This was so good to read Melissa! Ignore the meeting haters haha, it's easier than appreciating the nuances of life. State changes are such a good concept for any meeting, I think if more groups focused on this, Zoom meetings would be a lot more interesting and engaging. Not to mention it would make it easier to process ideas in the moment. Great reflection!
Thanks Michelle! I'm glad it resonated, and so much of what creators like us are trying to do when we "meet" is develop ideas and products, so a toolkit for creativity and reflection makes sense.
I so appreciate your desire to save or even transform the Meeting rather than to ditch it. As a speaker the subject is near and dear to my heart. It's not easy to shake up the usual strangle-hold of cultural group dynamics, revolving around superficiality, safety, and posturing often. I enjoyed your behind-the-scenes peek at Write of Passage and the "state change" concept that makes them so rich and engaging. I'm cheering you on to facilitate more of these kinds of meetings. By the way, the project I started at pivottothepodium.com is focused on the same vision, from the angle of the empowered presenter.

I loved this edition. You captured the conundrum well. And now that I see the opportunity mixing states I will try it out
Thank you -- and you'll be a pro at it through your experience facilitating!
But always learning new things from keen observers like you!
