As part of International Facilitation Week, on October 22, and again on October 24, UK facilitator @MartinGilbraith and I are hosting a Twitter (aka Tweet) chat.
Each chat will run for one hour, from 9:00-10:00am PST / 12:00-1:00pm EST / 5:00-6:00pm UK time (GMT +1:00). Each chat will include 6-8 questions, spaced throughout the hour, for you to answer, comment on, comment on other people’s answers, ask questions, etc.
The chat is basically a dialogue, a conversation between fellow facilitation professionals, discussing the topic at hand.
Twitter chats are a great way to connect, share, learn, and have fun, with a community of practice; i.e., facilitators (including mediators!).
So here are the details for October 22 chat:

A bit about Twitter chats… If you are new to Twitter, and/or Twitter (aka Tweet) chats, this recent article, How to Participate in a Tweet Chat, by Janet Fouts (@jfouts), helps explain things.
