leader as coach (lac hub) community meeting 

LAC Hub – Coach for Life

 

Context

How can the LAC hub run more smoothly and effectively?
Leader as coach community (LAC hub) is a community of coaches who are committed leaders, either in their company or in their community. After over 6 months of working and learning together, they wanted to set intentions and actions for the next 6 months. At the same time, the community wants to invite more participation, co-creation, and collaboration from its members.

Our role

As co-creation and collaboration are the key outcomes, we invite the team to practice those principles with us from the very beginning. Together with the core team of LAC hub, we help define focus areas to work on by setting up interviews and surveys before the meeting to understand where the members are in terms of needs, satisfaction, and frustrations. We co-design the meetings with the core team and make sure that the design allows the participants to work together as much as possible and make use of the collective wisdom. Through interactive games and simple frameworks (like Triple A Feedback), the team reflects on their collaboration, what works and what needs to be adjusted. We use graphic facilitation and graphic recording to help the participants keep track of their own discussion and make sure that all important information is documented in a clear and useful way.

Outcomes

The result is a clear template of next steps, people in charge and timeline, with excitement to implement. The team also learns how meetings can be interactive and participatory. They decide to invite more people from the community to contribute by opening up their meetings and establishing more chances for co-creation.
