In this episode, host Beth Cougler Blom talks with Chanchal Garg about what it means to facilitate as a conscious leader and how truth-telling, vulnerability, and intention shape the way we work with groups.

Beth and Chanchal also talk about:

• How inner safety and self-soothing help facilitators take interpersonal risks
• Why truth-telling is a leadership act and a personal practice
• The balance between vulnerability and influence in group settings
• How narratives from childhood shape how we lead
• The power of naming what's happening in the room
