SOF Community Pods

Boost Your Facilitation Style with the Power of Creative Intelligence

with Hanne Kristiansen
Friday, 4th September, 0900 - 1000 BST

As facilitators, we constantly have to think on our feet.

We have to imagine outcomes that don’t yet exist.

And create journeys that get people to a better place… in a better way.

Fortunately, our innate Creative Intelligence is on hand to help!

But what exactly is creative intelligence? And how can we leverage this (often overlooked) superpower as facilitators?

These are some of the questions we’ll explore during the SOF Pod on September 4th when Hanne Kristiansen (Founder of Creative ID™) joins us for an interactive, insightful and truly inspirating session.

Hanne will invite you to reflect on what kind of facilitator you are, how your facilitator style is influenced by your creative preferences as well as how you can flex your style so it’s always fit-for-purpose… regardless of the project you’re working on and the people you’re working with.

Donate to the Pod

As ever the pod is a free event, however more people have been asking if they can pay, make a donation, create a balance of exchange and say thank you for what is created.

If you have been coming to the SOF pod and want to support the superstars behind the scenes then that would be amazing. Buying them a ‘coffee’ is what I think may work.

Emily is that superstar who sets up the website, the newsletter, the social media and answers the cries for help as Zoom links are lost.

There are three ways you can show your appreciation

An Oat Flat white: £3.99

A Mocha with whipped cream: £5.99

A coffee a day for a week: Pay what you want

Want to connect with others on the topics that interest you the most?

The SOF monthly Pod is a place for facilitators, trainers, coaches or consultants where we explore topics around clients, learners, you or your business.

We meet every first Friday of the month on Zoom.

You are welcome here. Take part in a pausesilencereflection and connection experience.

“The pods started in March 2020 in a response to the UK lockdown, facilitators and trainers losing work and needing a space to connect with others.

We gathered every Friday morning for 20 weeks, connecting, sharing and inspiring one another during a difficult time.

We quickly realised this space and community is needed and wanted by you so we continue to meet on the first Friday of every month.”

“That was magnificent. It feels like I have found my tribe. To be part of a Learning Community like this is one of my goals achieved for the year. 8 days in, back of the net.”

“I also wanted to thank you for the Fri morning sessions during lockdown.  I attended about half of them and found them invaluable for connection, community and learning.”

"Each topic has been incredibly valuable. I truly value the opportunity to pause and reflect. Kirsty creates the space for this so beautifully."
