I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

While I was in Australia I recorded a podcast, pretty much on the spur of the moment, with Geoff Brown and Vic McWaters. We recorded it on a cliff overlooking the WinkiPop surf break nears Bells Beach. It’s a typically rambling performance but if you stick with it, we touch on a few interesting facilitation themes. We get into the idea of surfing as a metaphor for it, explained more by this post by Geoff. Listening to it this morning has been a good reminder for me about the importance of not trying too hard and not trying to be a genius.
