The connection between facilitation, rapt attention, and love? I am drawn to facilitation for giving the gift of listening closely out of love.

A promotional banner for a virtual course titled 'Facilitating Collaborative Innovation' set against a natural background of green foliage, tree bark, and white flowers. The text 'VIRTUAL COURSE' appears in olive green, while 'FACILITATING' is in teal, 'COLLABORATIVE' in darker teal, and 'INNOVATION' in olive green. Event details show April 8, 15, 22 & 29, 2026, with times 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM Pacific US and 12:00 PM - 3:30 PM Eastern US, accompanied by a calendar and clock icon.

A digital illustration of a diverse group of people standing in a circle at a conference. Each person has a translucent thought bubble above their head—some show a lightbulb (representing a want), some a question mark (representing a need), and others both. Fine glowing lines connect several bubbles, suggesting shared interests or mutual discovery. The background depicts a welcoming, modern event space with natural light, coffee tables, and whiteboards. The mood is collaborative, curious, and engaged.
Satisfying wants and needs at meetings is what I do. But there's a subtle interplay between wants and needs at my conferences that isn't obvious.

Ever experienced a collision of agreements? Here's an example — and what I learned — during a one-day workshop with 24 college presidents.

A whiteboard with the words "Ground rules deprive us of information" written inside a rectangle.
Do we need agreements to facilitate? After 30+ years of facilitating thousands of groups, I argue that agreements are a vital tool in any facilitator's toolbox.

Sharing our experience of others directly with them can be incredibly powerful. Example: a story about facilitating a workshop group in 2019.

Sometimes, letting silence grow for a while is the right thing to do. That's why we need to become comfortable with silence at meetings.

start online meetings on time: an illustration. At the center is a computer screen with four participants in an online meeting. Around it are four icons of two people running with a briefcase and a clock, an angry person looking at their watch, and a puzzled person with a large clock behind them.
How to start online meetings on time? By sharing _two_ times: the time the meeting platform will open and the time when it will start!

Black History Month reminds me that leadership formation did not begin with titles. I think often about Ella Baker and how lived experience shaped their leadership long before recognition followed.
