Description

What keeps experienced facilitators and coaches curious, engaged and successful after years of practice?

In this Expert Tips Masterclass episode of 1AM Talks, three experienced facilitators and coaches reflect on  insights they have gleaned over the years, including what to do when things go wrong.

This episode looks at how learning happens not just through techniques, but through attention to what’s happening in the room, in our mindsets, between people, and within wider organisational systems — and how this shapes facilitation and coaching practice over time.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• Working with discomfort in workshops and programmes
• Holding a beginner’s mindset, alongside deep experience
• How to set up a workshop with supportive guidelines
• Systemic and relational ways of thinking about coaching
• What long-term practice teaches you about motivation and failure

A thoughtful, experience-led episode for facilitators, coaches and L&D and OD practitioners who are  interested in reflective, successful learning.

As you listen, you’re invited to reflect on what resonates for you — and to share your own thoughts and experiences with us.
