343 - The Paradox of Professional Facilitation with Vinay Kumar


Listen Later

If a facilitator goes unseen, are they any less present? 

This is the beautiful paradox of facilitation: as we grow more adept in our craft, our presence in the room becomes less noticeable – less needed – because we’ve subtly set the magic of facilitation into motion.

Master of his craft Vinay Kumar knows this only too well. When you relinquish control, place your trust in the group, and set the stage for emergence to unfold, the space begins to hold itself – sometimes in unexpected ways. Join us as we go meta on facilitation and Vinay shares the stories and life lessons he’s learnt with generous warmth and wisdom. 

Find out about:

  • How to become the invisible facilitator that lets go of control and trusts the group
  • The polarity of facilitation: why you have to do facilitation to become facilitation
  • What makes a professional facilitator, when everyone can call themselves one?
  • The impact of sustained, collaborative facilitation that lasts beyond the first workshop
