In our recent webinar, Boris Petrovitch Njegosh, a seasoned facilitator and product manager, led an insightful session on "Elevating research & discovery". With a rich background in design thinking and technology, Boris has driven innovation in remote teams for years. His experience includes working with major companies like Airbus and various startups, making him a respected figure in the facilitation community.
Boris began by sharing his professional journey, emphasizing the transition from traditional design roles to becoming a facilitator. He highlighted the importance of fostering a collaborative environment and leveraging remote tools to enhance team productivity.
During the webinar, participants were introduced to the concept of design thinking, which he defined as a user-centered approach to problem-solving that encourages innovative solutions. The session included practical exercises using Miro templates, aimed at helping teams understand user challenges, brainstorm ideas, and prototype solutions effectively.
Key exercises included
User Journey Mapping: This exercise guided participants through creating detailed user journeys to better understand user needs and pain points.
Persona Development: Participants created personas to represent different user types, helping to tailor solutions more effectively to user needs.
Empathy Mapping: This activity focused on understanding users' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, fostering a deeper connection with the user experience.
Prototyping: Participants used Miro to create quick prototypes of their ideas, allowing for rapid testing and iteration.
Boris's session was highly interactive, with participants engaging in breakout rooms to apply the concepts discussed. The use of Miro and other collaborative tools was emphasized as essential for facilitating effective remote teamwork.

WAS IT A KIND OF DREAM ✨
I planned to write about webinars today, but sometimes, life had other plans. My latest nomad experience deserves your full attention.
Let me share the fairytale of the Mountain Villages Cowork 🧚
🪐 LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR AWAY…
Foz d'Égua near Piódão Schist village, Portugal
Last month, Véronique Canas Da Silva, my life partner, and I arrived at one of Portugal’s most beautiful yet remote villages 🇵🇹. Piódão, a stunning schist mountain village, far from the noise of civilization... and a decent WiFi/5G signal 😱
At this particular time of my story, everything seems set for an online training session tragedy... But I trusted a solution would emerge from our slow-paced lifestyle, so read more to see how magic can happen ✨
💩 WHEN IT STARTS TO SMELL SCHIST
Cooperativa cowork, Aldeias de Montanha, Lapa dos Dinheiros, Portugal
The day before, with no plan and using a grocery store’s WiFi, I discovered that Miro silently upgraded my Miro Assist component to Miro AI 😱 + 🥳
No time to reschedule or prepare, this Miro Assist dedicated course with 16 paid participants would now be a very live experiment 🔥
Feel the thrill with me ? 😱😱😱
✨ TRUSTING IN YOUR DESTINY
Inside the old Primary school reshaped in a modern cowork space
On the day of the remote training, we drove an hour to Seia, a medieval village, finding 2 bars of 5G—barely 20 Mbps for remote survival under a scorching 38°C sun ☀️
A sudden intuition led me to search for "coworking" on Google Maps. A few phone calls later, we were 15 minutes away from an incredible find: the cooperative Cowork from Aldeias de Montanha in Lapa dos Dinheiros 🤩
A fully renovated village school, transformed into a world-class coworking space with 100 Mbps connection, handcrafted furniture, and full equipment!
When Andreia Silva welcomed us and presented the free Mountain Village cowork project, it felt like a dream ✨
Two hours to set up my remote office and adapt the training to Miro AI, I felt the universe was supporting me in launching this early-stage remote classroom on Miro AI 🙌
By the way, the training went very fine with a rare 100+ NPS thanks to Oliver Thiele, Mara Elder, Isabel Murillo, Mark Johnson and the others 😉
🏖️ MAGIC MADE IN PORTUGAL
River beach from Lapa dos Dinheiros : 2 minutes from the cowork
No, Nathy Ravez and Audrey Thouvenin, you don't have the nomad leadership in Bali : you haven’t felt true magic until you’ve worked from a schist village in Portugal ✨
