Today I'm welcoming Laura Duchatelet, a Belgian workshop facilitator, who sent me a message a few weeks ago asking if we could meet in Bali, where I've been based for the last few months. We're involved in the same communities of workshop facilitators, connected on social networks, but we'd never spoken or met before. We spent 4 days together and took the opportunity to record a live episode, as Laura is involved in a number of very interesting projects. So welcome to this episode, where we talk about . 👉🏻 Her background and path to facilitation 👉🏻 The event she organised to teach women how to network better and make deeper connections. 👉🏻 Why travel makes us better facilitators. 👉🏻 The learning experience with AI, she prepares for teams to teach them about this new technology and the impact on future work. 👉🏻 Her mission for worknomads, a global employer for digital nomads.

In this episode, i had the pleasure of speaking with Alexandru Popa, the Associate Director of Blockchain for Pharma Supply Chain at MSD. We discussed the link between MSD and blockchain technology and how this innovative technology is being used in the pharmaceutical industry to gather and record data. Alexandru shared with us how Design Thinking can be a useful approach for implementing new technologies, especially when there is no framework or use case available. He also emphasized the importance of having an external facilitator to guide teams through the process of innovation and highlighted some of the benefits of facilitation as an essential skill in a company. We delved into some common misconceptions about meetings and explored ways to make them more meaningful, whether online or face-to-face. We also discussed some tips and tricks for keeping engagement high in remote sessions. Overall, this was a fascinating conversation about the intersection of blockchain technology, design thinking, facilitation, and Flamenco, and we hope you found it as insightful as we did.
