External perspectives

Control the flow
Facilitators will lead discussions, modules, and activities according to an agenda, but will adapt the flow according to vibe of the room.
Set the pace
Keeping an eye on the time, facilitators will make sure time does not run away from the agenda, and participants will go through each activity and exercise as designed.
Keep the energy up
Reading the vibe of the room, facilitators will adapt within the agenda to bring energy up when it’s dwindling, and focus energy towards objectives and outputs when it is threatening to run away on a tangent.

Ensure outputs
