We use the Host Leadership model for all our sessions at Thinking Box and for training our facilitators. It is an accessible and effective model, easy to engage with and a great framework for pursuing mastery (which of course takes much longer). The effect is that people feel valued, engaged and included. You learn from each other and not just from a single speaker or leader. I believe that this approach will continue to grow in popularity and society will be all the better for it.
Very nice idea. I assume that over the lifetime of SOLworld there have been many different hosts of many different events, but I wonder if each event typically has a fixed host or hosts, or if the "most host-like" person is fairly fluid throughout the event, such as in different times of the day.
Hi Andrew, each event has a hosting team in general. And of course the events are very participative so there is a fluid nature to it. (We like to have minimal distinctions between 'presenters' and 'participants' for example - presenters are always strongly encouraged to join other sessions as participants, while participants are urged to take chances to speak up and engage.
