Low-Effort, High-Impact Facilitation Strategies
I have a confession to make: I’m essentially lazy.
Not in the ‘cutting corners’ or ‘poor quality’ sense.
Lazy in the way that matters most to time-poor facilitators – I’m obsessed with finding the shortest path between effort and impact.
I’ve spent 35+ years asking myself: How can I create meaningful connection and engagement with the least amount of effort? Not because I don’t care, but because I care deeply about being strategically smart with my energy.
You know – low effort / high impact. And honestly, isn’t that what you want, too?
The Problem We All Face
You’re juggling tight schedules, back-to-back sessions, and clients expecting magic. Meanwhile, you’re drowning in options – thousands of activities, endless preparation lists, and the nagging feeling that engagement shouldn’t be this hard.
Here’s what I know:
- Effortless engagement is possible.
- Connection doesn’t require complexity.
- The best team-building facilitators aren’t the ones working hardest – they’re the ones working smartest.
Welcome to The Lazy Facilitator
This isn’t just a rebrand.
It’s a methodology that’s been 35+ years in the making, now finally named and ready to share.
playmeo remains your home for fun group games & activities. But the Lazy Facilitator concept is how we approach everything – from quick icebreakers to energising connection activities, and simple trust-building games to corporate team-building sessions.
Coming soon, we’re adding a BRAND NEW Lazy Rating (1-5 scale) system to every activity in our database – helping you instantly identify how much facilitator energy will be required to prep, lead and deliver outstanding results.
Because when you’re time-poor, you need to know exactly how much effort something will take (before you get started.)
