    If facilitation was a mirror, what would you see? Would there be frameworks propping you up, a lingering desire to be liked, or insecurities sat atop your shoulder, quietly whispering in your ear?

    In his new book Facilitating Reflections, the one and only Thomas Lahnthaler holds up this mirror for us all. He invites us to go inward, to step out of the buzzword charade, to close the theory books, and to rethink what we know – because the best facilitation isn’t found in a textbook, but when we can see ourselves a little clearer.

    Together, we journey through two decades worth of Thomas’ facilitation learnings, exploring chapters, ideas, stories, and the rich spaces between facilitation and self. What a joy!

    Find out about:

    The art of self-exploration, and why it’s so necessary for facilitators to masterNavigating the desire to be liked, belonging, and falling in love with the groupWhy facilitation, by default, is disruptive and therefore a threat to psychological safetyThe binary of good vs. bad facilitation – can it really exist?The important role that context, values and presence plays in facilitation

    Curation is far more than an artistic act – it is a political one! It’s what’s to leave in, what to take out, what to filter and what to frame. And through this sense-making assembly, it becomes an invitation: to pay attention, to expand our minds, and to stumble into serendipitous encounters.

    And nothing masters this quite like TED. Curator of ideas, and a 20-year shaper of the TED conferences, Bruno Giussani helped make the cultural institution what it is today – he joins me to dissect the art and science of facilitation’s dear cousin, and why now, more than ever, curation is so necessary.

    Hear the creative workings of the Ted stage, the evolution of TedX, and why Bruno believes ‘content’ is a wrecking ball to culture. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss!

    Find out about:

    The cultural responsibility of curation in our desensitised age of informationThe polarities of algorithmic filters, and real-life, intimate, theatrical curationHow to curate engagement with care, while gently bursting the filter bubbleHow the TED stage was built to blend intimacy with visual impactThe use of music to primes new moods, neutralise tastebuds and signal art as part of the conversation

    Hailing from Quaker circles and Berkeley’s grassroots community movements in the 1960s, is the sagacious Parker J. Palmer – activist, facilitator, teacher and author. His unconventional entry into facilitation was piqued by a fascination with circle-work, which inspired a 30+ year career spent holding space for the mutable truth to emerge.

    This is a wise, thoughtful conversation grounded in a lifetime of Parker’s lived experiences. From authoring your own life, to questioning the truth with kindness, being aware of hubris and approaching facilitation with fresh curiosity every day.

    There’s an incredible amount to learn from Parker in our conversation alone, and I hope you’re as inspired as I was!

    Find out about:

    The confluence of facilitation, writing and teachingWhy safe spaces are an on-going practice, requiring facilitator’s to protect individuals from judgement and criticismUnderstanding the concept of ‘truth’ amongst a group of different perspectivesThe importance of allowing groups to sit in reflection, before rushing to problem-solveWhy every group workshop must be approached with fresh eyes

    How do we host ourselves as facilitators – and how do we host others? How do we grow bigger minds to meet the complexity out there, and then rest in it without needing to know the answers?

    Marco Valente joins me for a big, juicy and mind-opening conversation as we navigate the inner workings of the growing self – and the leader – to better understand the messy, unpredictable complexities of our world. It’s about walking up to our mind’s balcony in search of self-awareness and inner presence, it’s about getting vulnerable in our wrongness, and getting comfortable with the unknown.

    Marco shares his thoughts, leadership advice and hosting tips with beautiful eloquence and I invite every leader, facilitator and sense-maker to press play to this wonderful episode.

    Find out about:

    The mind trap of identity, ego and feedbackThe evolutionary pulls of fear - how much helps or hinders us?Why KPIs can harm the collective, rather than help with long-term growthThe paradox of learning more facilitation methods, in order to detach ourselves from them The balancing act of structure and emergence to accurately address group needs

    Helping people to do their best thinking, is Amanda Cookson. A coach, facilitator and all-round neuroscience whizz, she’s made it her mission to help leaders better understand what it means to be human.

    And it all starts with our own thinking-feeling, wildly brilliant, untamed brain! She guides us through its inner workings with effervescence and passion, showing us how to work with it – rather than against it – steer pulse-quickening conversations towards oxytocin, and design experiences that help rewire the brain for real, lasting change.

    An energising, thoughtful conversation, full of golden mind-training nuggets to try in both facilitation, and life!

    The greatest myth of creativity? It doesn't fall from the sky into our laps like Isaac Newton’s apple! Creativity is far from that romantic, eureka moment, but rather it is messy, cultivated, and curiosity made manifest.

    Luckily for us, Amy Climer has created a system to go about finding this elusive, but valuable novelty with intention – consistently and at scale. A TEDx speaker, trainer and author of the book ‘Deliberate Creative Teams: How to Lead for Innovative Results’, Amy’s work is a creative panacea for leaders, managers and facilitators in search of better ideas.

    From positive feedback fertilisers, to creative learnings from Thomas Edison, she shares her process and the ingredients you’ll need to succeed.

    Find out about:

    The three pillars of creative teams: purpose, dynamics and processWhy conflict is a necessary means to recognise and embrace differenceWhy leaders must intentionally design for collaboration, or risk jeopardising the collectiveHow to cultivate the internal team conditions to allow for creativity

    When you think of an intelligent person, who do you imagine? Perhaps they’re scholarly, quick-thinking, or possess a rare ability to seemingly know all that there is to know.

    But intelligence is infinitely more than this! As Daniel Susser teaches us this week, intelligence is greater than the sum of our cognitive parts: it is bodily, inter-connected and contextual. It is a tapestry of inherited, micro influences that makes us each see the macro world in different ways.

    So if intelligence is collective, how can leaders unlock it from the organisational organism? Daniel shares all in this fascinating, wordly conversation that dances so beautifully between science, religion and ritual.

    It will stretch your thinking and leave you with a whole host of practical tips to extract, celebrate and journey into the intelligence of your organisation!

    Find out about:

    What it means to be an Intelligent Team - and how we can create themWhy organisations must reject their implicit assumptions about what ‘intelligence’ meansWhat macrocognition means in organisationsIntroducing organisational rituals for collaboration, belonging and shared purposeHow leaders can identify imbalances in their organisations using opponent processing

    For every word we swallow, every moment we dilute ourselves, and every time we say ‘yes’ when really, we want to say ‘no’, we collect a pebble into our backpack of life.

    The fantastic duo that is Pete Jordan and Tuulia Syvänen from Honesty Europe join us this week to help us offload these pebbles: showing us the way to live lightly, freely, and in a radical act of resistance, to be ourselves! We explore honesty as a practice of presence, we dig at the roots of interpersonal triggers, and most important of all - we learn how to ask for what we want, when we’ve been conditioned not to - even if it means dancing in the face of rejection.

    If you’re a chronic people pleaser perpetually in search of the peace, this conversation is for you!

    Find out about:

    Learning to ask people to meet our needs - whether the answer is yes, or noThe act of expressing suppressed emotions, to clear space for deeper connectionHow to tune into bodily sensations and remain present, during vulnerable interactions or boundary settingWhy a little discomfort is the price we must pay to be true to ourselvesHow to acknowledge personal judgements in a way that diffuses their power

    What does facilitation have in common with quantum physics? What do organisations have to do with molecules? And why when you ask a question, are you playing around with someone’s mind?

    All will be revealed this week with Jimmie White! A seven-times best-selling author, an indomitable facilitator that has trained The Peace Corps and supported NASA with somatic integration, and in a past life, a teacher of ballroom dancing.

    It’s perhaps not surprising then, that Jimmie’s facilitation is alive with somatic movement, storytelling - and even neuroscience. It’s something Jimmie calls ‘Walking Your Story’: a physical navigating of group narratives, helping us to rewrite our stories, explore multiple outcomes, and bond with others in the steps we take.

    Press play for an incredible, expansive conversation!

    Find out about:

    Jimmie’s ‘Walking Your Story’ method, and how it can foster deep reflection, transformation and connectionThe Observer Effect of Quantum Physics and what it means for facilitationHow physical movement can change our relationship with past storiesThe methods of somatic storytelling and socratic thinkingThe importance of fostering psychological safety in personal storytelling

    Sometimes, just sometimes, you meet someone who is a balm to the soul, who speak words of wisdom, magic, and nurturing depth. Quanita Roberson has this gift - and she returns to the show to share it with us once again!

    Mingling spiritual intelligence with raw human experience, Quanita guides us generously through the messy yet beautiful terrain of healing, as we trace emotions back to their source and learn how to step away from adolescent adulthood.

    She brings us into the heart of questions like: how do we grieve? What does courage really mean? And why do people find it easier to talk about gender than race?

    Find out about:

    Why shame, blame and guilt are not emotions, but rather where we go to hide from themThe initiations of our life, and why we must embrace crumbling to make space for the newThe importance of going inwards to find our wisdom to help the worldWhy there aren’t different ways to grieve, but rather different ways to avoid itThe importance of embodying our emotions, allowing them to move through us

    A pair of flimsy plastic headphones, a voice in your ears bombarding you with dates, names and historical periods, and a momentary pause at each work of art as you side-step the seemingly disinterested guided tour.

    If this sounds familiar, then museum facilitator and author Claire Bown is here to bring the museum alive for you! She reimagines the experience by making space for curiosity, conversation and participant-led interaction, turning passive presentations and fleeting glances into a treasure trove of stories, deep connection and meaning.

    Join Claire to slow down, welcome in a little more wondering, and discover what museum exploration can teach us about the art of participation.

    Find out about:

    Can we explore the future as if it were an archaeological site? Instead of predicting trends or following hype cycles, future archaeologist Markus Iofcea uncovers artifacts - fragments of possible futures - that help us rethink what’s to come.

    Future archaeologist, co-author of the book Zurück zur Zukunft, and all-round inspiring mind, Markus Iofcea, is here to tell us that yes, the future can be ours to create! He digs in the future to see what treasures he can find in its vast archeological site - except his artefacts aren’t the rare remnants of a civilisation gone-by, but rather inventions we are yet to make. Inventions that could change the world!

    From there, he hypothesises his discoveries infinitely - helping organisations to philosophically explore contexts, variations and parameters to test if an innovation will work well beyond our current, limiting reality.

    This was one of those rare, fascinating conversations that you won’t want to miss - thank you for setting my mind alight, Markus!

    Find out about:

    What future archaeology is and how Markus explores the possibilities of the futureFuture artefacts: what they are, how to dig them out, and how to innovate themThe importance of removing an artefact from our current context to prepare for the unknownWhy we must ‘dig’ at an innovation for as long as possible, interrogating its logical componentsHow Markus helps the corporate world to excavate innovations, free from limitations and predictions

    It’s an art form, but it’s not rocket science. It’s courageous, but it’s not not cushy or comforting. And it’s saying no in meaningful ways, rather than saying yes to everything.

    Psychological safety is as much about what it’s not, as what it is. It’s a phenomenon that’s nuanced, ephemeral and often misconceived, asking all of us - facilitator and participant - to hold out our arms to discomfort, take risks, make mistakes and dance in our humanness.

    But to achieve it, and then keep it alive for everyone, takes great self-awareness, emotional regulation - and for us facilitators to feel safe first. Join me for a special solo episode - an hour dedicated entirely to the art of psychological safety!

    As executive coach Akshay Kapur will tell you, silence isn’t just a pause - but spaciousness that allows for someone to jump into its still, shiny waters.

    And our conversation this week was a celebration of these gorgeous, ripe spaces in between. The moments before asking the right question, the invitation that comes before an answer, and the needs that reveal themselves when we listen deeply, and lean in with full, unbridled curiosity.

    Akshay brings beautiful, articulate thoughts to some facilitation truths, sharing how he steps from coach to facilitator, and finds his wisdom from the unknown.

    Find out about:

    Where facilitation and coaching meet, and where they departHow to create space for participants to reflect and engage in thoughtful dialogueThe importance of asking the right question, by interrogating the need behind the need and being prepared for a potential trauma responseWhy facilitation can teach us something about ourselves every time we leave the roomTuning into the different energetic requirement of in-person and online facilitation

    Bringing beautiful indigenous wisdom to the complexities of trauma-resolution is Louise Marra. A facilitator and occasional human-fielder, Louise joins me for a conversation about finding our way back: to a healed state, to the earth, to ourselves.

    Louise opens up her trauma first aid kit in episode 309: what to do when trauma arises in group dynamics, how to resource yourself, how to reroot the fields of organisational trauma, and what to do in a state of freeze.

    Once we can unlearn our patterns, we can begin to repair our ruptures, and return to the healed place we once inhabited. What a treat it was to have this important, life-affirming conversation with Louise!

    The journey of the facilitator is rarely linear. It’s often happily accidental, a little squiggly, and punctuated with moments of imposter as we take it from the side-hustle shadows, to big centre-stage business.

    And Kerri Price can attest to this - after facilitating for what felt like a lifetime, she found herself pressing pause - only to return to the facilitation world with fresh, mindful clarity.

    Kerri joins us to generously share her facilitation story, the lessons she’s learnt in business, and the beauty she found in breaking away to rebalance her priorities. From finding our facilitation happy place, to finding our way through the seasons of life, episode 308 is all about the bits that bring us joy!

    Find out about:

    The common misconceptions about facilitation and starting a businessThe importance of asking: what is the most generous thing I can do for the group right now?Why facilitators must embrace acceptance and learn to be ok with the unexpectedHow to navigate the energetic demands of facilitation - and life’s seasonsThe importance of setting the right emotional tone for the group

    This week we take a hiatus from the ‘usual’ facilitation content, to journey into the wonders of the psychedelic with Kacey Cardin, as she introduces us to its sacred, healing powers.

    Working with LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and Ketamine as her co-facilitators, Kacey safely guides people - from public figures to leaders - into a state of therapeutic self-discovery, where the unconscious mind becomes conscious, and deep expansion can start to take place.

    Step into this fascinating world with us, as Kacey shares the miraculous possibilities of neuroplasticity, somatic integration, and listening to callings from the universe.

    Find out about:

    The ancient wisdom of psychedelics and plant medicineThe importance of establishing psychological safety through energy and environment Kacey’s process of integration: from somatic work, to talking, and post-therapeutic journaling Kacey's approach to the work, using a blend of intuition, experience, and emotional & physical health evaluationThe healing of the nervous system and the emergence of neuroplasticity

    How often do you tell yourself that you can’t do something? We all have a habit of collecting self-fulfilling prophecies in our pockets, that’s just human nature - but what might happen if we dared to say ‘I can’?

    Joining us for a beautiful, inward-facing episode about the self, the power of the mind, and how to lead in more inclusive ways, is Aim-on Wongsaparn. As a coach and facilitator, a liberator of limiting beliefs, and someone who shares a rather unexpected similarity with Barack Obama, Aim-on is a fervent advocate that everyone can realise their potential - when they know how.

    Press play to banish the self-doubt, break your bias, and get inspired.

    Find out about:

    The practical strategies needed to challenge your own limiting beliefsHow to recognise your self-talk and tune into your thinking mindThe importance of expressing emotions to cultivate compassionate, connected relationshipsWhy we must make the implicit explicit when cultural, hierarchical differences are at playHow to challenge your biases in leadership to enable collective growthDon’t miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.
