Line 40:
Second, '''the stage director''' (or logistics) role. This role includes stuff like planning food, making sure you have physical objects like extension cords and sticky notes for feedback, and getting people signed in. There will probably be volunteers for any one of these tasks, but the stage director puts the volunteer there to do it. This requires staying organized under pressure!
Last, the '''circus ringmaster/ringmistress''', who welcomes everyone to the circus with an entertaining "what are we doing here" intro and sends attendees off to their small groups and helps them be amazed by their own feats of strength. At the end this person inspires people to continue, with study groups and follow-up resources. (Our analogies sometimes break down.) This requires charisma, rather than staying organized.
There are plenty of other things that could go into one person's bucket over the other. The three roles have more and less work at various points, so it might make sense for you to trade off being stage director before and during the event, in addition to your other role.
