A recording from a wonderful conversation with Manal Sayid and Jonathan Bennett about facilitation vs chairing.
We cover:
the differences, and overlaps, between chairing and facilitation. From authority and rules to trust and inclusion.
how the roles are evolving,
and what we can learn from Indigenous governance traditions about stewarding authority while building relationships.

P.S. From October, I will be working with a small cohort of people to learn how to make their facilitation more impactful on the job!
Instead of learning facilitation in the abstract, we work on the design and delivery of a real workshop you’re running, with hands-on guidance, templates and support from me.
Want to know more? Let’s talk. I have a small number of slots in my calendar for 20 minute call to quickly see if it’s a fit.
