Episode 130: Taking you back-stage: How to find a collaboration buddy and facilitate a solution with Leanne Hughes
On this weeks’ show, I’m taking you backstage!
If you’ve been listening for a few weeks, you’ll hear that I’m collaborating with Joeri “The Magic Sauce” Schilders on a project called Virtually Possible.
We started chatting in early June and we’re really close to launching this new program! In this episode, I share my perspective on the collaboration process, and how you can facilitate a collaborative project with a) Someone you barely know, who b) Lives in another country.
We haven’t done things the traditional way: We don’t use emails to communicate at all!
I’d love this episode to inspire you to consider: Is there someone in this beautiful world who you could collaborate with to solve a problem?

Collaboration is great for so many reasons - surprisingly, it’s also great for building your self-awareness.
I also share how you can identify a collaboration partner (hint: Look for someone who’s better than you at certain things!), how you can establish communication protocols and roles that play to your strengths, and the format for our sprint/work sessions last week.
Join us live!
Joeri and I are live-streaming onto YouTube later this week, sharing 5 ways you can ramp up the energy in virtual meetings (by being a little bit lazy). We’d love you to join in!

Episode 32: Does co-facilitating mean half (or double) the work? with Leanne Hughes
Today’s episode is all about co-facilitating. I’ve been wondering how to do it more effectively - particularly if you need to develop the actual content together as well. If you’re handed something off the shelf to deliver, it’s a lot easier to co-facilitate- but doing both the development and delivery together sometimes can be a little tricky.

In this episode you'll learn:
