coaching cohort for facilitators: person areas of focus (jan-apr 2025)

15 Sep 2025

Interior Condition and Transmission

“…from tool mastery to cultivating the interior condition that shapes the space.””

• What am I bringing into the room simply by being?
• How does my energy impact what becomes possible?

Let curiosity and presence continue to guide your facilitation—not just what you do, but who you are becoming.

Curiosity Disrupts Assumption

“…catching assumptions before they land can shift everything. Keep playing with the somatics of “Hmm.” Let surprise be a co-facilitator.”

Let’s not Turn “Interior Work” into Something Else to Achieve

The work of cultivating presence is not to avoid getting in trouble or to be good. It’s a sacred orientation toward truth and trust. Let’s let it be rooted in inherent goodness, not performance.

Continue Experimenting with Feelings-Based Conversations

• Keep noticing how people react when you pause to check in before answering “How are you?”
• Observe not just their responses but your own internal experience. What arises emotionally in these moments?
• Perhaps most important: Pay attention to the emotional labor involved. How does this practice affect your energy, and where might you need to tend to yourself more intentionally?

Strengthen Your Disappointment Resilience

• Reflect on your relationship with disappointment. Especially the distinction between being disappointed by others versus in yourself.
• Consider journaling about:
  • Moments when you felt disappointment and how you navigated them.
  • How do you tend to process disappointment? Notice any patterns?
  • What practices or perspectives might help build resilience around this experience of disappointment?

Exploring Transmission & Holding Space for Emotional Energy

• In facilitation, experiment with holding emotions as they show up, letting them move through, rather than moving to “fix” or resolve them.
• Notice how your own awareness changes the emotional landscape in a room.
• Observe how energy moves in facilitation—where does it shift naturally when simply acknowledged?

Observation Practice: Teaching & Transmission in Facilitation

After each facilitation, journal on:

• What did I teach? (even if not explicitly)
• What was I transmitting beyond the content?

This isn’t about changing anything yet—just noticing.

Engage with the Season’s Energy

This is Pisces season, your favorite! 😉 Like you said, it is a time for fluidity, intuition, and emotional openness. Consider simple ways to attune to it, such as:

• Taking a moment each day to acknowledge that you’re in this
• season.
• Looking up at the sky and asking, “What does this season
• have for me?”
• Letting the energy of the season subtly inform your
• interactions and facilitation.

This isn’t about a grand practice—just small moments of recognition and inquiry.
