Manal Sayid is a fascinating person, speaker, and podcast guest - as she proves in this episode of workshops.work! Her experience ranges from the suicide prevention helpline of Distress Centres Toronto, to all manner of corporate and third sector facilitation roles.

And she’s achieved it all without an obvious role model or well-trodden footsteps to follow.

We bring all of this together in this episode, discussing the vital lessons in facilitation she has learned in unexpected places and what it’s like to sit in workshops in which nobody looks like ‘you’.

The conversation is smooth, surprisingly light despite its sometimes-heavy content, and utterly enriching.

Enjoy this standout episode!

Find out about:

• Why fear is so powerful and how we can harness it to help us connect, communicate, and grow
• How inclusive facilitation creates a ripple effect
• How to hold uncomfortable conversations about diversity and inclusion
• What happens when we work with our anxieties, rather than against them
• Why we really don’t need to “do” much to help others to step into vulnerability
• How to create workshops and environments that are more inclusive
