Episode 140: Ready, Fire, Aim: Co-facilitator reflections from Virtually Possible with Joeri Schilders
Welcome to the coolest virtual facilitation program. Made by facilitators for facilitators, you'll get the tools, skills and confidence to take your virtual facilitation game to the next level.
It’s always fun to deliver a project but as we all know as facilitators, many of the lessons learned are discovered in the reflection!
Joeri and I met a few months ago and in space of a few weeks, created a concept for a project, launched it, welcomed members in, created the program and delivered it.
In this episode, Joeri and I debrief the first, online collaboration project we delivered together called Virtually Possible. We debrief:
Benefits and advantages of co-facilitation
Process of building, creating the Virtually Possible facilitation program
Virtually Possible platform - the channels, activities, and fun challenges
SIFT - Stuff up, Insights, First times and Transformation
Virtually Possible 2.0

About her co-facilitator: Joeri Schilders
After having lived in the US, UK and China for almost half his life, Joeri set up The Magic Sauce in Singapore in 2013. Over the past decade and a bit, he has worked on numerous challenges spanning from new product development across Asian emerging markets, digitising traditional manufacturing in Europe, to building systemic innovation cultures around the globe.
He has been in Asia for more than 20 years and spends most of my time designing and facilitating innovation & co-creation.
Joeri did not go to the University of Innovation.
Instead he brings real stories, tough lessons, tools and tricks learned from running over 100 big and small innovation projects over the past decade, working with some of the coolest industries and businesses. He has the battle scars to show.
In 2013, he set up The Magic Sauce in Singapore with the aim to demystify innovation and creativity for global clients through facilitation, speaking and content creation.
He has an effusive passion for the work he does and always brings tons of energy, a pragmatic approach and fresh inspiration.

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!
