Facilitating with AI
Facilitating with AI
Introduction to Facilitation in an AI-Shaped World
Live Online
With Skye Idehen-Osunde and Reshma Khan
AI is changing how work gets done — but it hasn’t replaced the need for human facilitation. In fact, it’s made it more important.
In this introductory workshop, you’ll explore how facilitation skills and AI can work together to improve collaboration, decision-making, and alignment across teams. Rather than treating AI as a tool for faster output, we’ll focus on how facilitators and collaborative leaders can use AI inside the work — to surface perspectives, strengthen shared understanding, and design better group experiences.
This session is a practical entry point into Voltage Control’s facilitation approach and certification programs. You’ll learn the core qualities of effective facilitation, see how they map to real leadership challenges, and experience how AI can support — not replace — thoughtful, inclusive facilitation.

Reshma Khan
Reshma Aziz Khan is Kenyan and grew up in Nairobi, the Green City in the Sun. She has worked in the non-profit sector for over a decade, and has led team strategy, organizational development and transformation initiatives in various parts of Africa as well as Asia, the Middle East and North America. Her keen awareness on cross-cultural engagement allows her to respectfully navigate and work with people of all cultures, mind-sets and diversities. What she says on her purpose as a facilitator: ‘‘I am a CONDUIT FOR EFFECTIVE DIALOGUE AND DECISION MAKING.I create and hold a safe space for participants so that all voices feel that they can speak and be heard. Pushing my own boundaries, also actively encourage divergent thinking, and encourage generative conflict and differing viewpoints to be shared, and hold space for individuals to work through that discomfort towards then converging towards shared ownership on a decision. I aim for every participant to leave each session knowing their specific purpose going forward and feeling that they can get behind whatever decision was made, and feeling that they were fully included and validated.’
