Build Adaptive Capacity
You facilitate when you help clarify, negotiate, and resolve differences. It can be a formal role when you are charged with leading others to negotiate system differences. On the other hand, facilitation can be informal. It happens anytime you support another person or group to see beyond their current challenge to find wise action.

You leave work stressed out. You wake in the night and can’t get back to sleep. You dread Monday and can’t wait for Friday.

What can you do to help yourself and your team leverage the stress you feel into creative tension you can use?

Activities are acceptable to some, but not to others. In the media, it is hard to know fake news from real news or editorial comment. Around the world, people are stuck. Irreconcilable differences seem to dominate the conversation.

We have all been in meetings that were poorly facilitated, right? In these meetings we see too many distractions, too little coherence in the conversation, too much information, not enough information. They drag down our energy and waste our time.

Self-care is a walk in the woods. It’s the brisk movement of my feet touching the soil and the soft wind caressing on my skin. It’s the sun on my face and the view from each vista I reach. It’s the feeling of enchantment with the natural world. It’s the conversations I have with you along the way. It is in the way we share and listen to each other, and in the encouragement we give as we walk the trail of life.
