New episode of The 4 am Report is ready for your listening pleasure! This week we are joined by professional Facilitator, Mara Svenne of mPath Facilitation.
Disclaimer -- We broke our micro rule again and went over the 20 minute mark.
BUT…
We swear it’s worth the listen, because this week we talk about the ongoing nightmare that keeps everyone up at night...getting sh!t done!
Mara explains her role as a professional Facilitator by using 3 different analogies for each stage of a project.
☑️ She’s the architect who creates the blueprint for the project.
☑️ She’s then the pilot who takes people where they need to go.
☑️ And finally she’s the guide, helping people tap into their potential while calming their fears and self doubt.
We also discuss an agile style of working called Kanban.
Another disclaimer - at c+p digital we love Kanban. We love it so much, that Will literally wrote a blog post called Will Loves Kanban .
If you are looking for a better, more efficient way of doing things for you and your team, you need to listen to this episode.
Mara shares some great tips on ways to get into the agile groove.
(If you need a bit more convincing to listen, all we're going to say is that one of Mara’s tips helps cut your email overwhelm by 50%.)
