Now it’s time to discuss what to do with our feet.
Some of us have a tendency to march back and forth across the room. Others will rock from side to side, while others will rock forward and backward as if it’s the Last Tango in Training.
Get two pieces of shirt cardboard and place them on the floor slightly less than shoulder width apart. Stand on them and stay there while you practice your delivery and facilitation. Pretend they are roots that go through the floor.
Are we advocating now that you don’t move at all? Well, not at all. We love facilitators that move, Movement is the first thing the human eye notices because our survival mechanism wants to know if the mover is predator or prey, but movement should be slow and deliberate, otherwise return to your shirt cardboard.
And remember, the cardboard or paper is for practice.
Cardboard, leave home without it.
