Hey fellow sprinters, For a while now, I've been thinking about how to measure something I see happening in every process I facilitate: the power of collaboration. How do you objectively quantify the energy generated when several people think and create together toward a shared goal? That's how my latest experiment/hallucination came to life: BrainPower — a collaborative power calculator. Designed in Miro and prototyped in Coda, this is my first adventure into the wild lands of vibe coding. Far from a one-shot prompt, it took a lot of back-and-forth to refine the logic and build out the visuals I designed in Figma. Finally, the thing is done and is live for everyone to use. I think it turned out pretty easy and intuitive — just plug in 4 variables, hit calculate, and get your results instantly. Available in Portuguese and English, free and responsive. INPUT - Time: process duration in hours - People: number of participants - Mode: in-person, remote, or hybrid - Participation: whether participants will be split into sub-groups (Y/N) OUTPUT - BrainPower: the process's potential collaborative power - BrainWork: total collective intelligence applied throughout the process - BrainOps: total brain operations performed - Process Efficiency: a quick assessment of the process quality - AI Equivalence: number of top-tier GPUs and time needed to match the same BrainWork - Energy: metabolic consumption of all brains involved, and how long that would power a 4-person household - Amplification: the time it would take one person to do the same work alone (in hours and working days) - Intellectual Output: number of pages and books written with the same intellectual effort Want to know more about how all of this holds together? Why did I choose each unit of measurement and comparison metric? How do the amplification and efficiency degradation factors work? It's all laid out in the About section of the calculator, complete with interactive charts.

hello, fellow facilitators! I'm thrilled to introduce you to The Archetyper, an assessment for discovering facilitation archetypes. over 500 people have dived in and discovered their unique styles, and now it's your turn to join the party! in the world of facilitation, there's no one-size-fits-all. no 'right' or 'wrong' style. it's all about finding what clicks with you, what feels authentic and true. each facilitator forges their unique path, blending knowledge and experiences to create something special. reflecting on my own facilitation journey and observing numerous facilitators in action, I've identified five fundamental archetypes, each with a distinct focus and approach: - The Icebreaker: focus on people + rational approach - The Frameworker: focus on results + rational approach - The Empathizer: focus on people + emotional approach - The Provocator: focus on results + emotional approach - The Holistical: broad or diffuse focus and multiple or undefined approach and here's the exciting part – you can discover yours in just 13 questions. whether you're a seasoned facilitator or just starting your journey, The Archetyper has something for you. it's a tool for exploration, self-discovery, and a little bit of magic. ready to dive in? hit those 13 questions and find out what makes you tick as a facilitator. then, tell me who you are, share it, and let's celebrate your unique archetype! https://bit.ly/thearchetyperEN . hey ho, let's go! best, pedro

Greetings everyone! 👋 I'm very curious in learning about the locations of the people in the community. Perhaps you'll also discover that there are more members from your area than you previously thought! (and even we may summarise the outcome in a visual, how cool would that be :-) )

Hi everyone! My name is Pedro. I'm a designer and facilitator from Rio de Janeiro, living now in Lisbon. It's nice to be in touch with a community of fellow facilitators! Let's keep in touch.
