At the 2026 Facilitation Lab Summit in Austin, eight facilitators explored what it means to lead from the “edge”—where certainty dissolves and something new can emerge. This recap traces facilitation’s evolution from expert control to illuminated presence: shifting from certainty to curiosity, expertise to authenticity, analysis to whole intelligence, structure to exploration, and control to safety. Featuring insights on collective intelligence, expedition-style innovation, finding your facilitation voice, embodiment, belonging, and trauma-informed practice—plus why these skills matter now as organizations face unprecedented complexity.
