291 - Building Trust through Facilitation with Maria Arpa

There is great richness to be found in human connection - when we know how. To truly see others, to step into vulnerability and to find hidden reflections in ourselves.

Maria Arpa is an absolute powerhouse of inspiration. From mediation to facilitation, she’s made it her life’s purpose to change the path of others for the better: working with people in extreme poverty, areas of knife crime, and social deprivation to overcome conflict, seek peaceful dialogue, and find connection they never knew possible.

Guiding us through learnings from the streets of London, prisons and social neighbourhoods, all the way to the corporate corridors, this episode packs a powerful punch! It’s an exploration of humanity, hope, and the healing of the self.

Find out about:

• Maria’s Dialogue Road Map method of communication
• How we can support groups to have vulnerable conversations
• Why what you see in others is a reflection of yourself
• Expressing and recognising the language of needs
• Why we must create specific spaces to change the system
