279 - Facilitation with More Doing and Less Talking with Adam StJohn Lawrence

Words: they are abundantly, inescapably, everywhere in the world of work. Emails, documents, post-its, briefs, meetings, hushed whispers across the office. So why is it that so many organisations still find themselves on the wrong page from one another?

Ask the multi-talented master of service design thinking, stand-up comedy, theatrical design and psychology-zoology, Adam StJohn Lawrence, and he will tell you that words, actually, get in the way of true collaboration and understanding.

Intrigued? Spend an hour and a half with Adam’s fascinating anecdotes, knowledge and insights to learn how to be a more effective communicator and facilitator - without speaking.

Find out about:

• How to express reality and achieve results in non-verbal ways
• The effectiveness of prototypes over word-based documents
• How to reframe roleplay into a judgement-free, comfortable space
• How to ease corporate clients into more interactive, playful sessions
• The 3 questions to ask for effective projects
