Episode 93: How to facilitate a bid with Justin Nickerson
We are stepping outside of the general facilitation industry today, and finding inspiration from the real estate industry. More specifically, the role of an auctioneer!
Auctioneers have to prepare for bid day; they have to facilitate an outcome for a client, and they also have to do this in group of large groups. As you’ll discover in this conversation, there are many parallels between group facilitation; and facilitating a bid on auction day.
I spoke to the leading auctioneers in Australia, Justin Nickerson to get his perspective on the role of an auctioneer. This is a rapid-fire, quick-paced interview/ What I love about what Justin shares, is how it’s important to be your authentic, and not to be an actor or play a role when you’re facilitating a bid. You’ll also catch on to the beautiful parallels between facilitating bids and impactful workshop experiences.
