TSCS PODCAST 25: Facilitator Elevator
25 | Facilitator Elevator
In this podcast we are talking big ideas, actual and actionable takeaways, and lots of fun with the camp community and professionals!
“Ding, Level Two”. On this episode, Allison Krabill is joined by Leilani Nussman to share more about the Facilitator Elevator. You’re probably thinking, “I saw the posts about this. They had really good food. Quarius was there. But what was the Facilitator Elevator?”
Between Allison and Leilani, they share more about the week and how a handful of camp facilitators got together to level up and collaborate! They get into what activities stood out to them, ways facilitation is for all, and a bite-sized taste of Leilani’s work with Anit-Racist Summer Camps.
If you’re looking for some facilitation ideas and two new pals reminiscing, this is the podcast for you.
Producer EmJ’s takeaways:
Everyone is a facilitator. Even your quiet staff member who will have to go over cabin agreements.
It can be beneficial to share what feedback you’re looking for before you present. Give your audience a specific lens to look through!
If someone started crying in my presentation, I am genuinely unsure of what I would do. Now these two have me thinking.
