Note from Beth: I’m hosting a small army of guest bloggers, grantmakers, who are attending the GeoFunders National Conference taking place this week in Seattle. The session started out with a group exercise, a living spectrogram. The GEO community is united by a common drive to challenge the norm in pursuit of better results.

Last week, I visited the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle. The guide, Vi Mar, was an incredible facilitator. One man (Gordon from Kirkland) told us that "Vi is kind of a celebrity" in the Seattle Chinatown community, which made the rest of us more excited about taking a tour from her. What if it isn't what I expected?

To kick off the course, we’re doing a simple exercise at the Seattle zoo (but you can do it anywhere). The point of this experiment is to play with design conditions that support both facilitated and unfacilitated engagement with strangers.

On my end, I might have also filtered my social graph to just my friends here in Seattle so I could buy a friend a coffee or beer while he’s helping me think about phones. That builds customer satisfaction with my new purchase, which, let us not forget, was also facilitated by Friend Discovery.
