I’m very happy to announce my new book, Surviving the Horror of Online Meetings, is available now on Amazon!

You’ll learn and practice virtual modalities to connect and energize participants, bring out and capture ideas, decide from among those ideas, plan the way ahead, and reflect on how to apply and customize what you’ve learned to your own work.

To continue to share virtual facilitation methods, I’m very happy to announce a new book, Surviving the Horror of Online Meetings.

“I'm constantly thinking about how to speed up my workflow and found myself drawing the same icons over and over again...I decided to turn my most used icons into stamp brushes and share them with all of you! You can add these icons to your Procreate canvas with the tap of your stylus and can change their color, size, and opacity. I hope you love these as much as I do!”

NEW DATES FOR OUR VIRTUAL FACILITATION WORKSHOP: JANUARY 7 FROM 4:00PM TO 7:00PM EST AND JANUARY 8 FROM 8:30AM TO 11:30AM EST

Transitioning from graphic recording to digital scribing? Procreate is fast becoming the digital scribe’s app of choice.

NEW DATE FOR OUR VIRTUAL FACILITATION WORKSHOP: NOVEMBER 5 FROM 11:00AM TO 2:00PM EST

What I’m talking about here are disruptive behaviors that are COUNTER-productive to group processes. A counter-productive disruption shuts down healthy dialogue, prematurely eliminates ideas before they’ve been given a thorough examination, or attacks people whether they’re in the room or not.

Here are YouTube links to NOVA Scribes’ recorded webinars. I’m also including links to the each event page, which includes photos and sketchnotes of the events.

If you can do it in a room, you can do it online. Here are some best practices for you and your participants to make the transition to virtual meetings easier.

Breathing exercises and techniques promote mindfulness, wellness, can help ease pain, and supports mental health.

Since 2016, we've taught hundreds of facilitators how to be at their best online. We just updated The Virtual Facilitation Workshop in August 2020 to apply the realities of living in an online world. In this 3-hour interactive, online workshop, we’ll cover best practices and activities for facilitating groups online.
