Key takeaways

A unique combination of warm and empathetic storytelling blended with real-life applications, this guide by expert facilitator Kevan Gilbert takes you on a journey as he unpacks what he’s learned (so far) about facilitation. 

Each phase in the facilitation process is illustrated with experiences from Kevan’s work, and broken down into key focuses, mindsets, and tasks. Learn how to conduct discovery and ensure readiness. Understand what co-design is and why it makes all the difference. Get experienced advice on how to host with intention and presence. And create a recovery experience for yourself that will refill your tank and set you up for a sustainable practice.

“We need to learn facilitation in a way that fully embraces the unpredictability, humanity, and wildness of the act itself. And we need to know how to work in a trauma-informed, sensitive manner as facilitators. These true stories illuminate alternative ways forward. It’s the book I wish I had the chance to read when I was getting a start.”
