Trick or Treat but the treat is that everyone self-monitors their speaking time and the trick is that guy Brad who loves to hear himself talk.

Trick or Treat but the treat is a client that pays on time and the trick is you have to chase the invoice for 4 months.

Trick or Treat but the treats are juicy flipchart markers and the tricks are dry ones.

Parents, PLEASE check your kids' candy. I just found an audio track of a trauma-sensitive grounding meditation in this Twix bar.

Parents, PLEASE check your kids' candy. I just found some highly confidential pre-retreat interview notes in this bag of Skittles.

Parents, PLEASE check your kids' candy. I just found a 2017 theory of change inside this Kit Kat.

Me telling younger facilitators about having to carry rolled up flipchart papers home on the plane to type them up

Prompt: if you can do so without getting a migraine, please stare at the retreat center carpet until a visual metaphor for our team emerges.

If these wood paneled retreat center walls could talk...

They robbed the Louvre in 7 minutes- we should be able to do a biobreak in 10.

Imagine this team is the Louvre heist. Who's the ladder? Who's the saw? Who's the getaway scooter? Who's the crown left behind?

Kids, if you love the smell of school supplies, have I got a career for you.

Born to create containers for insight. Forced to nail down those KPIs before our hard stop at 4:45.

Not for nothing, but be on time coming back from break.

We'll be circling back to that thing we put a pin in, if you want to stop by later.

Hop in loser, we're co-creating working agreements.

It's a great vacation if my spouse doesn't have to remind me of our ground rules, such as "no instructional design on the beach."
July 17, 2025 at 1:06 PM
Facilitators, remember that vacation is the perfect time to refill your metaphor bank. Keep your eyes peeled for:
- natural beauty
- fractals
- animals doing things that relate to strategic planning

It doesn't feel like a true vacation til I've unloaded all my flip charts from the trunk to make room for my beach chairs.
July 17, 2025 at 1:01 PM
Me: Hey, this family vacation isn't going to facilitate itself!

My family: Can you not
July 17, 2025 at 1:00 PM
Best vacation: When the participants go off to do 60 minutes of small group work.

2nd best vacation: Actual vacation.
July 17, 2025 at 1:00 PM
Can I bill my client for the time they mentally encroach upon my vacation, or is that on me?

Live, Laugh, Let's all use "I" statements
