299 - Navigating our Edges Through Inclusion-Based and Trauma-Informed Facilitation with Maggie Coulter

What does it *really* mean to meet people where they’re at? What can happen when we surrender to the serendipity of life? And how do we become aware of our own edges?

This episode is punctuated with some big, beautiful questions that Maggie Coulter so eruditely explores with me through the lens of trauma-informed, inclusion-based facilitation.

Join us as Maggie shares her life’s experiences, unravelling everything from boundaries to blindspots, and the inner work we must do to not only avoid stepping on emotional landmines - but to handle them with the utmost care and respect. 

A vulnerable and enlightening conversation - I thank you, Maggie!

Find out about:

• How Maggie’s experiences have informed her own practice as a trauma-informed coach
• Projecting our own ideas: how to separate our stories from the group’s trauma
• Why we must heal ourselves first, before we can hold space for others
• How to recognise and appreciate the vulnerability of participants opening up
• The power of options in trauma-informed work
• The importance of considered word choice and recognising nuanced body language
