When you’re facilitating, where are you? In your head, your body, a role? There are no wrong answers, but there are plenty of interesting questions you can ask to better understand how you facilitate.

Anna Momber-Heers can share a lot of interesting insights, as her background is as a performance and communication coach. She helps professionals use tools and ideas from acting to get into their bodies and into a more settled place in their minds.

The closer we can get to our bodies, the clearer we can get in our minds. And, in fact, the more we can start to use one to influence the other. Learn about embodied facilitation and how to act like the facilitator you want to be in this episode.

Find out about:

• Why creating a facilitator ‘role’ for yourself can make it easier to focus on your job
• How we can use acting tools to connect us to our minds, bodies, and emotions
• What changes when facilitators have a stronger connection to their physical and mental experiences
• Why trust is irreplaceable in workshop settings
• Differentiating between our private selves and our present selves in the room
• How to handle the tension between encouraging improvisation and managing time
• How to train your body to prompt and support your mind in different states
