Introducing Adam Kahane

Our guest today has written five books on facilitation and has worked in environments where the stakes were pretty high -  like post apartheid, South Africa or in Columbia after 52 years of civil war.

Adam has been on my wishlist to interview ever since I read his first book soon after leaving university. He believes that facilitation is about everything that you do to help people to work together, to affect change. It’s not just about flip charts, sticky notes and whiteboards.

In this episode we unpack his latest book, Facilitating Breakthrough, where Adam gives us a new framework, some new ways of thinking about how to enable change.

So if you are a facilitator who wants to achieve breakthroughs in how people work together, this episode ifs for you.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

  • The difference between horizontal and vertical facilitation and how to cycle between them with some intentionality.
  • The importance of recognising that polarities aren’t either/or choices, but that they need to co-exist in facilitation.
  • How the core of facilitation is in removing obstacles to greater contribution; to love, power and justice.
  • That the world needs more and better collaboration and therefore more and better facilitation.
