• What do I do when an activity I planned just isn’t working? 
• How do I respond to a question that I don’t know how to respond to? 
• My agenda is too full but everything is essential! What do I cut?

The answer to these questions and many more are answered in this second episode of our 3-part Transformational PD mini-series. Elena shares 6 Transformational Tips that she’ll pulling on in her practice these days that we bet you haven’t heard before.  

Mentioned in this episode: 

• The PD Book (Book by Elena)
• Artful Design and Facilitation (Bright Morning workshop)
• Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, Dascher Keltner

Reflection questions:

• Which of the six strategies resonated most with you, and why? Reflect on a specific moment in your facilitation or planning where you could have used that strategy. What might have changed?
• What comes up for you when you imagine being more vulnerable or less "expert" in a PD space—like sharing a think-aloud or dancing in front of participants? What beliefs or fears might you need to examine or release in order to show up more authentically?
• How might you intentionally create more space in your PD design—whether that means cutting content, moving your body, or even canceling a session? What would it look like to prioritize depth, presence, and responsiveness over content coverage?
