It’s Not Monty Python: You’re the Facilitator, You Stop the Scene

As a Coach at Crema, one of my primary responsibilities is to facilitate workshops. Sometimes they’re week-long Design Sprints or 2-day-long engagement kickoffs, other times they’re a 3–5-hour long reprioritization session or strategic summit. Regardless of the workshop, it’s my job as a facilitator to prepare an agenda that points towards a specific purpose—every single exercise must move us one step closer towards that goal.
