Mentioned in this episode: 

• The PD Book 
• Free workshop with Elena on Facilitation Adaptively if you pre-order The PD Book. (past event)
• The Art of Coaching Workbook 

Two sets of reflection questions: 

• What comes up for you when things don’t go according to plan? [Tip: consider multiple examples]

• What feelings and thoughts come up? 
• What’s the story that you tell? About yourself? About others in the room? 

• When you facilitate a meeting or PD session, how do you gather information in the moment about how the folks are doing that you are there to serve? 

• What you see? What you hear? What you feel? What you intuit? 

‍

Opportunities for continued learning: 

• Read The PD Book (Elena’s newest book, co-written with Lori Cohen) 
• Attend Artful Design and Facilitation
