These kinds of exercises will work better with larger groups where I&#8217;m not a participant. That said, I think the participants still got good practice facilitating a conversation and being up in front of a room, and the content was valuable too.<\/li>\n<li>20 minutes isn&#8217;t that long, but it&#8217;s enough to get some practice and to demonstrate some things.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Round 1 Discussion<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 14px;\">Saw some nice facilitative moments from both participants: listening and reflection, good presence.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Good demonstration of the importance of the opening question. For first-level participants, I can focus the entire bootcamp around generative questions, and I think it will be valuable.<\/li>\n<li>Debrief took almost as long as the discussion itself! Part of the reason was that I wanted to address some of the content of the discussion, as it&#8217;s relevant to what they&#8217;re trying to learn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Round 2 Discussion<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 14px;\">\u00a0In a lot of ways, mirrored the first round in that both participants had nice facilitative moments, and it was a good practice opportunity to demonstrate the impact of the opening question.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>In both rounds, also demonstrated the importance of What and Why questions (vs How).<\/li>\n<li>Didn&#8217;t have much time for debrief, since we were running out of time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Homework<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 14px;\">Neither participant was able to complete this due to scheduling challenges with their colleagues.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Lessons Learned<\/h2>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th width=\"50%\">WENT WELL<\/th>\n<th width=\"50%\">COULD BE BETTER<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: inherit; line-height: 2;\">Hit the 90-minute mark (although started a bit late)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Participants are really starting to see the importance of generative questions.<\/li>\n<li>Surfaced a key theme among both participants (conflict-aversion).
