We discuss the importance of community building, engagement, and the power of simplicity in facilitation.
Listen in to hear is riff on these topics...
* Engagement, and how its meaning can differ among individuals. There's a consensus that engagement can naturally ebb and flow, and it's okay if there isn't always a dramatic peak.
* Anamaria highlights the importance of understanding the purpose of your community. Starting small, incorporating feedback, and gradually shaping the community based on this feedback are key to building a successful community.
* She underscores the power of brevity and the use of timeboxing and simple slides to keep discussions on track.
* We explore how Anamaria is building her brand, both professionally and as part of the L&D Shakers community.
* We also discuss Anamaria's freelance work, where she partners with companies and NGOs to create impactful and memorable learning experiences. Her approach includes challenging and rethinking traditional methods, exploring new avenues, and highlighting successful outcomes.
