141 - Insights about Facilitation: Conversations at the NDB Festival

Friday 19 November, 2021 marked the second NeverDoneBefore Festival.

In keeping with the spirit of the day, I elected to do something unique and, admittedly, daunting: a live podcast recording with anyone and everyone who wished to participate. No agenda, no plans, no idea what we’d discuss. 

Eight wonderful conversations with eight wonderful facilitators from across the globe followed. Now we’ve brought those conversations together, turning them into micro-interviews and dividing them across three short episodes, to paint a picture of the NDB 2021 experience.

Listen along to hear how these facilitators reflected their learnings against their own practice, assumptions, and plans for the future. It’s a NeverDoneBefore moment - captured in time, preserved in podcast form!

In this part, hear from:

• How facilitation is a dance between order and chaos, with Patrick Tiongson
• Why we need to learn to think in the long-term again, with Saar Ben-Attar
• How to intentionally design a workshop for slow thinking, with Jeremy Akers
