#3: Kelli McMahan - (30+ years) Tennis Ball Pass, Blindfold Outcomes, What? Processing Model, Processing using Anything, Finesse, Be Yourself!
Kelli has been team building for over 30 years. In this episode we find out some of her favorite activities and why she has returned to using 'blindfolds' in order to explore concepts like vulnerability and communication. Kelli also shares how she uses the processing model What? So What? and Now What? (an extension of the basic model) and how she teaches her students to use 'anything' for metaphorical learning.
In her work and when teaching facilitators, Kelli believes, it's an "awesome responsibility and a privilege" to get to be part of working with the people in our groups. We can "make it an incredible experience or just ho-hum" - we have this choice at every moment.
Kelli tells us to:
- Keep asking questions.
- If you don't know...Well, what if you did?
- Be yourself. Be authentic.
