The ability facilitate collaborative meetings is a critical skill for leaders. When done well, the facilitator creates an engaging discussion that has high attendance and prevents boredom. Most importantly, it creates an advantage for the team by aligning the group on the meeting’s topics. Accomplishing these goals with consistency as a facilitator takes time. Each discussion will put your decision making, time management, and leadership skills to the test. You will mess up at times, but the experience will provide important skills. I’ve been doing this for years, and I still screw up. I recently forgot to introduce the leading questions for a large retrospective discussion! We lost a ton of time from this mistake. The purpose of  this post is to teach you five methods of facilitation I’ve learned over the years.  I’ll also throw in a story or two where I’ve completely screwed everything up so you can avoid my mistakes. Method 1: Prepare for the Meeting Meetings have the stereotype of being a boring waste of time. Your goal as the facilitator is to make the discussion worthwhile for people to attend. To achieve this, you need to prepare. How I Learned the Importance of Preparing for Collaborative Meetings At my first job, I gave a presentation to college students about my career path as a software engineer. I enjoy giving presentations, but I didn’t practice the story I would tell. It wasn’t a big deal – I knew the main details from telling friends. I didn’t even need to make a slide deck! Fast forward to the day of the presentation. I walk up to the podium and start talking. What do you think happened? I bombed the entire story. I still knew the main beats of it, but without practice, I didn’t know how to connect them. I froze to think of the right words. Whenever I looked into the crowd, I saw… Blank stares. Silence. After five agonizing minutes, I finished and went back to my seat. No questions, zero engagement. I walked away from that day with an important lesson around public speaking. Regardless of whether I’m giving a presentation or facilitating a meeting, the same lesson applies: Always prepare. Being prepared provides clarity on how to engage with the audience. It gives you confidence in how to guide the group. You will know your stuff and everyone will see that. How I Prepare for Collaborative Meetings The first step towards preparation is understanding the goal of the meeting. The common goals I’ve seen are: Making a decision Gathering feedback Sharing information Group collaboration and interaction Depending on the goal, the content will vary. Let’s look at a meeting where a group makes a decision. For this discussion, you will have to outline the questions to answer, acquire contextual information, and figure out who should attend. For a discussion focused on gathering feedback, the goal is different. Your goal is to get attendees to talk and share information. You can do this with an activity that gets people talking to one another. You could also provide a list of questions for the group to answer over the session. Once you understand the goal of the meeting, you can use the following checklist of questions to prepare: What do I want the group to walk away thinking about? What will the agenda be? Which questions need to be answered by the end of the discussion? How much time should I give each topic? How will I get attendees engaged with the content? Who needs to attend the discussion? With preparation, you will facilitate meetings with confidence. Method 2: Find a Note-Taker for the Discussion Recording the notes of a meeting is important for our future selves. They provide important context. Sure, some people will miss the meeting and use the notes to catch up. In my experience, the real value comes when you need to refer to the notes a year from now. Meeting notes provide more than the details of the conversation. They capture specific decisions are made. why Considering the value of meeting notes, you may think that it’s your job as the facilitator to write them down. This is wrong. Facilitating a meeting demands your full attention. You need to focus on sticking to the agenda and guide the discussion. Having to record the meeting notes prevents you from doing all those tasks well. You’ll be too busy keeping up with what everyone is saying. You should be focusing on how to guide the discussion. In order to focus on creating collaborative meetings, an important method of facilitation is to find someone else to record the meeting notes. Rotate Who Records Meeting Notes Don’t have the same person take your meetings’ notes. The job comes with the cost of not being fully present in the meeting. Also, this role often gets delegated to the women on the team. This is because we have been socialized to associate “supportive” work with women. To create an , rotate the role of the scribe to different people. This will allow everyone to equally contribute to your discussions. inclusive environment Method 3: Manage the Time to Prevent Boredom How I Failed Managing Time as a Meeting Facilitator Earlier this year, I was facilitating an org-wide meeting of forty engineers. We had a bunch of topics to work through within an hour, so time management was critical. During the meeting, everything was going great! Good questions from the audience, we presenters sticking to the time, and I had a great note-taker. Then we got to the open discussion topic. I knew this topic was going to take a lot of time, and I reserved twenty minutes for it. The presenter was handling questions with ease, and nothing was surprising us. People were staying engaged, but we weren’t coming to a decision. At this point, I decided to have this conversation take over the rest of the meeting. This meant bumping the last topic off the agenda. I made the wrong choice. While the discussion worked out fine, the presenter of the topic I removed wasn’t happy. I could tell he spent a lot of time on his slides to make sure people understood the work his team was producing. This peer of mine deserved the space to celebrate the progress his team was making. I instead allowed the larger group to talk in circles. This wasn’t the first time I allowed a topic to go past its time. I’ve done it a bunch in retrospective meetings. It was the first time where I saw the negative impact of disrespecting the schedule of a meeting. How You Can Effectively Manage Time in a Meeting Time management is one of the methods of facilitation to focus on. It’s also one of the most difficult tasks to oversee. To effectively manage time, you will need to cut people off. This feels so rude. It feels like you’re not creating a collaborative meeting whenever you do it. You must overcome this feeling. To get past this internal hurdle, remember two things: The goal of the meeting. Your job as the facilitator. Understanding the meeting’s goal will provide the resolve needed to interrupt others. If you want the discussion to achieve the goal of the meeting, it’s up to you to ensure that happens. Regarding your job as the facilitator, your role in the meeting is to move the discussion forward. It is to take part in the conversation. primary not No one cares about the goal of the meeting as much as you do. No one else is paying attention to the clock as much as you. It’s your job to make the time productive for everyone. Getting over this feeling will be hard at first. I hope that remembering your goal and job will give you the resolve you need. People will respect you for respecting their time. Method 4: Create an Inclusive Space for ALL Voices in the Room Have you ever been in a meeting where someone said nothing for an hour, only to come to the group later with plenty to say? Every time this happens to me, I always wish they spoke up sooner. Then there are the people that talk to process their thoughts. They always mean well, but can often fail to listen to others. As a facilitator, you’re going to need to figure out how to engage with these communication styles. Understanding these styles will make it easier to create collaborative meetings. Every meeting will have a mixture of extroverted and introverted communicators. Extroverted Communicators often process information in the meeting on the fly. Their primary model of communication is “talking to think”. These people will often be the most active members of the meeting. Extroverted communicators Depending on the meeting type, they are great additions to the group. They will get others to talk and engage. For these situations, you won’t need to do anything to get these people to engage. In other meetings, this communication style may be a detriment. Frequent interruptions. No space is given to others to speak. A lack of listening. This is where you need to manage the situation as the facilitator. I recommend paying attention to how everyone else in the room is responding to how the person is talking. Look for people that are failing to get their word in on the conversation. When you see this, take the step to interrupt the current speaker and create that space. You’ll also need to pay attention to when people interrupt others. Introverted communicators put a lot of thought into their words. It sucks if they get interrupted after a couple of words. Pay the most attention to this group in a meeting. If they get interrupted, stop the interrupter, and give the space back to the original person. Introverted Communicators The “quieter”, or , communicators in the room need a different management style. I focus on making sure they come prepared for the meeting. introverted Introverted communicators spend a lot of their mental energy in deep thought. They want to make sure they have a full understanding of a topic before responding. This is why they are often quiet in meetings – they are processing the information. They want their words to be meaningful and clear when they speak. To support this communication type, share preparation materials before the meeting. This will provide others time to understand the topics of the meeting. When they come to the meeting, they will be more focused on contributing to decisions. The result will be a more engaging conversation from the most thoughtful members of the team. Book Recommendation To learn more about navigating different communication styles, I highly recommend the book . Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking As an extroverted communicator, I often struggled to talk with introverted communicators. This book helped me in understanding how to engage with my teammates. Method 5: Define Action Items for the Discussion Depending on the meeting type, the method of facilitation you will need to use defining action items. While it’s easy to collect these items, the real challenge is following through. To process action items, use this checklist when preparing for the meeting: Work with your note-taker to record action items throughout the meeting. Reserve 3 to 5 minutes at the end of the meeting to review existing action items and ideate on others. Ensure there is an owner for each action item. . If no one owns an action item, they won’t do it. This step is critical Decide how you wish to follow up on the action items. Will it be a week later at the team meeting, through email, or something else? Depending on your relationship with the team, some action items will be assigned to you. If you are a leader of the team, this is normal. Your job is to support the team. These tasks will often be things focused on the people of the team. Configure Jira, get in touch with a stakeholder, make sure that Dale’s birthday cake is delivered, etc. you tackle these action items on top of everything else is a post for another day. Remember that you can ask for help from the team. Maybe people didn’t feel like speaking up in the group to own an action item. They may be more amiable to own it after a one-on-one conversation. How For tasks that are assigned to others, your best bet is to check in with the owner about a week later. Often, people forget they had to look into the work and you asking about it will remind them. Conclusion A fundamental skill you need on the journey to become a great leader is the ability to facilitate collaborative meetings. Putting the work into preparation will give you the confidence to hold the group accountable to an agenda. Finding a partner to record notes will provide you the space to pay attention to the dynamics of the conversation. In the meeting itself, it’s up to you to be focused on the goal of the meeting, the time left, and how the group interacts. Do the work to understand the communication styles of the group beforehand. Look to create space for different types of communicators. Collaborative meetings are worth the time if you make them engaging for the audience. Your teammates will feel productive if they walk away feeling aligned with the decisions made from the discussion. What methods of facilitation do you use?

Successfully Change Collaborative Meetings With These Five Proven Methods of Facilitation

I love when I work on one demo, hit an issue, discover something else, and get joyfully distracted into learning something completely different. In this case, it was a suggestion to help with an issue I was having with output from a prompt, and while it wasn't a good solution for what I was doing, it an eye-opening look at a really cool feature of - Function Calling. was Generative AI Now, I'm new to GenAI, and new to this particular feature, having been introduced to it a bit less than twenty-four hours ago. I know it's supported by Google AI APIs as well as OpenAI, and a quick search around other offerings seems to imply it's a universal thing. I want to give a quick shout-out to , who helped me wrap my head around this a bit. Any misunderstanding is on me, though, not him. Allen Firstenberg What is Function Calling? Typically, in a GenAI application, you issue a prompt and get a response in text or an image if you're using something like Firefly. Function calling is a bit different. Instead of returning text, the idea is to return the of your prompt mapped to a particular function. intent That probably doesn't make sense, but I think a good way of thinking about it is how Alexa works. Now, I haven't done any Alexa development in a couple of years, but it was cool. When building an Alexa skill, you define the various "intents" that should be supported by it. incredibly Consider a coffee store. When you go in, you probably only want to do one of two things: Ask for a menu (i.e., what kinds of coffee do you have) Make an order When building your Alexa skill, you define those two intents, and define what arguments they may take. The first one, "What's on the menu," would take none, but the second one, "I'd like to order an espresso," would have an argument for the product. You would define a few sample prompts (utterances in Alexa development), and from there, Alexa was smart enough to map random human input. So, for example, I could say: I need a damn coffee, please. I want an espresso, if you don't mind. I'd like to buy a double frap mocha latte with unicorn sprinkles and magic. Alexa would map of these to one intent - making an order. Even better, it would then determine the product: all coffee espresso double frap mocha latte with unicorn sprinkles and magic And finally, here's the cool bit. While Alexa did all the work of figuring this out, it would pass to your code something like this: {
	"intent":"order",
	"product":"coffee"
} This worked well (at least when I last used it) and maps to what function calling does. really kinda Ok, seriously, what is it? Alright, so given the above, for our GenAI application, we can consider this feature to be a way to map your input to a function, with intelligent parsing of the input into various arguments. I'm going to steal an example from the involving movies. In their code sample, they define three functions: Google docs find_movies find_theaters get_showtimes Each of these has arguments. as an example, has arguments for the location, movie, theater, and date. is simpler and just requires a location and movie. get_showtimes find_theaters If I use a prompt like then, the API attempts to map that to a function figure out the arguments. Here is a portion of the result for that call demonstrating this: Which theaters in Mountain View show Barbie movie? and "content": {
	"parts": [
		{
		"functionCall": {
			"name": "find_theaters",
			"args": {
				"movie": "Barbie",
				"location": "Mountain View, CA"
			}
		}
		}
	]
}, The important thing to note here is that the result is Rather, you are expected, much like in Alexa, to take this and implement that logic yourself. The API has handled the parsing and figured out the intent from the prompt, so the hard parts are done. Now it's up to you to actually do the boring logic bit. not the end! Show me a demo! So I played with this a bit, of course, and built a simple demo. First off, note that the does support using this feature yet. However, the REST API was so trivial I'm almost tempted not to ever return to the SDK. Node.js SDK not At a high level, you pass in an object that will contain your prompt and then an array of function_declarations objects that define each function along with its arguments. This is all passed to the endpoint along with your key, and... literally, that's it. I also found that when I messed things up, Google's API did a really good job of describing what I did wrong. Let's look at a function that supports a function (sorry if that's confusing) related to ordering a product: const API_KEY = process.env.GOOGLE_AI_KEY;

async function runGenerate(prompt) {

  let data = {
    contents: {
      role: "user",
      parts: {
        "text": prompt
      }
    },
    tools: {
      function_declarations: [
		{
			"name":"order_product",
			"description":"order or buy a product",
			"parameters": {
				"type":"object",
				"properties":{
					"product": {
						"type":"string",
						"description":"The product to be ordered."
					},
					"quantity":{
						"type":"number",
						"description":"The amount of the product to be ordered."
					}
				},
				"required":["product"]
			}
		}

      ]
    }
  }

  let resp = await fetch(`https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-pro:generateContent?key=${API_KEY}`, {
    method:'post',
    headers:{
      'Content-Type':'application/json'
    },
    body:JSON.stringify(data)
  });

  return await resp.json();
} In the section, you can see one function, , with a description and two parameters - product and quantity. I've also specified that only the product is required. tools order_product I pass this entire object and just return the response. While I'm absolutely not sure about my use of functions here, at least in terms of using the REST endpoint, it really is that simple, which is great for testing. Speaking of - I did some quick tests with an array of inputs: const prompts = [
'I want to order a coffee.',
'I want to buy an espresso.',
'I want to get two espressos',
'Whats on the menu?',
'What time is love?',
'May I buy ten cats?',
'I want to order ten cats'
	];

for(let p of prompts) {
	let result = await runGenerate(p);
	//console.log(JSON.stringify(result,null,'\t'));
	console.log(`For prompt: ${p}\nResponse: ${JSON.stringify(result.candidates[0].content,null,'\t')}\n`);
	console.log('------------------------------------------');
} As you can see, I have a couple of 'normal' inputs, along with some off-the-wall ones. I was curious what would happen. Let's take a look. First one: For prompt: I want to order a coffee.
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "functionCall": {
                                "name": "order_product",
                                "args": {
                                        "product": "coffee"
                                }
                        }
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} Note that quantity is not present. It's optional so that's ok, and I'd expect you would just default to 1. I to set a default in my function declaration, but it wasn't supported (or, more likely, I did it wrong). tried Next: For prompt: I want to buy an espresso.
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "functionCall": {
                                "name": "order_product",
                                "args": {
                                        "quantity": 1,
                                        "product": "espresso"
                                }
                        }
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} Notice this time it supply a quantity. did Next: For prompt: I want to get two espressos
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "functionCall": {
                                "name": "order_product",
                                "args": {
                                        "quantity": 2,
                                        "product": "espresso"
                                }
                        }
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} Good job picking up the quantity! Next: For prompt: Whats on the menu?
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "text": "Sorry, I do not have access to that information."
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} So this is a good example of a failure. It return a human-like textual response. I suppose how you handle this depends on the application. A simple thing to do would be to ignore a text response and consider it an error in general, and perhaps ask for a new prompt. did parts Next: For prompt: What time is love?
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "text": "I cannot fulfill this request because I lack the corresponding tools."
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} The KLF is sad you don't know the answer to this, Google. Next: For prompt: May I buy ten cats?
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "text": "I am sorry but that is beyond my capabilities."
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} This one surprised me. I'm not sure why it failed. Maybe if my function declaration specified a list of possible products, it would work better. As I've said - I'm new to this. Next: For prompt: I want to order ten cats
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "text": "I am sorry, but I cannot process your request. I am not able to order or sell pets such as cats."
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} Very similar to the last one. I do find it kind of cool that it returned a different human-ish response, which is cool. Now, in my testing, I thought I'd try a second function related to querying the price of a product: {
	"name":"product_price",
	"description":"return the price of a product",
	"parameters": {
		"type":"object",
		"properties":{
			"product": {
				"type":"string",
				"description":"The product to be queried."
			}
		},
		"required":["product"]
	}
} Unfortunately, this made every previous good response switch to this version, even before I added prompts to ask for a price instead. I think... maybe... I didn't quite differentiate them enough for the API to be able to properly route them, but I'd love to hear from others what they think. In general, it definitely feels more 'fragile' than Alexa, but I'm still absolutely fascinated by this use-case for GenAI. Now that I'm actually supporting comments here, I'd love to know if anyone out there's using this - and if you can - I'd love to see some code. Also published . here

It’s still unknown how long this price will last for these Amazon-exclusive earbuds, so keep an eye on them if none of the other pricier options interest you! Price: $25.99 Buy now on Amazon 4. Sony WF-C500 While these don’t quite fall into their flagship offerings, the WF-C500 earbuds from Sony still offer competitive performance — especially at their sale price of just $58. While they feature a fair amount of battery life and pretty good water resistance, where these earbuds truly shine are through their sound quality. Not only do they sound pretty great out of the box, but they can also be customized using a special app made by Sony themselves. This app is optional if you want to use these earbuds, but it does provide a greater level of knowledge and customization. Some users noted issues with the microphone and, once again, charging. Additionally, the features provided by the WF-C500 buds aren’t nearly as impressive as those found in more expensive options. Still, if all you care about is great sound, fantastic fit, and some welcome customization features, the WF-C500 are arguably second to none. Price: $68.00 on Amazon, $69.99 on Sony’s website. Buy now on or Amazon Sony 5. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 (International) Getting your hands on Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 can be expensive if you don’t know where to look. Luckily, Amazon is selling the international version of these buds for under $100. From fantastic sound quality to incredible battery life and extra active noise canceling, there’s very few things you could change about these buds to make them better. Despite this, the international listing for the Galaxy Buds 2 has some unfortunate caveats. Some reviewers noted that they might have received fake products while others noted inconsistencies with the fit and design in comparison to previous Galaxy Buds iterations. Those who purchase these earbuds should be wary of these problems and keep return policies in mind just in case something goes wrong. If you’re still feeling cautious, just wait for the US version to go on sale! Price: $80.65 on Amazon (International version), $119.99 on Samsung’s website (US version) Buy now on or Amazon Samsung 6. Anker Soundcore Space A40 The Space A40 earbuds are the best earbuds for those that want to see how far their budget can get them. Priced at $99.99, these earbuds feature incredible battery life, stable Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, wireless charging, and even a custom app. Some users have noted disappointing sound quality, but the app easily allows users to adjust this to their liking. The price of these earbuds is quite high in comparison to other choices on this list, but it’s also as high as the price will get. Many users have noted the ability to easily get discount codes and coupons for the Space A40 buds. If you manage to come across one of these codes for yourself, these are definitely worth a closer look! Price: $99.99 Buy now on or Amazon soundcore 7. JBL Tune 230NC TWS Much like the Space A40 earbuds, the Tune 230NC TWS from JBL make very few compromises in exchange for fantastic quality. They offer very similar specs while including features like active noise canceling and decent waterproofing. They miss out on a few features, but these earbuds from JBL are currently being offered at a sale price of 25-30% off. Users also note that the sound quality is fantastic out of the box without any need for adjustments. There isn’t much else to say about these earbuds; they offer perfect value for anyone uninterested in the extra features of more expensive options. Price: $69.95 on Amazon, $89.95 on JBL’s website. Buy now on or Amazon JBL 8. Your favorite wired earbuds + FiiO BTR3K While this technically isn’t a pair of wireless earbuds, the BTR3K from FiiO is a particularly special solution for those comfortable with their wired pairs. It acts as a Bluetooth amp of sorts, allowing users to connect their wired earbuds and basically transform them into wireless ones. As a result, any features your wired buds already have can be used in full with this device. It also features onboard controls and a decent amount of battery life, granting users an experience quite comparable and sometimes even better than other true wireless offerings. Since you’re technically still using wires, this amp can be somewhat cumbersome for those with active lifestyles. Some users also noted issues with quality and performance, so make sure you’re buying from someone reputable! The BTR3K is mainly sold by third party resellers due to FiiO’s focus on more expensive Bluetooth amps, but it’s still worth a look if you simply aren’t happy with budget true wireless earbuds. Price: $69.99 Buy now on or Amazon FiiO What to Consider for the Best Wireless Earbuds Under $100 Even with an increased budget, the greatest wireless earbuds are still difficult to find in this price range. What you’ll want to focus on most is sound quality, battery life, and overall fit, as you’ll be wearing a good pair of earbuds for a very long time. If you manage to find sale prices for more popular buds like the AirPods Pro, the Galaxy Buds Pro, or the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds, it might be worthwhile to go a bit over your budget. At least until true wireless earbuds are just as affordable and consistent as wired options.
