Show Notes
Leanne Hughes interviews our host Paul McGregor
A year into hosting this podcast, I realise that the process has taught me so much about being a better communicator, facilitator and consultant. Recently, it also led me to being interviewed for Episode 179 of the the First Time Facilitator Podcast with the energetic Leanne Hughes.
If you are feeling tired or drained within your role at the moment, today's episode is going to provide you with a bit of inspiration, as well as some new ideas, tools and maybe even some perspective.
This time, we are flipping the script and I'm the one being interviewed. Leanne Hughes gave us permission to share her interview with me on our own podcast… with a few edits for our audience!
I open up about some of the challenges I've faced working in government, being a facilitator, and a consultant, and how it all brought me to where I am today.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
Why facilitation doesn’t mean solving all the problems for your group.
Some of my past facilitation failures and how those have shaped me
Why it’s important to realise that the value we deliver is separate from our self-worth
How trusting your curiosity and intuition can be great tools for facilitation in the moment.
