I tried a 'virtual milling' as a warm up - where I randomly assigned folks to pairs/breakouts just for 3 minutes in 3 rounds - to mix them up... encouraged them to 'move around' during the in/out process of breakouts... and to please click 'return to main' as soon as the 'count down' started to close the room.... So in and out for 3 quickie different pairings...They loved it - plus got them ready for the more serious breakout experiences later in the day...
3 questions?- 1 for each round
--how are you doing right now (with 'lock down' or pandemic - however your community would language it)
--what are your greatest hopes/fears for today's session
--what do you love about this organization

Hi all, Last week with a team that was willing to go deep, I asked them to share:
One fear they have
One hope they have and
One strength they have
What I loved about this is that it allowed us to acknowledge and engage with what keeps us busy (so the fear is not just a very loud background noise) but it doesn't stop there. I had the feeling that after we had shared (each writing their answers on a slide in a shared slide show and saying them out loud), we were much more "in it together". This was a small group, in a bigger group I would probably have had them have conversations about this in pairs or trios and only share out some observations afterward. Good luck. Eva
