It recommends that facilitators challenge participants' thinking, help make connections between different ideas, paraphrase and summarize what has been discussed, and encourage participation from all. Facilitators should not be afraid to admit when they do not know the answer to a question. They should use open-ended questions to probe for more details and closed questions to redirect or summarize discussions. Barriers to effective facilitation include poor planning, lack of relevant knowledge, weak delivery skills, inappropriate timing, word choice or non-verbal communication, interruptions, lack of courtesy, making personal judgments, and inadequate feedback. The document also outlines different approaches to community engagement from program-centered to community-managed

Without vision, you'd be blind - Mattia Traverso - Codemotion Amsterdam 2017
In game design, we trust our senses. Is this mechanic fun? Is this Environment beautiful? Is this story emotional? Is the game GOOD? However, as time passes and our project evolves, so do we. We are not the same person we were a minute ago, a month ago, a year ago. How can we maintain a steady vision if we ourselves are a constantly changing, complex interlacing of feelings and ideas? A practical look at how to establish a strong identity for a project: the beacon which will lead future decisions in design, art and production.

Peer assessment and star awards
The document provides instructions for students to peer assess coursework in groups. It explains that students should be divided into groups, and each group should peer assess another group's work. For each person, they should fill out an assessment sheet with their name and justification for the mark and level given in each section - research and planning, production, and evaluation - using the levels in their assessment booklet. The assessment results will then be used to grade peers' coursework.
5 Areas to consider
Genre Theory, Representation Theory, Audience Theory, Narrative Theory, and Media Language are 5 areas that should be considered before planning and creating a film to determine how well one can perform in the task. These 5 theories will impact the genre, representation, intended audience, narrative structure, and use of media language in the film.
Evidence
This document discusses the concept of evidence and provides examples. Evidence is defined as facts, statements, or objects that can help prove something is true rather than being just an opinion or guess. Examples of evidence include weather reports, clues in an investigation, and other situations where proof is needed. Students are prompted to describe evidence in their own words, think of other examples where evidence is used, and draw a picture illustrating the concept of evidence.

Ash Winter - What is testing?
This document discusses different perspectives on what testing is and provides the author's axioms about testing. The author believes that testing is a team-based activity where they help enable testing rather than doing most of the testing themselves. They view testing as a human, intellectual activity involving thinking, learning, sharing ideas. Complete testing is seen as impossible due to logical limitations and infinite possibilities, so balance and variation are important. Testing is considered a performance where the value is in applying it, not just thinking about it. Tools can assist testing but not replace it. Context is also important, as what works in one situation may not work in another.

Mi week-6-gary
This document provides an agenda and overview for Week 6 of a Motivational Interviewing training. It reviews homework from the previous week and delves deeper into key MI concepts like preparatory and change talk. It discusses how to intentionally evoke and respond to change talk using techniques like DARN CAT questions and the EARS response method. The week's learning activity assigns participants to identify examples of change talk in the song "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse, categorize them using DARN CAT, respond to each using EARS, and develop a summary of the change talk to submit for review.
Include Everyone
The document provides tips for making all team members feel included and valued. It suggests using icebreakers at meetings to get to know each other beyond work. Sharing meals together helps bonding, not just after-work drinks that can exclude some. Asking about belonging experiences helps teams understand biases. Leaders should actively seek diverse perspectives, invite quiet voices to speak first, and repeat back to show listening. Volunteering together as a team outside of work creates common ground and reduces differences.
Improving understanding
This document discusses the importance of understanding each other and avoiding assumptions. It includes exercises where participants observe images and write down their inferences to illustrate how mental models can shape perspectives. The debrief discussions emphasize co-creating shared visions and making assumptions explicit to prevent beliefs from hindering understanding. The goal is to improve comprehension between individuals by recognizing unconscious biases and discussing differing viewpoints in a constructive manner.
Secrets of Amazing Transformational Games
This document discusses how games can be used to transform players and induce meaningful change.

It also describes seven ways games can transform players, such as showing complex relationships, using repetition, breaking down barriers, and creating teachable moments. Finally, it notes three common pitfalls in designing transformational games, like having a flawed hypothesis of how players will change, fooling oneself about whether players care, and scope disconnects between developers and subject matter experts.

Tour guide for an alien
The alien tour guide explains to the confused alien that a baseball game is occurring in the stadium below. The guide proceeds to answer 5 questions from the alien to describe the game and human behaviors around sports. The guide explains that a game is a conflict between opponents following rules, there are no female players due to separate sports leagues, and fans feel passionate because sports build community around their team. A team works together to defeat opponents, and spectators cannot join the players on the field because they are professionals requiring skill. Thinking like an alien tour guide forces deeper consideration of human values and assumptions around competition and community in sports.
Oht 7
The document discusses effective communication and teamwork. It provides tips for communication including listening without interrupting, being empathetic, and having positive body language. It also describes a listening exercise where partners take turns speaking without interruption. For teamwork, it emphasizes listening to others, being open-minded, and understanding different perspectives. It presents case studies about resolving conflicts within groups and establishing win-win relationships rather than wanting to be right or make others lose. The overall message is the importance of communication, empathy, and cooperation within teams.
Social Behavior Part 3
Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when the desire to reach consensus in a group leads to suppressed dissent and results in poor decision making. It often happens in cohesive groups where members value harmony over critical thinking. Individuals may withhold contrary opinions to avoid conflict. Symptoms include the illusion of unanimity, where members assume consensus exists when in reality people are self-censoring. Groupthink is more likely when groups are insular, have a strong leader, and members fear isolation. An example is NASA's decision to launch the space shuttle Challenger in 1986 despite known issues with its O-rings in cold weather.

Tour guide for an alien
The document describes a tour guide explaining the game of baseball to an alien observing from a blimp over a stadium. The tour guide answers the alien's questions by explaining that a game is a competition between teams with established rules where people support teams to feel part of a community. The tour guide realizes that values like community and winning/losing have to be explained as they may not seem logical to an outsider like the alien.
The Courage and Compassion to Change
The document discusses developing self-compassion as an essential leadership trait and superpower. It notes that fear provides valuable data but people should aim to have less fear rather than being fearless. Self-compassion involves treating oneself with kindness, understanding and non-judgment rather than self-pity or selfishness. Developing self-compassion through practices like expressive writing can increase resilience and perseverance while reducing stress.

Applying Emotional Intelligence to Testing
As test managers and test professionals we can have an enormous emotional impact on others. We're constantly dealing with fragile egos, highly charged situations, and pressured people playing a high-stakes game under conditions of massive uncertainty. We're often the bearers of bad news and are sometimes perceived as critics, activating people's primal fear of being judged. Emotional intelligence (EI), the concept popularized by Harvard psychologist and science writer Daniel Goleman, has much to offer test managers and testers. Key EI skills include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Explore the concept of EI, assess your own levels of EI, and look at ways in which EI can help. Thomas McCoy discusses how EI can be useful in dealing with anger management, controlling negative thoughts, processing constructive criticism, and dealing with conflict—all within the context of the testing profession. This lively session is grounded in real-life examples, giving you concrete ideas to take back to work.

8 Ways To Be More Confident With Perspective
Perspective taking is an easy, fast, and super effective way to boost your confidence in a challenging situation or interaction.
Here are 8 perspective taking hacks for you!
But first let me share a story on how a fresh perspective can shift your self-confidence.
My Toastmasters mentor couldn’t remember a single thing I said after my first speech. It made me feel little confidence in my abilities.
But then later, I learned great speeches make others think about their own lives, not “wow what a charismatic speaker.”
Although my mentor couldn’t remember what I said, he could remember how it make him feel and what he wanted to change in his life. I realized that my first speech was not a complete failure.
Same speech, same mentor, same facts, just a different interpretation. That single shift in perspective completely changed my confidence level.
To feel more confident, often all you need is an outside perspective to get out of your negative overthinking and self-doubt.
Here are 8 ways to change your perspective on a negative interaction.
1. Write it as if writing to someone else.
2. Connect it with your sense of self.
3. Share it with someone who is candid.
4. Research it.
5. Play your own devil’s advocate.
6. Get clarification from the person involved.
7. Rethink it when you are in a good mood.
8. Zoom out in time and space.

This document discusses effective communication and provides tips for giving and receiving feedback. It introduces the "Net Model" which describes three realities that influence communication: intent/motives, behaviors, and impacts/responses. When giving feedback, one should focus on specific, observable behaviors, describe the impact on yourself, and ask about the other person's perspective. Receiving feedback effectively involves looking for truths, listening without defending oneself, and saying thank you. The goal of feedback is mutual understanding and growth.

Founder Leadership Workshop
This document discusses effective communication of feedback within organizations. It provides guidance on giving feedback by focusing on specific observable behaviors, describing the impact on one's own feelings, and asking about the other person's perspective. Receiving feedback effectively involves looking for truthful insights, acknowledging one's reactions, and agreeing on changes going forward. Fostering a feedback culture requires leading by example, creating appreciation, and training teams in feedback best practices. The overall message is that feedback discussions work best when participants focus on facts, feelings, and understanding each other's motivations.
