Episode description

Convinced that participants need to engage in order to learn, a leader is discouraged after the cheerless rollout of her online learning program. She turns to her coach for help facilitating virtual groups.

Tools in this episode:

Tone-setting at the opening:

  1. Get people engaged by using the chat to think together;
  2. Get people engaged by thinking about how they will show up (ground rules);
  3. Ask: “How engaged do you want to be?” Rank 1 – 7 in chat. 

(#3 came from Michael Bungay Stanier who wrote The Coaching Habit and hosts the Change Signal podcast. Much gratitude!)


Three facilitation skills:

  1. Use learning questions;
  2. Redirect; don’t be the hub;
  3. Activate your deadpan.
