First Time Facilitator Flight mode and for-purpose facilitation with Mel Kettle (#fromthevault)
This week's #fromthevault episode is with the delightful Mel Kettle. I'm replaying it because I spoke to her recently, and it was a great reminder of how great she is at navigating the two roles of 1) Being an expert and 2) Being a facilitator.
I got off the phone to her feeling invigorated - she asks superb questions, and has a wealth of experience. You'll get to hear all of that today!
Mel Kettle is a communication and engagement expert, speaker, author, facilitator, trainer and mentor. We recorded this chat in Brisbane in 2019, and she threw down a video challenge on that show, which is even more relevant today.

In this podcast we discuss her work with social media and how she prepares and plans for upcoming facilitation events. Mel was also lucky enough to attend Social Media Marketing world in 2019, and she shares what she learnt from that. We again discuss video - you can’t escape the conversation around video these days!
