We’ve all been in meetings wondering... “why am I here?” In fact, I imagine that’s what you’re thinking during most meetings. Or, “when will this be over so I can get back to my real work!?”Whether it’s going on for too long or someone else seems to be dominating the conversation, meetings can feel time-consuming and unproductive. In our conversation with Rebecca Sutherns, founder and principal of Sage Solutions, we discuss how you can have better, more meaningful meetings (and fewer of them!). For access to the show notes and resources, click here.

This week, Rebecca Sutherns is joining your host, Dan Neumann, on the Agile Coaches’ Corner Podcast! Rebecca Sutherns is a strong strategic analyst and Certified Professional Facilitator, trained in numerous facilitation methodologies. She has conducted community consultations, strategic planning, research and evaluation exercises for a range of clients in Canada and internationally. She is an Instructor of a Facilitation Skills course within the Conflict Management Diploma program at the University of Waterloo, the CEO of Sage Solutions (where she bring her expertise as a professional facilitator to help purpose-driven leaders align what’s important to them with what they actually do), and the author of her new book, Nimble: A Coaching Guide for Responsive Facilitation.   In this episode, Rebecca and Dan are focusing on all things related to nimble facilitation! Though her background is not in Agility, her insights around nimble facilitation greatly align with the Agile value of “responding to change over following a plan,” and apply to what Agile coaches do daily.   Tune in to get Rebecca’s insights on what facilitation is, what separates a good facilitator from an average one, how to bring a meeting back on track through nimble facilitation, what facilitation should look like after a meeting, her tips for creating psychological safety, and all about her new book, Nimble, and the key lessons about facilitation from there as well!   Key Takeaways What is facilitation? Giving people a structure by which to get things done as a group What separates a good facilitator from an average one? A good facilitator is someone who can adjust in real time to what’s going on in the room The ability to respond to change over following a plan Knowing yourself well and knowing how you work under pressure By not being the “Oblivious Facilitator” (Example: If you’re not going to adjust based on the feedback that the group is giving you, don’t ask for the feedback) How to bring a meeting back on track through nimble facilitation: Set expectations at the beginning (both in your own head and for the group) about what constitutes being on and off track Understand that things will go differently than you thought Give people starting and end times but not detailed agendas (because that can stress some people out) Plan for multiple scenarios Break down your main objective into smaller objectives What should facilitation look like after a meeting? Ask yourself how it went and how do you know how it went Follow-up with people whose opinion matter to you Become a reflective practitioner and update your plans In Rebecca’s book, Nimble, facilitation is broken down into these three phases: In advance: Anticipation In the room: Agility Afterward: Absorption And below that, there are four facets to each of those phases: People, Purpose, Place, and Process Rebecca’s pro facilitation tips: Good process and good facilitation is the best antidote to a heckler or nay-sayer Part of skillful facilitation is self-regulation and having the mental discipline to not let distractions bother you Always have your plan A, B, C, D, etc. ready to go Do whatever prepping you need prior to the meeting to make yourself the most relaxed that you can possibly be Rebecca’s tips for establishing psychological safety: As a facilitator, give roughly equal airtime (because if only one or two people dominate, others may feel like they don’t have space) Set norms for respectful behavior Make your shared purpose very explicit Let people put their own thoughts up on the board or ask for clarification; don’t edit their words   Mentioned in this Episode: Rebecca Sutherns Sage Solutions Nimble: A Coaching Guide for Responsive Facilitation, by Rebecca Sutherns The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth, by Amy C.

Integrating real world facilitation with online engagement Rebecca Sutherns, CEO of Sage Solutions, co-hosts this week's podcast.  Rebecca shares her insights into the value of facilitated conversations with stakeholder groups and the challenge of facilitation in an era in which people are more focused on the screens of their mobile devices than to the people who may be sitting only feet away. She talks about integrating the richness and value of in-person experiences with online experiences that will reach larger numbers of people. This presents not only the challenge of asking questions to obtain useful responses across media, but also the challenge of interpreting data sets that will vary in both number and richness of data. Let's Talk IAP2 Last September at the IAP2 North American conference in Denver, IAP2 kicked off an examination of its organization and business model. This has been underway at an elite level, driven by a "Change Committee" drawn from North America, Australasia, Indonesia, Southern Africa and Latin America. This week, IAP2 sent an email to members like us inviting us to provide our input on a set of strategic directions that were established by the Change Committee. The intent is to gather member input via the Let's Talk IAP2 website for the next few weeks and then for a consensus decision from national and regional affiliate boards at IAP2 in Victoria. Both Rebecca and I are looking forward to providing our input. However, for me, the fact that IAP2 is consulting members so late in the process, and only consulting members, as opposed to the groups that it is "involving", such as trainers, or empowering (both of those terms are defined in the IAP2 spectrum) elevates my puzzlement at the top-focused nature of IAP2. It is the only membership-based organization that I have participated in that treats members as peripheral to decision-making. That's ironic, when you think about the mission and mandate embodied in the organization's name - the International Association for Public Participation. IAP2 is important to me -- I hope they get it right. Let's Talk IAP2 launched August 8 and runs to August 27. Find out more information at Let's Talk IAP2. Sidewalk goes off the rails?
