Inspiration and connection

There is one way often used by coaches is to describe the inner conflict of a person with different voices and giving them a graphical optical background.I have this created in miro - This example shows the inner conflict of a person who hears from his boss:I have choosen you for this task, because you’re the only one who can do this.The inner conflict of this person is:He is totally exausted and without any energy on one side and on the other side he feels flattered by his boss. He likes to shout at his boss but his inner voices telling him not to do so … I really love to work with miro in a coaching process … it offers me so much to show: Michael

After using Miro for 3+ years, it’s still fun when you discover something you didn’t know.In this example, I will group the four images and then double-click the top-left one (the cat with the fishbowl) and move it separate from the group. Next I will do the same with the puppy. This saves me from Ctrl+Shift+G to ungroup, rearrange, and then Shift+drag to select all and Ctrl+G to group. I didn’t see any mention of this in the Structuring Board Content → Grouping Help Center article, but I expect it’s a feature and not a bug.

As an Agile Coach I used to work with clients in-person - I love that ❤️Conducting a remote workshop isn’t just the same - nor should it be. Both formats have their benefits and disadvantages, but as a facilitator I can’t just do the same in a remote setting what I used to do in-person by using a digital whiteboard. I reflected upon this little dilema in a recent article of mine. As a facilitator of a remote workshop I have to think about much more deliberatly then for an in-person workshop. I have to create and set the stage perfectly so that my audience isn’t drifting off. ➡️ Here you find my article: The missing 10 minutes before a remote workshop ⬅️❓I would love to know, what do you do differently when preparing a remote workshop compared to an in-person workshop? And what do you think about the tips I layed out in my article?⬇️Below you can find an example that I explain in the article how I try to set the stage even before the actual workshop has started.

Hello,I created a short video that shows most of the functions of miro in a German video.Michael

Hello, I am Nestor Zegarra, who recently graduated from Johannes Keppler University Business School in Linz, Austria. Due to covid-19 restrictions, I had to find a solution to conduct online qualitative research. Therefore, I chose to use MIRO for developing a focus group discussion.The different characteristics allow my research to collect the necessary data. The interviewees were able not only to express themselves but also to interact with each other. I believe that MIRO has great potential to develop more and more applications in different aspects of interaction and production of its users' data.I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar experience in using MIRO for research.

A very insightful study by PwC on #remotework trends. Zooming on the 'physical office' conundrum, it seems like employers and employees have different expectations on what the physical workplace should deliver.In my mind, I can see a promising middle ground that is the hybrid model. Simply because none of those factors quoted by both employers and employees are impossible to achieve while working remotely.What I'm proposing (in fact, a couple of my clients are running away with this idea!) is the concept of 'Virtual Middle Place' (somebody has a snazzier moniker?) It is a hybrid workplace enabled by collaborative and interactive platforms such as Miro, Mural and Stormboard.It is a middle place for an organisation where some people will choose to work from home, some in the office, and most will switch their environments once in a while. A very fluid working environment, yet always connected.Using #virtualmiddleplace, facilitative leadership theories and techniques, I believe I can help

Hi community!  My first post here, so nice to be part of this community.I’ve been exploring using Miro for causal loop diagrams or diagrams often used in Systems Thinking. Miro has been good for capturing elements (as text or sticky notes) and makes connecting them with different lines easier. The alignment tools allow me to align text with each other, but for more complex graphs this becomes more difficult.In an ideal world, I would love if Miro could automatically adjust the elements for easy readability. This would save me from moving each element and line around when we add more.Does anyone here use Miro for similar diagrams and found a way Miro can help focus on building and evolving a diagram, instead of fidgeting around with the layout?Thanks in advance.

It has been a different year, one that pushed us to reinvent ourselves and the way we work. I am pleased to invite you to visit the MARK-19 exhibition on Miro, which I willingly initiated. Together with three other classmates, we carried out the first online exhibition of Lund School of Architecture!. Link to Miro *:  In March 2020, about 11 months ago, we could no longer be freely physically together in our studios in A-building at Lund University.When I asked my friends studying in different universities how they handled this change in the study procedure, I became familiar with the Miro platform as a whiteboard for teamwork and collaboration.  Simultaneously, when I thought about not having an exhibition during my master’s studies, I felt the mission was incomplete. And most of all, the desire to be in our big group again, the Lund architectural family, which is valuable to me although short in presence. All of which went hand in hand with an idea to initiate this way. To use Miro a

For a world-travelling facilitator and trainer, March 2020 felt like my entire professional world had collapsed. Borders closed, clients either cancelled or postponed engagements, and suddenly my professional calendar looked pretty empty.What can I do when most of my work requires people-to-people engagement and interaction?And then I discovered Miro, and what a journey it has been! Read about my experience and my ‘Top 5 tips to transition into a virtual facilitator’:https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/making-jump-transitioning-virtual-facilitation-isman-tanuri/I’d love to hear your thoughts and your own experience too in the comments. Tell us your stories! 

Remember the classic TV show, Amazing Race? Ever wanted to be a part of it? Now you can and in Miro, of course!Last November, @NurulFathiyah created and delivered the A-Miro-Zing Race experience during an APAC Miro User Group event. It was a great success! @Joshua William Davies and I decided that, as with any savvy TV executives will tell you, “Let’s do a bigger LIVE re-run!”So here’s your opportunity to join this race, this 11 March. It’s going to be bigger and bolder as we have invited collaborators from around the world to contribute a piece of their own unique Miro experience to make up the puzzles and race challenges. It’s not a walk in a park, for sure.If you’re ready to have fun, laughter, and explore more Miro possibilities, register for the event now!https://events.miro.com/events/details/miro-apac-presents-a-miro-zing-race-2021-bigger-better-bolder/#/   

When our team started planning new projects for the current period, we decided that it was time to have everyone participate and commit. We also wanted everyone to know about everyone else’s projects, and we wanted to provide a chance for everyone to participate in anything that was of their interest and matched their skillset. Obviously, we jumped directly to Miro.In our board, a few things happen:Everyone participated planning the projects. Everyone shares updates on the activities related to the projects they are involved with. Everyone provides feedback!The last point is the one I am most excited about. During our monthly meetings, the whole team jumps into the Miro board to write questions, comments, suggestions, and provide help. We have never been a better connected team (even if we are working from home).

Hey Amazing Miro Community!As many of you know, the North American chapter of the Virtual Miro User Groups is led by @Annie and me, and we host monthly events to showcase speakers on their area of expertise and how they are using Miro in new or amazing ways.I wanted everyone to know about the cool virtual event we have coming up this Wednesday, February 24, at 4:00 pm PST.

I've just been trying to use Miro for Story Mapping using the Story Mapping template. It was looking good to start with but after a while when I came to need to organise Activities and items on the backbone row it all just fell apart and I had to give up.The behaviour of the Activity and Backbone row items basically breaks the entire usefulness of the User Story Map template for me. The way I story map, I have Activities at the top, then items on the backbone row form the 'walking skeleton', these are the minimum set of non-optional stories that enable the system to work. To start with items under the backbone might be details or sub-tasks of backbone items, but further down the map, perhaps several release slices down, tasks at that location still relate to the activity, but may not relate directly to whatever task was on the backbone row. These later tasks might represent alternative user journeys through the system, or quality of life improvements for the activity.The problem is tha

Miro has been an amazing platform for me professionally in the last year. I’ve told some stories in this community about my experience and experiments in using Miro.But now I’d like to invite Miro users in Asia Pacific to share your own Miro discovery, early pains, effective gains and how you are using Miro these days.Experts or novices, all are welcome to share! Remember to let us know where you’re from and I look forward to your Miro stories in this forum.PS. In case you’re not aware, we have a virtual Asia Pacific Miro User meetup group.

I’m looking for some advice and guidance on using miro for a working group.  If they are looking to post many documents, weblinks, images etc  within key themes - what is the best way to organize this? Folders?  Multiple boards?   Is it searchable?  Can they be nested within each other? If this a good tool for curating content/cataloguing content - or would you use a different tool such as google drive?  I like the visual nature of it, easy ability to upload - but I am not sure if Miro is a good tool for such work.  We are new at using it so any advice would be great.  Thanks,Julie

Hi Everyone,I’m new to Miro and I’m a bit stuck with something. Hoping that a Miro Hero can come to my rescue.I’m working on an internal help centre for our support team (20 members) and need to create categories for around 200 articles. I want the support team to create the categories and sort the articles via card-sorting.I’ve set up a Kanban board with 45 cards (article titles) and columns for groups. I’m pretty happy with the board so I’m ready to share it with the participants to start getting their input.Here’s where I’m stuck.I need help with understanding the best way to share my Miro board for card-sorting so that each participant has their own version to work on. I want them to sort the cards (articles) and name the groups individually and independently of each other.How can I do this?Is the only way to create duplicate boards for each participant or is there are more sophisticated way?I’ve been searching for 2 days, so please let me know if you have the steps or links to an

I use Miro quite a lot to make pdf’s for presentations, whenever I need something quick and not too fancy. It is so much quicker than e.g. indesign and allows me to work collaboratively. No more sending presentation-final2-finalfinal.pdf back and forth.The textsize in miro, when creating a A4 frame, seem to be set for some very different dpi than a usual text-editor. Font size 12 from google doc’s equal roughly font size 67 in Miro. This is a bit confusing when working with the intent to print. For now, I made this guide for myself to stay with roughly the right size. I wonder if there’s a secret trick to this somehow? If not, maybe a toggle for intent-to-print, or setting dpi or something could be a solution?(In general, I think Miro carries some potential as a simpler and more accessible alternative to traditional pdf-making tools. Some more traditional text editing tools would help with this, justified paragraphs etc.)

Hi everyone! I’m representing MitOst e.V., a not-for-profit organization based in Berlin. We mostly engage with such topics as non-formal education (our horizontal school is in charge), active citizenship, and cultural exchange. I’d like to invite you to the workshop/reflection session on Jan 28 where we as a team will be sharing our experience with miro and how we integrate it in our everyday life (we’ve discovered so many unusual ways of using it!). I’ll paste the full description of the event below.For your convenience, here is a FB event and here is the registration form. The participation is free. Ask me anything you want! Over the past year, Covid-19 has been forcing us to urgently leverage new technologies in order to adapt to new ways of working within our organization, with our partners, communities, and target groups. For a while, we felt like tying shoelaces while walking, or better say running, to keep up the pace with the overwhelming changes in our professional life.Havin
