At the 2026 Facilitation Lab Summit, Joe Randel — roadie, musician, radio DJ, and talent buyer — used the lens of a DJ to explore one of facilitation's most important and underexamined questions: how do you find your voice? Drawing on the DJ's approach to repertoire, interpretation, and real-time presence, Joe offered a practical framework for understanding what makes your facilitation distinctly yours — and why that voice is your greatest competitive advantage in an age of AI. From the cut-blend-let-it-end decision framework to the idea that journey is always co-created rather than prescribed, this session is a must-read for any facilitator looking to move from competent to truly irreplaceable.
