Intro
Being a facilitator is one thing, but Stephen Berkeley is on a mission to live a facilitative life.
This idea is incredibly intriguing – can it be done? How do we walk the line between staying curious and ‘coaching’ our relationships? Is it possible to use silence as a tool in our day-to-day lives?
Stephen joins me in this episode to explore all of the above and much more. We wind our way through the edges of facilitation and find ourselves at the heart of what it means to be human, to hold space for others, and to be present in every situation we encounter.
