Virtual: Unboxing the Facilitator in you

The box on our head impacts what we can see and hear. It impacts how we understand others and how others interact with us. It bounds our thinking and limits our choices. While the image of us walking around every day with a physical box on our head might be comical, it is not the case, as the box on our head is not a real box, but rather, an invisible box that represents the boundaries of our thinking.

If the box is invisible, how do we know that we have one on our head? For me, I know I have a box on my head because people keep telling me to “think out of the box.”

Now think about the puzzling situations in your role as a trainer/facilitator. There is an invisible boundary to your thinking which limits your possible responses. It will be easier for you to find a solution if you know that the invisible box is there, and understand how to go outside of the box and back into it to find a solution. We call that Thinking In and Out of the Box!

Once you’ve used the concept of the Box to understand your existing facilitator image/style, you can then work towards creating a different box for yourself- one that will not limit your thinking and make you more aware of your biases and self-imposed challenges.

Our work in this area is centered around helping you recognize your natural facilitator presence when delivering trainings/lessons and discover what you can do to create an even more powerful impact in the room. To help you create the “right” box for you, we introduce two key concepts – Prominence and Gravitas. Prominence is defined as how much or how little you’re noticed, and gravitas is about how much or how little weight, power and authority you speak or act with. Prominence and Gravitas (P&G) therefore form the two “dials” which everyone already has within them. The key is to dial up and down P&G in the right combination for the right situation.

Session objectives:

• Discover what your current box looks and feels like

• Reflect on what your “ideal” box would look like

• Determine the right combination of Prominence and Gravitas for different situations in your role as a trainer/facilitator
