#19 Eri Hickey's Vibe - Why Improv is a good skill for workshop facilitators to have

What actually makes a workshop work? In this episode of Vision to Vibe, Nick sits down with Eri Hickey to unpack what it really takes to host workshops that engage people, spark ideas, and lead to meaningful outcomes — not just another session people sit through. A big part of that comes down to something most people don’t expect: improv. Eri shares why improv is such a powerful skill for facilitators — from being present in the moment, to adapting to the room, to creating an environment where people feel comfortable contributing and thinking out loud. Because the reality is, no matter how well you plan a workshop, the magic happens in how you respond to what unfolds. They also explore the balance between structure and flexibility, how to guide conversations without controlling them, and what it really means to create space for collaboration instead of just delivering content. If you’re running workshops, leading sessions, or trying to get better at facilitating conversations that actually go somewhere — this one will shift how you think about it.

#18 Rach SebellShavit's vibe: How to inject play into your team meetings for serious biz outcomes

Most teams aren’t struggling because they “don’t care.”They’re struggling because they’re overloaded, moving fast, and trying to do change on top of everything else.In this episode of Vision to Vibe, I’m joined by one of my favorite humans (and longtime HubSpot day-one colleague), Rach SebellShavit, Founder of Helm360 and a Change Resilience Coach & Consultant. Rach hosts workshops to helps organizations navigate the gnarly parts of scale, growth, and transformation — not with more corporate jargon, but with practical methods that make change feel doable.This conversation is for you if you’re:-leading a team through a messy shift,-trying to influence without direct authority,-running workshops that sound good but don’t stick,-or building a service and wondering how to stay focused without drowning in “one more certification.”We talk about a deceptively simple facilitation move that separates “nice session” from “real progress” — backwards planning.Why LEGO® Serious Play works (even for skeptics) Yes, we talk about LEGO — and no, it’s not gimmicky.Rach explains LEGO® Serious Play as a hands-on thinking tool that reduces cognitive overload, gets people into flow, and makes the abstract visible. Everyone builds. Everyone shares. It’s shockingly effective for surfacing the real blockers — knowledge, environment, skill, or motivation — and for creating alignment without the usual “who talks most wins” meeting dynamic.Near the end, Rach shares a practice I love: after the builds and discussion, she creates two minutes of silence and asks one question:What are you going to do differently?Not a vague intention. A specific experiment. Written down. Shared out loud. Something the group can actually hold onto.Because if nobody says it out loud… nobody can hold you to it.If you’re leading change, designing workshops, or trying to get a team aligned without burning them out, this episode will give you language and tactics you can use immediately.🤝 Connect with Rach on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachsebellshavit/🎧 Listen to more episodes on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6LfjYkI8uqIclyuP0RmRyq?si=889dd01d441f41f4 👀 Watch more on YouTube: https://youtu.be/heTF-dLgUns🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vision-to-vibe/id1789391906
