Facilitation is a system that gives groups space to make sense — it’s not about guiding them towards something, nor is it about leading them.But what is ‘deliberate sensemaking’ all about? To the uninitiated, it may sound a little simplistic — is it just about helping people understand stuff that they’re working on?Michael Hamman, one of the foremost voices in Agile coaching and training, explains all in this episode and reveals the complexity behind seemingly simple sense-making. We discuss the facilitator’s role as a mirror for the group, the work before the work of sensemaking, and how our incessant and instinctive need to categorise is the last great barrier to topple if we want things to make more sense.Find out about:How sensemaking and categorisation help groups make progressWhy, once we understand categorisation, we shall dismantle itHow to create deeper insight by leaving some questions unanswered Why facilitation is about being a mirror, rather than a paintingHow to design workshops that prioritise sensemakingWhat happens when we break ourselves free from the categories we’ve createdThe common theme that emerges when Michael prioritises inner beauty in his workshop designDon’t miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.LinksWatch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Centre for Inner Agility website.Connect to Michael:On LinkedInShare your thoughts about our conversation!Support the show✨✨✨Subscribe to our newsletter to receive a free 1-page summary of each upcoming episode directly to your inbox, or explore our eBooks featuring 50-episode compilations for even more facilitation insights.
