The Cookbook

THE DEEPER, FUNNER FACILITATION COOKBOOK:
Keep Them on the Edge of Their Seats and Propel Real Change
By Julie Sheldon Huffaker, illustrated by Gary Hirsch

A compact how-to, the cookbook is based on 10+ years of experimenting with co-creative facilitation techniques – including improvisation – for getting the best out of groups. If you’re a business leader, Learning + Development or HR guru, or consultant, you’ll get a rich new set of tools for facilitating meetings, workshops and presentations.

Our experimenting has evolved into a structure – a series of seven basic courses, if you will – that we find creates deeper, more impactful experiences. We use these in virtually all of our facilitated sessions. You can download a brief overview of this flexible scaffolding here.

“I feel like I was just given the secret recipes! This is a true gold mine of information for professionals looking to design and deliver engaging sessions that drive results. The innovative and creative approach is a masterful blend of art, science and going with the flow. It is an invaluable resource I will refer back to again and again.”
