In this brief introductory talk, Flor Ortelli, a workshop designer from Argentina, presents her upcoming session "Perks of Taking the First Step" at the Never Done Before Festival. She reflects on the high demands placed on workshop participants—bold ideas, creativity, and public sharing—and argues that facilitators themselves must model these qualities by taking the first step, demonstrating creativity, overcoming judgment, and embracing vulnerability. Ortelli promises to share story‑based dynamics that facilitators can incorporate into future workshops, aiming to help them lead by example and foster a supportive, creative environment.

Hello everyone, my name is Flor Ortelli, I'm a workshop designer from Argentina and I will be hosting the Perks of Taking the First Step at the Never Done Before Festival. I have arrived to the conclusion that facilitators demand so much from their teams. We ask them to have bold ideas, to share their creative side and to expose themselves in front of others. But can facilitators take Take the first step on this and set the example of what it is to be creative, to overcome judgment, and to feel vulnerable. In this workshop, I will show you some dynamics based on your stories that you can use for this in your next workshop. I hope you find it interesting, and I see you all in the festival.
