I’ve seen this technique used recently a few times to stimulate participants’ thinking on the topic of the day. The facilitator shows an interesting picture – on a screen – and asks the audience to express their thoughts on what the image represents.<\/strong> One asked how the beach scene they had chosen connected with what they and their clients care about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The debrief discussion usually reveals all sorts of good ideas. For example, a picture of the Statue of Liberty, shrouded partly in fog, prompted responses of freedom, of movement, of local traders’ dependence on each other. Someone else said it reminded them of the importance of a strong brand. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was particularly effective when the facilitator added one or two kickers<\/strong> to supplement what had been said. In this case, with a group from a humanitarian organisation, we were reminded (or informed) that this Liberty is an immigrant, a migrant worker, a woman – and that despite her poverty and vulnerability, she was welcomed according to the poem inscribed in the base, with its invitation to ‘bring your huddled masses’.<\/span><\/p>\n

That set several strands running for the subsequent workshop. What image of an icon could produce this richness for you and your topic?<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you an accomplished facilitator or new to running workshops? Do you want to get even better?\u00a0We run several masterclasses every year and you\u2019re welcome to join any of them.\u00a0Contact<\/a>\u00a0us<\/strong>\u00a0and we\u2019ll tell you more.<\/strong><\/p>\n
