Facilitation | July 23, 2024

In professional development, the principles of practice and feedback are vital. Much like athletes and musicians refine their skills through rehearsal and critique, professionals must engage in deliberate practice and seek feedback to master their craft. This blog post explores these elements, providing insights and strategies to foster growth and success in the workplace. Facilitators, in particular, need ongoing practice and feedback to enhance their skills. Structured practice opportunities and feedback loops help identify strengths and areas for improvement. Embracing a growth mindset is essential, as it encourages seeking feedback and viewing challenges as learning opportunities. In professional settings, practice often gets neglected, overshadowed by the expectation to perform flawlessly. To foster growth, professionals need environments where they can safely practice and receive feedback, similar to athletes rehearsing before a performance.

Facilitation Lab Summit | April 30, 2026

At the 2026 Facilitation Lab Summit, Robin Neidorf opened with a room full of people singing in three-part harmony and spent the next 90 minutes making a case that facilitation is not just a cognitive practice. It is a bodily one. Drawing on nearly 30 years of parallel practice in facilitation and yoga, Robin introduced tools for activating body-based awareness before and during sessions, a practical framework for understanding what different group sizes do to the relational field, and experiential exercises that help facilitators sense more and interpret less. A must-read for anyone who has ever felt the room shift before they could name why, and wanted better tools to work with that knowing.

Facilitation Lab Summit | April 23, 2026

At the 2026 Facilitation Lab Summit, Brian Buck invited facilitators to ask a question most technique-focused training skips entirely: who are you becoming in this work, and why does it matter? Drawing on a three-part fire model built around ember, kindle, and illuminate, Brian offered a practical framework for shifting from a facilitator who brings the fire to one who ignites it in others. Through a paired exercise in illuminating presence, participants experienced firsthand how asking different questions and offering different kinds of attention can unlock belonging, collective intelligence, and breakthroughs that no agenda alone can produce. A powerful session for any facilitator ready to make presence their most important tool.
