About the Episode

Bringing a new flavour to this season of Pause, this episode features Miki Stricker-Talbot, an intrapreneur with the City of Edmonton, who shares two warm-up techniques from her facilitation practices. With more of a tutorial style ‘how to’ episode, her and I walk through both techniques talking about what they are, demonstrating examples of how you can use them in your own practice and the impact and importance of them both.

The first technique is a way to really check in with each other and see how we’re actually doing. It allows folks the opportunity give a surface answer if they don’t feel like sharing, but also space for a deeper answer if people are wanting to share.

The second technique was created in collaboration with her daughter. This technique helps people recognize that we are physical beings and brings people into a different way of being together.

Both allow a space for connection, camaraderie, humanness, and curiosity.
