Facilitation asks to balance the goals of the meeting, the team's social dynamics, and all while creating an environment that is a participation democracy where everyone can be heard. Unfortunately, it is a rare skill, mainly because few companies take the time to teach the skills and often because you feel like you have to be an extrovert to be good at it (which isn't true). In this episode, we will look at what it takes to be a great facilitator, what you shouldn't do, the actions and behaviors you will need, and share a playbook to create the best meetings and workshops.SHOW NOTES:http://thecrazy1.com/episode119 FOLLOW THE CRAZY ONE:Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook

He was involved in automation for industrial plants and factories - that work in conjunction with robots. He knew he could make a living off PLC programming and wound up making courses to serve an online community through a Facebook Group. Stephen ultimately wanted to help technicians and electricians improve their careers with PLC programming! He started a blog back in 2016 and pre-sold his first course and had several people buy it - but he wanted more predictable income (i.e. a membership)! What's holding you back? (16:00) Right now, we need to get Stephen more in a controlled leadership position in his membership. Stephen IS serving his community - but we want to start thinking about his curated path and take it to the next level. He also needs to get more of a community feel in his membership so people can answer each others' questions more, they feel like they're in this together with someone and this will keep them paying month after month and year after year! We need Stephen to look at 3 questions: “How do you build audience?” “How and how often are you selling now?” “How big is your list?” What mindsets issues or fears do you have right now? (30:00) Stephen worries about fatigued his email list or running too many promotions. 90% of your list are not paying attention to what you're sending 90% of the time though! If you are truly serving them, have a real mission, you can remind yourself that what you're providing is to help your email list and what is in their interest - you are doing them a disservice by NOT sending them promotions. What are your next steps? (25:00) Listen to implement 12 Week Year by Brian Moran and creating a content schedule. Take a week to batch his content.

A friend of Ben's once said, "If you hate your job, you'll spend 5-7ths of your life waiting for the weekend." This is a dark way to think about existence. And, to address the flip-side of that coin, Mingo Hagen ( https://mingo.nl/ ) suggested that we talk about the phrase, "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." This is a significantly more optimistic view on the human experience; but, does it hold up to scrutiny? This week, the crew talks about the privilege of being able to choose work that we truly enjoy. Not everyone has this opportunity; and, even when we do, loving your job doesn't always make it feel any less like work. In fact, as Tim illustrates with some scripture, the challenge and hardship of work can be what makes it lovable and fulfilling: > > Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way > that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. - Matthew > 7:13 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_7:13 ) Bringing a different sort of scripture to the conversation, Ben shares one of his favorite poems, "Our Deepest Fear": > > Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that > we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that > most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, > talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of > God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing > enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure > around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to > make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of > us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously > give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our > own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne > Williamson ( https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Marianne_Williamson ) The conversation examined the "do what you love" concept from a variety of different levels, with each host coming at it from a different angle. What becomes very clear is that the quote means different things to different people. But, the one thing we think we can all agree on: don't commit to work estimates that you don't believe in! Doing so will only make you your own worst enemy. Triumphs & Failures ------------------- * Adam's Failure - he spent many person-hours trying to reduce the size of a Docker container image. And, while he eventually reduced it quite a bit (mostly by moving to Alpine Linux), he wasted far too much time on what turned out to be a simple little typo in his make file. The most frustrating part of all of this is that he just assumed that the line-in-question could not possibly be the issue; so, he kept debugging the lines around it without addressing the actual problem. * Ben's Triumph - he and a co-worker, Jackie Ewald, were recently called-out as the embodiment of "customer empathy" at work because they built a custom feature for one of their clients. What made this so rewarding is the fact that they did not ask for permission to build this feature; and, it was a feature that they almost-certainly would not have been allowed to build had they asked for permission. * Ben likes to keep this quote from Stephen Gates - the former Head Design Evangelist at InVision - on hand during all ideation meetings: > > ".... for most companies, right now, because of the way their processes > are—because of how afraid they are of so many things—the innovation that > they need will probably not be authorized.... When I look back at all the > work that was innovative, it was only innovative in hindsight—it almost > got me fired on the way there." * Carol's Triumph - She's loving life in Lake Tahoe! Woot woot! Rock on with your bad self! * Tim's Triumph - as a manager, he usually finds himself in a constant state of "meeting". However, he recently blocked-off 7-hours of heads-down time on his calendar so that he would not be interrupted; and, the amount of work that he was able to get done was refreshingly preposterous. He even received a compliment from one of his clients who thanked him profusely, at the end of the day, for everything he was able to complete! > > ASIDE: Managers, consider this story when it comes to scheduling meetings > for your engineers! We need focus time to get our work done! Notes & Links ------------- * Mingo Hagen ( https://mingo.nl/ ) - listener who suggested the topic. * Matthew 7:13 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_7:13 ) - Enter ye in at the strait gate... * Marianne Williamson ( https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Marianne_Williamson ) - author of the poem, Our Deepest Fear.

We are often influenced, if not even controlled, by the things we think we need to do and the person we think we need to be in our lives and careers.

He is the reason I started a podcast, to be honest, and I’m flattered to have him on the show.My favorite quote from this episode would have to be:“We can no longer be the designer who’s off in the corner, wearing a beret, doing a watercolor of our spirit animal—telling everybody that you don’t understand our process."Check out The Crazy One podcast: http://thecrazy1.com/Check out more Gates goodness: http://stephengates.com/ -As always thank you for listening, and if you enjoy what you're hearing, please share with your friends and co-workers :)-Feel free to stalk the Experience Design podcast on Instagram at @xdpodcast-AND If you are feeling EXTRA inspired, I would love for you to check out my Patreon page here: https://patreon.com/xdpodcast#staycuriousSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/xdpodcast)
InVision is starting a new series of quarterly reports on design trends. The first in the series, a Design Trends Report on Talent, was created to help you learn proactive new ways to recruit, develop, and retain creative talent. In this bonus episode, we chat with Stephen Gates, Head Design Evangelist at InVision, about some of the things he learned while researching and producing the report as its co-author, and how the report can best be used by design leaders looking to hire, and individual contributors looking to get hired. Also, we’re trying out something new: a roundtable discussion about some current topics in the design world. Aarron and Eli chat with some of their colleagues from InVision (in this episode, Design Specialist Emily Campbell and Stephen Gates). So get ready for our first roundtable, to be followed by an exploration of the Design Trends Report on Talent, with co-author Stephen Gates. Articles discussed in the roundtable: How to run inclusive meetings Bob Baxley on design reviews at Apple You don’t have to be a manager to be a leader with Julie Zhuo
