Facilitation Lab Summit | March 26, 2026

At the 2026 Facilitation Lab Summit, Renita Joyce Smith delivered a session that flipped the script on facilitation: the most powerful tool in any room isn't your agenda or your activities—it's you. Drawing on years of experience in coaching and organizational work, Renita challenged facilitators to move beyond the performance of professionalism and into the practice of genuine presence. She explored what it truly means to show up unmasked, how to build a container that is both structured and deeply human, and why noticing, naming, and inviting are the three moves that separate good facilitation from transformative facilitation. A must-watch for any facilitator ready to stop hiding behind the toolkit and start trusting themselves as the instrument.
