This includes self- deprecating humor. It does not mean groveling. Lower your relative social position People can usually tell if you are being yourself or acting. Being yourself shows there is nothing to be afraid of. Try "being in the bar at 9pm with friends," quite obviously relaxed and your regular self. (This is not an excuse to be crude.) © Alistair Cockburn, 2008 http://Alistair.Cockburn.us/Collaboration+Cards Be yourself © Alistair Cockburn, 2008 ://Alistair.Cockburn.us/Collaboration+Cards Getting a result is heartening. Good facilitators often generate a victory to help encourage and bind the group. If the session is ending, aim for a small goal, so that the group can end with a victory. Get one result Avoid being lethargic yourself. Body posture, muscle tone, eye alertness, all communicate your energy level. Even just sitting alert contributes energy to the room. Pay close attention to the speaker, digest what they say, ask a question. © Alistair Cockburn, 2008 http://Alistair.Cockburn.us/Collaboration+Cards Keep your energy high!
