FacilitatorU.com R&D Team

Overview

The FacilitatorU R&D Team is an intellectual factory providing significant levels of feedback and strategic input into the design, development, testing and perfecting of the intellectual property – and operations – of FacilitatorU.com.

As we develop the concept and offerings for this site, we'd love to involve you if you're interested in having a hand in the evolution of Facilitator U and are willing to provide thoughtful input to our requests for information. As a member, you can expect to receive periodic emails (2-3 per month) containing ideas, questions, and examples, that we'll ask you to think about and comment on. Your responses are invaluable, if not crucial, to making this site a success. Further, your active participation will involve you in a unique and collaborative creative process that you may be able to apply to your own creative business efforts and to your life.

If you find that from time to time you can't contribue, that's fine too. Either way, you'll enjoy being part of a community of creative collaborators, building something new and great in the virtual world, assisting yourselves and many others all over the real world.

Tips

1. Before you share an opinion, FIRST challenge yourself to see what the bigger place is that you're coming from. If you think from where you usually think from, you won't be much help on the R&D Team (or to yourself).

2. When you receive an R&D email from us that you react negatively to, just hang out with the idea/topic for a day or two before firing off an email to us.

3. Use the process of being on the R&D Team to evolve and expand yourself. Every single time you receive an email from us, use it as a catalyst (or a cattle prod) to think bigger and be bigger. Don't be the same person you were before you read it.

4. In your comments/feedback, be honest, fully communicate, and point out what you like about the project/idea and where you see the flaws. Write from YOUR experience/preferences, not what you think "facilitators" will like/dislike. You are the only one who matters here.

5. And, make sure you phrase your comments – especially the criticisms – in a positive, helpful tone.
