Master the Craft of Group Facilitation
Facilitating groups is a craft anybody can learn. We'll help you master it.
A live, cohort-based course for rising and established leaders who want to lead groups through complex and fraught dynamics — so they can actually achieve their purpose. Co-taught with Kate Krontiris through the Facilitation Leadership Lab.
We've all been in the stuck meeting.
Meetings that fail to achieve their goals. Planning processes hijacked by conflict or unproductive group dynamics. Strategy retreats that focus on all the wrong issues. Facilitation is the craft that turns those moments around — and it can be learned and practiced, in a lab-like environment, until it's yours.

Broken processes

Four modules, two weekends, one live facilitation challenge from your own work.
Each module pairs a three-hour live lab with capstone materials, so you build a plan for a real group you're leading. Click a module.
Module 1 · Core Skills & Focused Strategy
Jump to solutions — treating the symptoms of a group's challenge while its roots keep reproducing the same stuck dynamic.
Develop actionable, purposeful strategies that address the roots — not symptoms — of group challenges, and bring the group along with you.
