    So much helpful information!
    If you are a facilitator, even only occasionally, you owe it to yourself to put this in your rotation! Every episode contains wisdom I can immediately apply to my own workshops. Thanks Myriam!

    Master Class
    Every single episode is filled with incredible nuggets that I find myself applying immediately, both practically in my day-to-day work as well as sharing with all my colleagues. Not only will the insights from the interviews make you a better facilitator, but also a more empathetic leader! I recommend this podcast to everyone I know.
