjective and can vary by facilitator. Struggle in a group can lead to greater learning experiences. It's important to evaluate groups based on goals, not just feelings. Facilitators should embrace their humanity in the process. The definition of a great group can differ among facilitators. Patience and support within a group enhance the experience. Fun and challenge can coexist in group settings. Questions about group success should be more nuanced.

Bernie Maloney: The Triangulation Technique—Coaching Agile Teams Through Challenges Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Bernie identifies critical patterns that cause teams to self-destruct, with lack of clarity about intention being the most common culprit. When teams are treated as mere "task workers" without clear vision, strategy, or goals, they become depressed and directionless. Some teams seek forgiveness after failed experiments, while others get stuck seeking permission without taking enough self-leadership. Bernie emphasizes that waiting for direction is fundamentally self-destructive behavior, and Scrum Masters must create safety for teams to reach high performance. He introduces the coaching technique of triangulation, where problems become a third point that coach and coachee examine together, side by side, rather than facing each other in opposition. In this segment, we talk about “What the Duck”, a Lego Serious Play workshop. Featured Book of the Week: Start with Why by Simon Sinek Bernie champions "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek as essential reading for Scrum Masters working to transform team culture. He explains that compelling stories are how leaders truly influence others, following the sequence of Attention-Emotion-Reason. This book helps Scrum Masters understand that their job fundamentally involves changing culture, and leaders must demonstrate the change they want to see. Bernie connects this to the broader leadership challenge of developing coaching and mentoring skills within organizational structures. During this segment, we also refer to the following books:  Drive, By Dan Pink Change the Culture, Change the Game, by Connors et al. The Secret Language of Leadership, by Denning Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders, by Peshawaria The Geek Way, by McAfee Right Kind of Wrong, by Edmondson   Self-reflection Question: What patterns of self-destructive behavior might your teams be exhibiting, and how could you help them move from seeking permission to taking ownership?

Mariano Gontchar: From Evangelist to Facilitator—How To Lead A Successful Company Merger Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. During a complex merger between two telecom companies, Mariano faced the challenge of uniting team members with different cultures, practices, and tools. His initial approach of selling Agile theory instead of focusing on benefits failed because he forgot about the "why" of change. The breakthrough came when he shifted from being an Agile evangelist to becoming a facilitator who listened to managers' real challenges. By connecting people and letting the team present their own solutions to leadership, Mariano successfully created unity between the formerly divided groups. Self-reflection Question: Are you trying to sell your methodology or solve real problems, and what would happen if you focused on understanding challenges before proposing solutions?

In this conversation, Phil shares his experiences and observations regarding cultural differences in facilitation and education between the United States and England. He discusses the energetic and often overly positive approach prevalent in American facilitation, contrasting it with the more reserved and dry style he associates with English culture. The conversation also touches on language barriers, particularly the use of cursing, and how these cultural nuances impact communication and facilitation styles. Phil emphasizes the importance of understanding these differences to enhance the effectiveness of facilitation across diverse cultural contexts.   Phil reflects on his blend of American and English styles. American facilitation often feels overly peppy to Phil. He finds certain American facilitation stories unnecessary. Phil associates American culture with toxic positivity. Cursing is more accepted in England than in the U.S. Language context is crucial in communication. Facilitation styles vary significantly across cultures. Summer camp culture influences American facilitation. Phil notes that English facilitation is less playful. Understanding cultural differences is key to effective facilitation.

Mariano Gontchar: From Boss to Facilitator—The Critical Role of Empathy in Scrum Mastery Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Mariano shares his transformation from viewing himself as a boss in his project manager role to embracing the facilitator mindset essential for Scrum Masters. His journey reveals a crucial insight: you cannot implement Scrum with a "big bang" approach.  Instead, success comes through empathy and understanding your team's needs. Mariano emphasizes that working with Agile requires constant practice and learning, but the key lesson that changed everything for him was learning to empathize with his team members rather than directing them from above. Self-reflection Question: How might your current leadership style be limiting your team's potential, and what would change if you shifted from directing to facilitating?

Priya Parker, facilitatrice de conflits est coach très recherchée à New York, animatrice d'un podcast pour le New York Times, et autrice du best-seller The Art of Gathering, nous invite à repenser en profondeur la manière dont nous nous rassemblons.D'autant que le livre est sorti en français cet été au moment ou nous avons enregistré.@L'épisode est en anglais malheureusement pour ceux qui ne parlent pas suffisamment bien.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de quelque chose d'aussi fondamental qu'oublié : l'art de se retrouver. Pourquoi se marie-t-on ? Pourquoi organisons-nous un baby shower, un dîner, une réunion ? Et surtout : comment faire en sorte que ces moments comptent vraiment ?Avec Priya, on explore les mille manières dont nos rassemblements peuvent (et doivent) être réinventés. Elle explique à quel point nos rencontres sociales, personnelles ou professionnelles sont souvent pilotées en pilote automatique, sans intention réelle. Pourtant, avec un peu de conscience et beaucoup de cœur, il est possible de transformer un simple dîner entre amis en moment inoubliable. Ce que j'ai adoré, c'est à quel point Priya replace le besoin collectif, la joie et le sens au centre de nos rassemblements.J'ai questionné Priya sur les rituels, sur la polarisation de nos sociétés, sur l'illusion de la connexion numérique, et sur le rôle politique de nos manières de nous réunir. Car oui, se rassembler peut être un acte de résistance dans un monde optimisé, hyperconnecté mais souvent déshumanisé.Son approche est à la fois intime et profondément transformatrice. Vous n'organiserez plus jamais une réunion ou une fête de la même manière.5 citations marquantes« Show me how you gather and I'll tell you what your values are. »« The biggest mistake we make when we gather is skipping the question: why are we doing this? »« Gathering is an act of resistance in an age of hyper-efficiency. »« A gathering begins the moment someone discovers it exists. »« You can be in the same room as people and feel very alone. »10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewPourquoi as-tu voulu écrire un livre sur l'art de se rassembler ?Quel est le plus grand piège dans nos manières de nous réunir aujourd'hui ?Comment donner une intention forte à un simple dîner entre amis ?Pourquoi les rituels ont-ils disparu, et pourquoi sont-ils essentiels ?Quel est l'impact des différences culturelles sur notre manière de créer des rituels ?Que révèle la manière dont une société se rassemble sur ses valeurs ?Le rassemblement peut-il être un levier contre la polarisation ?Quel rôle joue la technologie dans la perte de la vraie connexion ?Comment accueillir la légèreté et la joie dans nos moments collectifs ?À quoi veux-tu ouvrir ou fermer la porte dans notre société actuelle ?
