As facilitator you guide teams through chaos

Dec19

“As facilitator you guide innovation teams through chaos.”

In every innovation session there’s a moment when the room feels messy, uncertain and uncomfortable. That’s exactly when facilitation matters most. Not to take over, but to guide the team through the chaos so they can discover their most valuable breakthroughs.

In my world-class facilitator quotes series, I’m sharing what I’ve learnt from decades of leading innovation journeys worldwide. And I love helping others boost their facilitation skills too.

If you’d like to sharpen how you design, lead and land innovation workshops, join my special facilitation training. Send me a DM or comment “facilitation” and I’ll share the details.
