Today I’m joined by one of the most thoughtful teachers I’ve ever met: Sean D’Souza from Psychotactics in New Zealand.I first saw Sean speak at the We Are Podcast conference — and let me tell you, I was hooked. Not just because he was engaging and entertaining (he was), but because his philosophy on learning, time, and facilitation absolutely cut through. I knew I had to bring him on the show.In this episode, we go deep on:Why participants really come to your workshop — and it’s not for the informationThe critical link between safety and learning (for both participants and facilitators)Why Sean intentionally slows down his workshops to guarantee skill developmentThe real reason we forget everything in our notebooks... and what to do insteadHow to use breaks, stories, and simplicity as powerful facilitation toolsHis method for teaching cartooning to complete beginners online (spoiler: it's genius)We also talk about confidence, the energy cost of learning, and the role of fun (yes, actual fun) in skill acquisition.💥 My big takeaway? The best facilitators aren’t trying to impress. They’re obsessed with making the learner feel safe, seen, and skilled.📣 Got a favourite insight?
