b'About the Episode\\nBringing a new flavour to this season of Pause, this episode features Miki Stricker-Talbot, an intrapreneur with the City of Edmonton, who shares two warm-up techniques from her facilitation practices. With more of a tutorial style \\u2018how to\\u2019 episode, her and I walk through both techniques talking about what they are, demonstrating examples of how you can use them in your own practice and the impact and importance of them both.\\nThe first technique is a way to really check in with each other and see how we\\u2019re actually doing. It allows folks the opportunity give a surface answer if they don\\u2019t feel like sharing, but also space for a deeper answer if people are wanting to share.\\nThe second technique was created in collaboration with her daughter. This technique helps people recognize that we are physical beings and brings people into a different way of being together.\\nBoth allow a space for connection, camaraderie, humanness, and curiosity.\\n\\xa0\\nResource Links\\n\\n* Check out this blog post from Miki Stricker-Talbot that she previously wrote for ABSI Connect https://www.absiconnect.ca/news/2018/12/12/unicorns-in-government?rq=miki'
