@SarahGwasQ @LetchworthGC Such a pleasure to have been brought in. And to be reunited with @SarahGwasQ!

Huge love for this 😁 And so glad you found it useful @HailstonesSarah...! There really is so much to the craft of facilitating.

Also @NickHernBooks have a blog post with some of my top tips from the book, if anyone wants to get a feel for it 😎

For my fellow facilitators out there, ‘The Drama Workshop Leader’ by @LindenWB is an absolute must read. This book feels like having an honest, playful and thoughtful chat with a colleague. I feel so seen!📕

@NNadifactress @joshHparr Thanks for this. Think I'm at an AI event in London that day so highly doubt I can.

@AshleyActor5678 @NationalTheatre @NickHernBooks What an absolute legend you are my friend 😁 Hope all is well on your end...!

@RobDexES To be honest you'd be much better off seeing the December one. The presentation is very visual, with the examples mostly shown through images, audio, video and live demonstrations.

[Linden Walcott-Burton FRSA @LindenWB]

I've been leading on the impact of AI on the creative industries for the London Mayor. Doing two online sessions that're free for the industry. Check them out...!

@RobDexES Were you able to make the talk? I sent a transcript to those that attended. There's another one in December.

[ALVA @alva_uk]

What a fantastic Council meeting in the wonderful setting of @bletchleypark - brilliant presentations from @IainStanden, Richard Orr of @NHM_London, @LindenWB of @LDN_Culture and @TheChiefCheese and our own @bernarddonoghue - thought-provoking, inspiring, lots of data & insights.

[Dominic Jones @DominicJonesUK]

Not sure whether I’m excited or scared about the future after hearing @LindenWB and his views on AI @alva_uk today

[Linden Walcott-Burton FRSA @LindenWB]

@haynes_dave Hi Dave. I'm currently working for the Greater London Authority, doing a piece of research on artificial intelligence and the Metaverse in the creative sector. I wondered if we could have a conversation about it? Given your work in the space.

[Linden Walcott-Burton FRSA @LindenWB]

Because even if all of your (brilliant) recommendations were put in place, it'd still leave a generation or two in the place they are now. Are there any thoughts on that? Is it just widespread CBT, or is it too late? @glukianoff

[Linden Walcott-Burton FRSA @LindenWB]

@JonHaidt I'm a huge fan of your work. But surely your After Babel journey has a gap. The prevention angle is right ie free range kids, social media policies etc. But what about the generations that have already grown up? What can be done? That needs treatment, not prevention.
