#004 - Learning & development expert Joanna Miller, who describes herself as a “personal trainer for discomfort,” challenges us to embrace both joy and discomfort as a way to get more of the connection we crave in our personal and professional lives. We talk about how to be more real with ourselves and others (and why that’s so important), and explore ways to proactively “dial up the magic” in order to create moments of true connection.

#003 - Today we embark on a soulful journey with artist entrepreneur Adam Rosendahl to learn about his transformative introduction to the world of facilitation, the visual arts as a tool to unlock empathy, healing and connection across cultures and differences, and the power of personal ritual to help facilitators get in the zone of making magic for others. We discuss the different ways in which facilitators feel part of and disconnected from the groups we’re guiding, and what it’s like to return to in-person gatherings after facilitating virtually through the pandemic.

#002 - In our very first interview, I chat with rockstar facilitator and experience designer Jenny Sauer-Klein about how to guide groups on a playful note - without feeling forced. We explore what it means to strike the balance between structure and spontaneity, how to trust your own intuition, and ultimately unlock the ability to “meet people where they're at" so that we can create intimate environments where everyone is invited to flourish.
