Emerging Voices Shaping Facilitation
You’ll get to co-host an upcoming episode of the Facilitating on Purpose Podcast.
Yes, really!
This is a small experiment, co created by the IAF Future Now Community and Beth Cougler Blom, facilitator, learning designer, and podcast host based in Canada.
Together, we’re opening up the microphone to the community.
The idea is simple and very intentional.
Create a space that feels open, honest, and human.
❌ No panels
❌ No presentations
❌ No experts performing on a stage
We're opening the microphone to all facilitators under 35 to gather for a 75 minute Zoom conversation about what facilitation feels like right now.
Especially if you are early on in your facilitation career and you're still figuring things out as they go.
We’ll explore questions like:
What are newer facilitators thinking about today?
What feels exciting, challenging, or uncertain in your work?
What do you want to learn from more experienced facilitators?
What could the wider field learn from your experience?
Beth and the Future Now team will be part of the conversation, but our role is mostly to listen and hold the space.
When?
🗓 Thursday, Feb 26
⏰ 5:00pm CET | 8:00am PST | 10:00am CST
🎙 Audio will be shared on Beth’s Facilitating on Purpose podcast. Video may also be shared on YouTube.
This isn’t about having polished answers or saying the “right” thing. It’s about learning together, out loud.
If you’re early in your facilitation journey, we’d especially love to hear your voice.
And if you’re more experienced and curious to listen, learn, and be surprised, you’re very welcome too.
Let’s learn from each other, together.
