As executive coach Akshay Kapur will tell you, silence isn’t just a pause - but spaciousness that allows for someone to jump into its still, shiny waters.

And our conversation this week was a celebration of these gorgeous, ripe spaces in between. The moments before asking the right question, the invitation that comes before an answer, and the needs that reveal themselves when we listen deeply, and lean in with full, unbridled curiosity.

Akshay brings beautiful, articulate thoughts to some facilitation truths, sharing how he steps from coach to facilitator, and finds his wisdom from the unknown.

Find out about:

• Where facilitation and coaching meet, and where they depart
• How to create space for participants to reflect and engage in thoughtful dialogue
• The importance of asking the right question, by interrogating the need behind the need and being prepared for a potential trauma response
• Why facilitation can teach us something about ourselves every time we leave the room
• Tuning into the different energetic requirement of in-person and online facilitation
