Best comment on a video ever 😊 Glad you thought so. The good news is that there are about 200+ more where that came from, and you can see the videos categorized by topic right here: ua-cam.com/users/weandme
I concur that a really great facilitator makes the experience all about the meeting participants, not about the facilitator. When they leave a meeting on a difficult topic and say, "That was easy!" then you know you've done your job! Love your stuff.
Becky! Thanks so much for sharing. We've randomly picked your comment out of the bunch to gift a free deck of cards or a copy of our book! Woohoo! Send a note with your shipping address and which card deck or book you would like and we'll send it off: hello@weand.me and you can see your options here: weand.me/store/ 😊
Being neutral is key. One method I've used as chair of a committee is to ask all of the participants ahead of time to share directly with me their perspective on the issue at hand. Then going into the meeting I was able to guide conversation by asking each member to share what they had already told me. Soliciting opinions ahead of time and remaining neutral myself as the leader led to a quicker outcome. And the team felt that it was their decision instead of one pushed by me.
Whoa! That was such a short video! Needed more!

Neutrality, ironically, is a super power when in the heat of conflict-or verbal combat! Thanks for sharing, Larry.
Like the concept of "momentum manager". Also, makes me long for the "ahas" that teambuilding excercises produce like nothing else I've facilitated.
