Greetings Fellow Facilitators!

I want to thank those of you who responded to my last email about FActivities.com. Your responses were very helpful and I've made significant progress on that site. If you missed that memo, it's dated August 21st and you can view it in the Archives.

FActivities.com.

Just to jog your memory, Factivities.com is one of the major projects planned for FacilitatorU.com. It will be a large online database of experiential exercises, organized for facilitators and trainers to use with their groups. Here is a summary of our progress so far:

- We put together a logo and simple site concept and have it up at FActivities.com. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

- Have developed a list of exercise categories listed under the "Exercise" link on the site and repeated below. Please look through these and let us know if we should add, change, or delete anything:

  • Action Planning

  • Blocks to Learning

  • Building Trust

  • Change Management

  • Closers

  • Communication Skills

  • Conflict Management

  • Competition/Collaboration

  • Consensus Building

  • Diversity

  • Ethics

  • Giving and Receiving Feedback

  • How Groups Work

  • Icebreakers/Openers

  • Leadership

  • Life/Career Planning

  • Motivation

  • Negotiation/Bargaining

  • Personal Growth

  • Personal Styles

  • Problem Solving

  • Role Dynamics

  • Self-Disclosure

  • Sensory Awareness

  • Sex Roles

  • Team-Building

  • Vision, Mission, Values, Strategy

 

- We've also put together an exercise format defining the pieces of information required for each exercise. Please check it out here and let us know if you think we've covered all the bases or not. We filled this form out for a sample exercise and that can be viewed under the example link on the same page.

- Put out a request to the larger facilitation and coaching community asking them to submit their exercises in accordance with our predefined format. They will be allowed to submit their resource box as well to highlight themselves as the contributor of the exercise.

- In addition to making this a membership site, we're also exploring idea of publishing an ebook with quarterly updates as part of a yearly subscription fee. Any thoughts you have on a business model would be helpful.

- This database will not only benefit FacilitatorU.com but will also be a showcase for our readers and customers offering them an opportunity to easily share themselves and their work with a large and growing network of fellow professionals and potential clients worldwide.

Thanks very much for your support!

Warmest regards,


Steve Davis
